Very serious combat bug?

Also, don't forget thet fatigue increases at triple levels when your pretender has a name that starts with an F, B, M or Q. This might lead the Fire King to have enough fatigue to have his protection value halved. There is also a chance that The armor is negated if the sum of the attack skills during one turn is less than the sum of the alphabetical positions of the units name. Hence it is all pretty obvious it was not just bad luck, but an expected outcome of the battle.

I have never previously encountered a reference to an alphabetical relationship to any skill or game factor. (Maybe I have't read the manual closely enough.) Please explain.
Also, does the alphabetical relationship apply to the unit name i.e "Fire King" or the units individual name? And if it is the individual name, if I change the units name will that work?

You reference letters with negative connotations, are thee letters with positive influences?

Or are you just pulling my leg?

The latter. Wherever it is that you got your sarcasm detector, go there and get a refund. The thing is obviously broken.

OUCH. GOT ME. Now I know why I didn't get a Noble prize again this year, extending my steak to 56 consecutive years.

Actually this game has so many enjoyable quirks that it would not be a major surprise to find out that there was an alphabetical surprise hidden in the code.

I've gotten a Hall of Fame hero awarded the "Dumbass" medal and once had a hero that gave his troops leprosy. I think the only thing I haven't encountered (yet) is a female commander who gives the clap to her troops.

You've never had the Scabrella event?

I have. I think it was in 1979 in Atlanta. Took 4 rounds of penicillin before I was able to rid myself of the memento.
