Default Re: Viscious Circle 3

I agree that was weird. The phenomenon has been discussed in a couple threads on the main forum.

My guess is, suppose the version of CBM I (and presumably you too) have installed is very slightly different from what is on llamaserver. Because the way battles work is that it re-runs the battle using the same seed for the random number generator, even a tiny change could make a battle take a completely different course: if something happened slightly differently early on, all of the dice rolls might get shifted so that a really bad defense roll turns into a really bad attack roll, etc.

The other question is, how did that fight come out in my favor. Without being able to see the battle video it is impossible to even speculate. All I can say is that I have seen some really wacky battle videos. I think I might have posted in this thread about my assault on Tir Na Nog's capital fortress, where a zillion spells were flying back and forth, troops on both sides dying in droves everywhere, and after 20-30 turns one or two of TNNs mages who were not fatigued out won the day by casting frozen heart on my thugs, who happened to have no cold resistance (or perhaps only 50% cold resistance).
