Re: Grand Campaign Unit Revisions (GC45West, Mar 4 2013)

I currently play with the new rules but I don't mind playing with the 1.14 rules either, so no problem there.
Thanks.

Re: Grand Campaign Unit Revisions (GC45West, Mar 4 2013)

Wow, this is some work. Great job deducter! So, if I understand correctly this mod does not work with the latest Panzer Corps update (1.22). Can anyone verify this? It works, the problem is rather balance issues with some of the rules in 1.20+ versions, than any technical problem. So If I select th...

The problem is that any conbat has a chance of 10 hits for either side so showing the max hits would always be the same - 10. The chance of getting the predicted results is very low because its one possible out come of 121. While it is the most likely single outcome, the number of other possible ou...

Thats a bit subjective! I don't think it works how you think it works. If you wanted you could ask a specific question and get a % answer, but you need a very specific question. E.g. do you want to know the chance of your casualty prediction being correct? Do you want to know the chance it is withi...

Good explanation - It is all working as intended as we have said a number of times and we do not plan to change it as the results would dramatically change the way the game plays. Probabilty is a strange thing. If you have a 10% chance of something happening, and you try 5 times what is your chance...

Re: re: randomness

Do players actually understand how much variance can be mathmatically expected? For example let's say unit x has a 10% chance of killing unit y. If we performed this combat 50 times we would expect unit x to win 5 times. Using random numbers to model this we probably won't get unit x to win exactly...

The predictor is not broken - it gives a true estimate with the info you have available if you understand what it is showing. It is an average. It does not show you the spread of possible results with the chance of each - it only shows the average if you tried the fight 1000 times. A 1-1 result cou...

What I suggested would achieve what you want. Use 1 combat dice, and you get the same result as the game currently yields. If you took that average of 2 rolls, then you'll get unexpected results slightly less commonly. Average 4 dice and you'll get outlier results considerably less often (but it is...

vasiliak, I think you're asking for something like I suggested here: http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=294763#294763 That is, averaging of the combat dice. Well actually no. What I am saying is to have 2 different ways of evaluating combat results. The first (the current one) allows f...

Since this issue seems to concern a lot of people (me included, although not so much) I am wondering if there could be an option specifying whether the deviation from the predicted values is smaller or larger. If this does not involve big changes with regards to development then perhaps it could be ...

I am also in favor of adding this feature to the game and even though I agree it is not a primary concern I wouldn't rate it as low priority. I believe (and this is my opinion of course) that when you are low on prestige ( pretty much all the time :) ) you want to able to control how many replacemen...

By the way, I am viewing the screenshots with an LG monitor now (LG E2260) and have the same issue with the original FoW png file.
It's a bit clearer, I admit, compared to the Samsung, but only a little bit.

Well, all I can suggest is to download this file: http://www.rudankort.me/smoothFoW.png and try to place it in your game's Graphics/Overlays subfolder (it will overwrite existing file, I recommend to backup it before overwriting). I darkened this file, compared to the original version. This might h...

This issue might also be related to how your monitor shows colors. Will it improve if you tweak brightness/contrast settings? Anybody else experiencing this problem? I have tried several different settings of brightness and contrast. Very difficult to discern the fog in every setting. Honestly if y...

Hmm... Not sure I understand you. Looks at this screenshot for example: http://slitherine.com/screenshots/original/game_1308131268.jpg Don't you see darker fog of war (e. g. in the right part of the map)? I can see the fog now that you point it out but I have a really hard time identifying every he...

Values shown in unit stats should work as shown, unless there is rain or snow (in which case spotting range is divided by 2). Planes also lose some spotting range in cloudy weather. I'm not sure why you are not sure if there can be an ambush in a given hex or not, because the game clearly displays ...

Problems with spotting

Hello all. First things first: great game! Long time in waiting for it too... :wink: So congrats to the developers and publisher. To my current issue now. I have a lot of problems with scouting and spotting in general. The spotting values shown in the unit stats do not seem to reflect the actual spo...
