When you watched Lord of the Rings did you sit there thinking "No problme Gandalf, you've got your sword +5 vs Fire Demons and that wimpy Balrog only has 2 Magic Resistance. You've got a 65.5% chance of winning this fight even without a +3 shiled!"?
Yeah, I don't care for stats of movie characters; I *do* care for unit stats in a strategy game.
They are nearly as useful as the game rules themselves, and without them the "strategy" becomes "blind guessing about how it works", plain boring...
