Attack 1.3.0
A fellow game developer once told me to view randomness as stacked dice; the more random, the higher the stack. I have also played a lot of Warhammer, chess, and some massively multiplayer online games. The first often wins or loses due to randoms; the latter wins or loses due to tactics or being undergeared or not. These factors made me consider avoiding randomness, yet I implemented random damage from charges and rushing impacts into IoM. This has now been remedied, as the randomness is now changed into strictly defined numbers, as seen below, with actual values displayed in each army list:
Impact hits (x, y); x = amount, y = AIM bonus.
Stomp attacks (x,y), where x = amount and y = AIM bonus
Grind attacks (x,y), where x = amount and y = AIM bonus
Sweeping attacks (x,y), where x = amount and y = AIM bonus
Charge bonus (x,y), x = amount, y = AIM bonus
Multiple hits (x)
Multiple wounds (x)
Attack 1.4.0
Rolling a 1 is automatic faliure.
Excess AIM gives additional wounds.
