For the Royal Griffin it's doing a possibility of 20-30 damage, so it may do 27 points of damage or it may do 22, like rolling a dice. Each time a battle is played over the damages should come out random. This is how I thought. But it's seeming to be otherwise.

Occasionally it does have a different figure. That Red Dragon exact same damage figure and always a crit, after many replays it did eventually not do a critical hit on the move where it always did the same before. So it's not a fixed thing either.

It's as if the possibility of something happening is narrowed down to an almost guaranteed response based on everything that's happened in the game up till that point or something. It's like once the battle starts so many factors are already decided with very little room for other possibilities. Like how almost everything in the whole game is decided right at the start after you create the hero. It's like once the battle starts it calculates, ok if this unit attacks this unit then this will be the result, done stored in memory, if that move takes place, played back from memory what was already decided.

Also, the figures for damage in that set look like totally random figures. They aren't rounded or consistent multiples of 5 or anything. When he does his full damage attack it's a very different number in the 8-900 range each time, same for the retaliations. So it seems like it's rolling a dice somewhere.

Also the possibility of a critical hit for a unit may be 11%. But when the battle is replayed over and over the first blow is always a critical hit, so how can it always make that 11% every time. Almost every time. Often enough that it's not just an 11% chance that's factoring it.
