Die-Based Damage?

[Ice Bane]

Hello there everyone!

Does anyone happen to know whether die-based damage on units (like in Warcraft) will be available? Cause yet so far I haven't seen it.

Best regards, Ice_bane

As far as I am aware it hasn't been stated by Blizzard themselves. They have merely mentioned some features but they never went into anything specific trigger related beside mouse x/y detection and keyboard etc.

I hope they do a simple min - max damage, I dont get the point of a lame die based system.

because with multiple dice it weighs the damage towards the middle

Hmm, can you remember where from?

Yea never really thought about that... 1 dice with 100 sides, is just a random number between 0 and 99, whereas 25 4 sided dice, is almost guaranteed to average out around 50 damage, with the occasional 75, but rarely varrying beyond that.

The primary flaw i see in this system, is the inability to make extreemes more common than middle numbers.

A far better system would be a min to max, with a slide bar for chance
(on the left side, your more likely to either deal somewhere near minimum, or somewhere near maximum damage, with a greater chance to deal 'average' damage on the right)

Hopefully we have coding access to all of the core systems of the game.. that way we can code more integrated systems. Also everything ingame should be disableable XD
