    Now, that I would believe. Though, I now am more curious than ever, what in the name of all that is good made someone at BB say, "HEY! That BF issue is HUGE and players are maxing out their generals for that skill, so they might be abusing our system, we cannot have that!!! We must do something about that!" Especially with other REAL stuff that is broken, crippled. Priorities are so odd.

    The resolution is actually quite simple. Use/make a RNG that actually works within the numbers given. Yes, there can always be deviations beyond 1, even occasional 2 standard deviations, but when many, many people have EXTREME deviations, well... it is not working. The fact that a maximum 'tries' function had to be implemented shows that they know (and can see) it. When I was in school for various programming classes, almost every language I studied involved the design of a RNG, it can be done.

    Besides, it is in human nature to complain!

    I am just happier than a pig in ... that my explorers and geologists will grey out when I send them again! Yippie!

    Also apparently this update broke the French server. Better luck to us!
    One army. Pretty please.

    "Guaranteed Manuscript, Tome and Codex recipe:
    The Manuscript, Tome and Codex recipe will be guaranteed after a certain amount of tries. Past tries will be taken into account towards the guarantee."

    is it under 20?

    Wouldn't it be nice to have a bunch of people suddenly come forward and know on which attempt they are? Dreams dreams dreams.... /sings

    I have a sneaking suspicion that BB knows the numbers. It is very unlikely, based on personal experience, that they would take some players word for the difficulty and then map out a strategy to implement the coming patch.

    Yeah, I think BB keeps track of pretty much everything. Have you ever noticed that when you delete history from TO it keeps going back in time? I've got entries showing up from 4/20, two months ago, and I'm gonna keep deleting a few entries here and there just to see how far back it goes. Why keep all that stuff?? Cause they probably keep everything just for GP and/or the dreaded rollback / if it's ever necessary to rebuild people accounts.

    From the standpoint of trying to keep a game running, it is not that unreasonable. Generally, players find problems in the game fairly quickly, regardless of the positive or negative effect on gameplay. The difference is that when there is a negative effect, players will naturally avoid the problem, which tends to minimize the overall effect. When there is a positive effect, it tends to be done more, maximizing the issue. This causes more imbalances as people who are able to take advantage of the effect do so while others cannot. If it is not a game critical issue, i.e. actually prevents people from playing at all, they will address problems with the greatest impact.
