Default Re: Random Magic Paths - is it truly random?

You reasoning is invalid BigDaddy. Johan Osterman already posted that Dominions II uses a pregenerated random number table. That means it's random number generator works exactly the same in any computer with any OS. If it didn't the battle replays wouldn't work.

I have still a question though:
How is the seed for a new turn generation chosen?
The normal way is to take it from the clock or something. That is the only place I could think that could somehow affect the randomness of picks (very unlikely).
