Search Results: the game

To simplify things, I've been doing it with moving onto the target space. Previously, I wanted to make it so units attack with real Range mechanics, except intentionally melee units. What would you do?

The game is set in the near future, so mostly modern technology.

Implementing Range allows me to have Attacks of Opportunity for Defender's Advantage, and Rolling Retreat for Defender's Advantage. I think both should be researched at the Academy to prevent them from being too powerful early on.

Could Michael Jordan and the Bulls have won 8 championships? 10 Maybe?

Of course, there are no guarantees, but...

For people who are not old enough to remember Jordan playing Live, Statistically on a per-game basis Michael Jordan was either equally good to LeBron or else significantly better than LeBron James in every individual stat.

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?
