Excellent news. :)

Re: Update - version
 

I note the new update has changed how the AI sets up the forces in the standard Mk. III attacks scenario. It is harder to beat now.

Re: Update - version
 

Yes, we've done some work on the AI. It's getting smarter... You've been warned... ;)

Re: Update - version
 

Now if the dice roller would get fixed. I'm still consistently getting low numbers, while the AI gets sixes on 1 to 2 hits.

One recent example. One Ogre MB and four SB, all eight AP. I got one D in seven shots. The AI takes over and gets five sixes and two fives, in ten shots at treads.

Re: Update - version
 

So it's accurately simulating the custom Ogre dice.

Re: Update - version
 

I've given up every scenario except the Mk. III attack. Example, Ogre Duel. I arrange it so I get first shot from movement. I shoot two missiles paired, so 4 to 1 odds, at three enemy SB. All are NE, repeatedly. AI Ogre moves in range, six missiles at weapons, I'm defanged in one go.

Re: Update - version
 

You are just consistently unlucky. I am not seeing the same thing. The dice are streaky, but even over time.

Keep sending game logs; maybe there's some weird edge case where it's broken just for you. I'm not joking about that, your environment might have something weird in it.

Re: Update - version
 

yeah, we'll see about that. ;-)

Re: Update - version
 

I got the coder who did that to run me though it and make sure the random seed was being re-set each time and it is. I'll triple check though!
