Re: Formulae of Victory
Hey, I never made a formula! Had I done so, luck would have been an exponential factor or something.  |

Luck has nothing to do with my success. Luck is only a factor when the other guys beat me.

Re: Formulae of Victory
Luck doesn't go exponential; only bad luck...

Re: Formulae of Victory
Luck is quite a strong force IMO, especially in the early game. Your placement and minor factors any mid-late game emprie could absorb easily are very powerful at this stage.

Re: Formulae of Victory
Seriuosly though if I believed luck played a big part in this game, I wouldn't play it. Luck is random. Every game has a bunch of little coin flips that can have small effects on the game. A bad bounce here, a good one there. They both happen to everybody mroe or less equally. The skill comes in dealing with the bad ones, and taking advantage of the good ones. The player that does that better wins. The player that doesn't complains about his bad luck.

Re: Formulae of Victory
I wasn't saying that is unbalancing or all bad (as the events are) however, it is definitly there and you have to deal with it.
