'random' heroes my ar..

Post by hugh2711 »

The heroes are supposed to be at random but i have always suspected otherwise due to they tend to come in batches of the same thing (interspersed with the odd spotting grrrrr) but now I am absolutely certain. I am just going through afrika corps and I have now got TWO double range +1 wurfrahman. Not just one range plus one but TWO range plus two (addition of two seperate range +1's). that cant be right. Thats too improbable.

Assuming there are five possible hero types for artillery and them all having an equal chance each time, gives us a 4% chance that an artillery unit has exactly two heroes that are ranged. Lucky, but not too crazy :D

1/5 x 1/5 = 1/25 (or 4%)

To add to that

1/25 * 1/25 because 2 super-range artillery gives 1/625, or 0,16%. Not impossible, just a rare fluke. Nothing wrong with that though.
