Personaly I think it's boring as hell when you have all these equations for everything that happens in a game. Playing becomes like a math lesson. No, keep things obscure and make players rely on their feel of things.
Of course you need equations to drive the mechanisms of the game, but don't reveal those equations to the players and make them so they can't be extracted precisely.

NO equation stays obscure for long. In Dominions 2 they very much wanted players to discover what does and doesnt work, but in the forum players are always working out the formulas. Of course you can do what they did and have at least one die roll in the formula. Personally I find a formula without some bit of random to be boring, AND abit unrealistic.
But of course you will get into the solo-players (more randoms) vs multi-players (less randoms) arguments so a switch to run a game with randoms turned off might be a good idea.
