Frogboy also said that harsher measures could be taken that would affect everyone.

The only question I've ever seen you ask, repeatedly, was how invasions worked and that question was answered over and over by users. The advantage factor is randomly rolled based on your technology level (versus theirs) and soldiering ability.

But why the advantage nubers are shown while we can't affect them anyway?

Maybe he just reads along from time to time and finds our babble as amusing as everyone else does.

They just tell you if it is more likely you will win or the dender based on the numbers..

Because it lets the player know there is a bit of luck involved. And I wanted it that way.

Incidentally, thanks to you, I am going to have per-country IP banning put in starting Monday. So for instance, I could ban everyone from Bulgaria from even seeing a Stardock site. Maybe we'll do it so that regions can be nulled (like Sofiya). So congratulations, you've given the IT team a new project...

its sort of like a chance ratio, like you have a chance of 8 of winning vs 10 which is the enemies chance of winning

its like a ratio of odds I guess. I'm not real sure about it either.

PSYCHO..... because they just ARE! deal with it, its to make you feel important or like the end result of the battle might turn out differently, it adds drama, like you were there and your troops might not make it. its just for effect..... now please... please....

its to give an idea of the odds and how they are stacked. I don't know why either, its just the way it is. some kind of balancing feature maybe.

Psycho, he gave you the best reason of all. Because he wants it that way. It is his game and his company therefore he has final say.
