Re: Special Ops Probability Factor

Does anybody know what the percentage of this is? I am only curious because I sometimes have a short streak of failures when opping opponents that I am sure I have a superior force against.

I usually get about 6 of 7 hard spells out on average. Is it a fixed variable percentage of success or fail, and does the value of it shift given some set of circumstances?

Thanks,

Re: Special Ops Probability Factor

Question:     What determines the success of my agent operations / magic spells?
Answer:     Basically the amount of agents/wizzies you have, the amount of agents/wizzies your opponent has and both your NW's.
Also with magic both the magic race bonuses count.
When you op/spell someone with a bigger NW than you it will be about sheer number of agents/wizzies.
When you op/spell someone with a lower NW than you it will be about amount of agents/wizzies per NW.
Also note that with both the actions there's a probability factor as well.
So even if you have a lot more wizzies/agents than your opponent you can still fail due to bad luck!

Re: Special Ops Probability Factor

Yes, I am aware of the FAQ.

My question is about this:

"Also note that with both the actions there's a probability factor as well."

What is the value of this factor and how is it determined? Is it just a random roulette that changes each time a spell is cast? Or is there a determining factor that sets a percentage of success that can be modified given a set of circumstances?

Re: Special Ops Probability Factor

Its a percent chance of success. The exact values are hidden. The only thing in your control is your agent/wiz count, opponent's agent/wiz count and both of your NWs.

Re: Special Ops Probability Factor

So basically, only a few people know and nobody will ever tell.

Got it.

I hated this guy at the start, however, I played a round in PW with him where he went as an anonymous player. Our fam got smashed up and everyone pretty much left. Arby stayed around and helped out the remaining family. At the end of the round he revealed himself.... My views on him have changed since. Your a good guy.....
