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

The more I think about the more I'm sure I want, complex formulas and know the formulas. By complex I mean with several variables, as it seems to enhances the possibilities one has to do something.
For the formulas, it is a problem of decision, especially in a MP, my first thought was you absolutely need to know wich variables occurs in the formula, then I see that it wasn't enough, if the first is take half, and the second exponentialy, every one schould seek to maximize the second, so you need to know how they are bound in the formula, but then, you know the formula. I think in every process where the player has to take decision, he should have the formula, to be sure that what he will do make at least sense.
