unusual combat prediction

Post by cranston »

My samurai unit appears to enjoy tremendous advantage, but why is my chances of winning so low?

The calculation needed to estimate the Win:Draw:Lose chances from the combat logic is quite complicated - it does this by dummy-running the combat 1000 times and counting the number of wins, draws and losses. It would adversely affect performance if the Win:Draw:Loss chances were constantly recalculated. The program therefore only recalculates the chances when the selected unit changes. This works fine most of the time, but it does throw up the occasional anomaly when the situation has changed but the selected unit hasn't. This is only a display anomaly, the actual combat results do not depend on the displayed estimate but are directly based on the POAs etc. If you see anything like this, you can force the displayed chances to be recalculated by selecting another unit and then re-selecting the original unit.
