I noticed that all the battles in Civ III seem to have predetermined outcomes!
What does that mean? Try this:
Save the game during a battle
Load the saved game
Play a turn and engage in a battle with your opponent
Look at the results: (hypothetical) unit x was killed, unit y has only two HPs left, opponent a has only 1 HP, opponent b is dead.
Now load the game again and replay the turn.
The result is exactly the same!!
I suppose this is supposed to prevent someone from restarting the game if they didn't like how their last turn went, but how can you compare the performance of new units if the battles always end the same?
I thought probability was supposed to be at work?
