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

Well, Bummer_Duck, you have to do larger scale tests to get any significance out of your test, like I said earlier about the likelyhood of a couple getting 4 girls and no boys, the likelyhood of getting a couple blood mages in a row is not that remote. The likely hood of getting 6 blood mages in a row is, however, quite remote .125^6=.00038%. Significance increase markedly for the first several units sampled, so you need a significant number of mages to make any judgement. If that doesn't suit your fancy, try hiring 20 mages after starting 10 new games and draw your results from there.

Even after 200 units 4 paths are very likely to have a "majority" of the picks, 2-3, however, are not.
