Well nothing's really random ina computer, you're just running the same 'rand' on the same seed and getting the same result. If I remember correctly, SE IV doens't refresh its seed from the clock while the game is running.

In fact, I think the seed is saved along with the game, or something like that . . .

Now how would I have thought that, where would I have found that out, why the bleep would I think I know that? I don't recall.

Anyway, does anyone know about the One Weapon To-Hit Bonus on Units, especially Troops in ground combat?

How aboutthe effect of the special ability on the Small Time Distortion Burst?

And the Shield skipping ability of the Small PPB?

And the Armor skipping ability of the Small Shard Cannon?
