In that game, when you recruited a particular mage, you would get a random magic field associated with him. The number of possible magic fields was 6. During several games were I recruited anywhere from 8-12 mages in a row, I would get really screwy results (IMO). One game I would get 8 mages with the same magic field, in a row! then the next few in another field. Or, I would get 3 fields out of the 6. It seemed that the lowest probabbility was getting 1 represntative of each magic path from 12 plus mages, as it never happened. This went on for about a year of play time.

You say you had equal probability to get one from 6 different kinds each time? Rolling Eyes

The probability that you get all 6 sorts at least once with 12 tries must be about 49%.
Particular mage distribution algorithm in that game was indeed not a random with equal distribution but something else. Something affected there what mages you get. Nod

Described unfair random generators are quite commonly used among game developers to create amusement (or grief) for various "scummers" and "stat hunters". Laughing

I have never noticed something like this with stars! universe generator however. Very Happy

I mean if you take 1 in 4 hab JOAT, edit its initial scouts to see all universe and generate 40 universes then at least in one you get 3 or less greens among 30 closest planets and in at least one you get 12 or more greens. But the majority like i said is between 6 and 9. Probability theory claims same so i find no correlation there.
