I understand the general concept about initiative but in the current event a question rose.
I have recruited some rocs and some warlords. In battle, rocs had 13.2 initiative and warlords 13.1. I expected rocs to be first but instead warlords got their turn right before them. Why did this happen? |
At initiative bar`s start we have spread - 10 "meters".
If u want be first at UNIT1 vs. UNIT2 (enemy or 2nd stack), u need: UNIT1 > UNIT2 * 0.9 |
| It's still not clear to me :/ |
Every unit only at the start of combat can have a deviation in his iticiative for randomness purposes.
ie: if you have a unit with 10 init , at the start can have 10 + 0% to 10 + 10% if lucky.
So a unit A with 10,9 and bad luck can have 10,9 + 0% = 10,9 ini
and a unit B with good luck and 10 init can have 10 + 10% = 11 ini and his first tun come earlier than A
This is only the 1st turn,next turn iniciative will come as expected where faster units (more cummulated ini) come earlier |

sometimes if the ini of the troops are similar, there will always some troops go first even the one with lower ini
unless ur talking about 13.2 with 14.2 , so clearly 14.2 will go first |

Can't a creature with 13.2 initiative go first? Since the deviation is 0-10% and assuming 13.2 gets the whole 10% (making it 14.5) and creature B with 0% deviation, staying 14.2. |
for WoodBox:
Now I see. I didn't know about the whole deviation thing. That's what leninisback meant. Thanks for the help! |

Yes, indeed. To be precise, I believe that the deviation can either be starting 5% "behind" or "ahead" if considering Arctic's exemple of a race which gives even slightly different resuslts in the most extreme situations. |
No.
As Woodbox said, it's +0% to +10%. No negative deviation. |
