IMHO the fundamental reason SP is still popular and played 20+ years after it was first released ( besides the fact we have updated it 52 times! ) is the random factors built into the game so it's not predicable.... There were a host of randoms built in when we got the code and we've added more and refined many that were there and left more than a few alone as well.
The game has never been " Do A then B to get C".....not a chance of that happening. In fact it's not the least bit ABnormal to save a turn....play it, reload the save, play it again and get a different result....ESPECIALLY after a re-boot when the game picks up new random numbers to use... NONE OF THAT IS A "BUG"...its the game....it has always been the way the game works---- there is always a chance of a " John Sedgwick" result just as there is always a chance that your dead-on-sure-thing shot will miss or fail to penetrate.....it's the unpredictability of results that keeps it from getting stale and NONE of it is the result of "bugs".......yes.... we do find bugs and when people report them we fix them but this one is NOT a bug. ( as BOTH Andy and I have said ) It's perfectly normal game behavior.
