Better Odds

I fully agree.

What worries me most is that finishing a unit with 1/2 against 60s and 1/3 against 70s might become too easy.
Then blocking becomes meaningless in such instances because you then can three way such a piece easily.

yeah should have been 0.4*0.28 = 0.112.
because it is 20*0.6. It was a typo .


Needed to calc a bit to see the effects. Maybe try your setting, but imho it squeezes heavily towards e-value, making it
a little bit low luck style.

So how about a slider, at least for now? Maybe a slider is a good idea overall, maybe it could be more than 2 options - just allow the user to specify how much of a change they want.

Did you find a way to have it precalc the odds for the preview of combat?

No, but I could definitely change the game source code and recompile a treated version so that it only ever uses one seed . Though I haven't looked much.

1.2b fixes the mod breaking on game reload and changes Luck Stacking to off by default.

Proof that the mod works
I have treated a wesnoth version to always draw 50 out of 100 during combat. Here is a youtube video demonstrating the difference:

Any chance to make this Mod also work in singleplayer campaigns?

From a Steam forum thread:

In the in-game add-ons browser, only found Better Odds while looking for mods on this subject, but Better Odds only works for multiplayer. Removing #ifdef MULTIPLAYER from its _main.cgf file (so it can be loaded in singleplayer) results on the mod not working and a cascade of errors.

Thanks for the request! I'll definitely look into it.

1.3 - the mod is now singleplayer compatible.

Does the mod work only for the player's side or also for AI (in campaigns)?

[Choicerer]

It works for both.

Great, thanks. I was looking for something like this, sometimes the random streaks of luck/bad luck can be frustrating.
