Slitherine

Counting on the Slitherine staff, or anyone knowledgeable about the workings of this game to maybe pipe up on this one. Can you tell me what files I could access in the game to change the combat results to something more mellow. Not being insulting to the developers, but some, scratch that, most of the combat results are way too random. I recall a much earlier version of FOG1I played, that produced combat results that seemed in line with what one would expect from battles. Really wish the devs would answer me on this one as the latest version of this venerable game is no longer enjoyable.
Thanks in advance.
