Single round battle #209

Closed Tantali closed 6 years ago

Tantali commented 6 years ago

This is my draft suggestion for the single-round combat. I'm still thinking of another one, but this is already a possibility.

No wounded concept anymore, but just numbers on a dice (currently called 'military power', but can be anything). Battle results are still pretty much the same (I can give graphs for comparison if you'd like). Currently artillery are a bit more powerful in normal combat and infantry a little less powerful in trench combat (making e.g. 2 infantry + 1 artillery versus 2 units a 50/50 chance instead of guaranteed win) I'll see if I can tweak a bit to fix that.

Edit: woops, found a bug in my script, so one less mismatch to fix

Oh, and interesting to note as well, this version only requires 2 different type of dice. In trench warfare, it's still the same dice, and you don't need to ignore anything on them.

Tantali commented 6 years ago

Fixed the other mismatch as well, so now the probabilities for winning (and unit loss) should be very close to the original. The slight differences that are still present seem reasonable to me or even an improvement.

I chose the master branch because this is pretty close to being just a wording change, even though it doesn't look like it.

It may be a wording change, but it could also make it easier of harder to calculate the probabilities.
