I am a lv5 Barbarian. Here is a no arts battle with an elf. The elf is of racial level 3 and I have racial level 3. I don't know why both druids and elven bowman shot before my orcs. Maybe administrators should tell us what on earth determines the order.

| it happens sometimes, the first ini order is based partly on luck ( I think about +- 0.5 ini points) I had my succubi with ini 10.4 acting after all heroes (ini 10) once for example. |
'The pre-combat positioning of units on the bar happens with a random deviation of 0% to 10%.'

At the begining of the battle:
units with ini 11 can act after some units even with 10.1 ini.
And units with ini 11 can act before some units even with 11.9 ini.
That were some examples according to the rule.
As for me - some times units with 18.1 ini have their tern after units with 17.0 ini. Strange? )) |

yes, your unit have to have +10% ini to guarantee itself earlier movement.
the nonsense here is that this "random" deviation stays from the beginning of the battle to the very end... which does not make it so random indeed. i haven't seen such thing in all my gaming experience. it will be way better/normal if it recalculates after every turn (hero move).
for anybody who will oppose this - let us imagine a hero's ranged unit which have "only" +9% initiation compared to opponent hero's ranged unit, or in other words, first hero's unit is 90% close to it's guaranteed first move. but in the beginning of the battle the supreme and brilliant pre-combat positioning system decides that second hero's unit will shoot first. (10% chance for this, the same as when you have +1 luck and it befalls you). so would you tell us, dear developers, in this case, what good are these +9 ini arts the first hero wears for?!? not that i expect an answer. |
This is also on of the main reasons that i dont do duels / group battles
First you do your hard best to get that extra % of initiative, and then you see that the other shoots first and you lose.... |
