Default Re: (OT) Do you prefer to know game formulas?

I would like to know the exact values (items, spells, abilities) and formulas, but I expect the formulas will be complex enough that you can never predict the exact numbers in the next turn. So, if I want I should be able to plan and build a commander with all the maximum morale boosting items and spells available, but still know that I cannot predict the exact value when combat happens due to dominion, heat, and other factors in the formula.

It is important to be able to learn from trial and error, and unless everyone is expected to put in lots o' hours with a combat simulator, the effects and formulas should be available to limit the number of variables in the 'trial' part.

Even after using Ember and the Sword of Many Colors, I can't quantify the damage/effect of the two. Thats annoying.
