Default Re: Countering Master Enslave...

Did I just happen to pick the only three random factors in the game? Surely you can think of some more--I can. Dominions is intentionally probabilistic. I just think it's odd to see a player of a probabilistic wargame arguing that there's a irreconciliable tension between random elements and strategy and that wholly random elements ruin the game. I can understand why people play e.g. Low-luck Axis and Allies, but I can't imagine such people playing a game which is INTENTIONALLY set up so that a lowly slinger can kill a Tartarian with the right DRN roll.
