Default Re: (OT) Do you prefer to know game formulas?

I think this has alot to do with MultiPlay vs SoloPlay. The MP people tend to like some variety but only a little bit. Enough to affect a turn but not enough to decide a game. The SP folk are playing against the game itself so larger game-changing events are more acceptable.

I personally would like to see more variance in the formulas but I understand both sides. So what I would like to see in a game is that the formulas all have an random die-roll in every formula, but a game switch of some sort which can run the game with the randoms set from zero to devestating as a choice at game-start.
