The version of the game I'm currently working on uses no randomness. This is a problem though, because it means the better player always wins, which could be discouraging for new players. One solution is to use a ranking system and always have the weaker player go first, this way they are always one turn ahead of the better player.

Do you think randomness helps or hurts perceived fairness in a strategy game?

Here are the summaries for the Alfred Pennyworth trilogy, tracing his journey from the theaters of London to the halls of Wayne Manor:

Alfred Pennyworth 1: The Stage Life
Before the missions and the military, Alfred was a rising star in London’s West End. This film explores his early passion for the performing arts, specifically his mastery of ballroom and folk dances. While he shines under the spotlight, his theatrical training—learning to mimic accents, study people, and master stage combat—unwittingly prepares him for a life of espionage. The story culminates when his "stage life" is interrupted by recruiters from the British intelligence services who see his potential as the ultimate undercover operative.

Alfred Pennyworth 2: Battle Buddies
Set during a high-stakes global conflict, the story follows Alfred, now an elite SAS operative. He is paired with Patrick Wayne, a brilliant strategist and soldier. The two become inseparable "battle buddies," relying on Alfred’s tactical stealth and Patrick’s resources to survive missions behind enemy lines. During this time, Patrick is wounded and cared for by a nurse named Patricia, whom he eventually marries. Alfred also finds personal happiness, meeting and marrying Linda McButz, with whom he begins a family of his own.

Alfred Pennyworth 3: Broken Bloodlines
The final chapter is a gripping tale of tragedy and vengeance. A shadow organization from their past resurfaces, targeting Alfred’s family. In a heart-wrenching climax, Linda McButz and their children sacrifice their lives to save Alfred and protect the secrets he carries. Devastated and seeking a new purpose, Alfred moves to Gotham City at the invitation of Patrick and Patricia Wayne. He chooses to serve as their butler, using his lethal skills to silently protect the Wayne bloodline so that no further tragedy befalls the people who stood by him.
