Ok, I was originally going to post something that might be inflammatory. I've decided against that. So I'll sum up and try to avoid a flame war.
"But then, I don't mind the occasional unbelievable result - if I knew ahead of time how everything ended, I wouldn't waste my time playing."
These type of quotes are a little confusing to me. I for one want predictable results, if everytime I attack with a Modern Armor it's up to the whims of fate if I beat a Pikeman, then I can no longer count on overwhelming military might to win battles. If that was the case, then I should never bother to build anything other than Warriors as fate would dictate they win as often as the Modern Armors.
Oh well, it just seems to me that the reason we as a race develop technology is to remove uncertainty. Of course no technology will ever completely remove uncertainty, but that's completely obvious.
