Taking on the odds

Of course, I completely forgot about Archmages and their magic shield...and I already have lvl 2 stone skin.

And of course, magic shield is one of those medal award requirements...silly me, I was expecting to find that spell.

How come with over 50% of critical chance on almost all your units, critical strikes rarely happen, Sea Dogs will far more frequently dodge attack with their 20% evasion than I will score critical strike with over 50% chance?

Because 50% critical doesn't mean 1 in 2. It's 50% for each attack, so it may either happen or not. It's all about luck. In some cases 50% may mean 1 in 5, or even more.

Well it should state 20% Why is the game trying to rewrite percentages lol

100% should mean just that, if a creature has a 50% chance of dodge then it should dodge every other attack.

Simple

Well, 100% crit means always crit. For example, with 2 magess dresses, my archmagi do just that - crit on every hit.

However, the percentages of evasion are based on 2 things: what happened in the previous attack and what will happen on this one. If on the previous attack the unit has evaded (even a retaliation), the 20-30% chance is active for this attack. Sadly, in KBAP, this sometimes means a bit too often. Still, it is also a bit too often for you as well if you use those units.

So we can't complain I guess Although it is both irritating and frustrating when the AI decides to give you some really hard time evading almost every second attack.

What are you talking about? It's random, it isn't 'too often' unless you mean for your personal preference. 1 chance in 5 still happens three times in a row one in every 125th try.

If anything I think they have pulled a HommV and made it so there are never consequetive dodges, meaning things dodge less than they say they do.
