oh gosh, I didn't noticed the poll was closed.. mmm anyway I would have voted a yes. The
statistically difficult would not increase. Just to make a numeric example for the ones who still hadn't get it.
Let's assume that we statistically
lose 1 squad per encounter, based obviously on the features of the units in a specific tournament
:
4 encounter mode (i.e. 100 units per squad)
:
1st encounter: 1 squad = 100 units lost
2nd encounter: 1 squad = 100 units lost
3rd encounter: 1 squad = 100 units lost
4th encounter: 1 squad = 100 units lost
total lost = 400 units
1 encounter mode (proportional change to 400 units per squad):
1 single encounter: 1 squad = 400 units lost
total lost = still 400 units
This is true if we compare the two modes in an only fight strategy, and the same result would be in an only catering strategy.
But if we want, in a 4 enc. mode, make 2 fighting and 2 catering or 1 fighting and 3 catering and so on, the outcome of goods/units losses would be different between the two modes (the 1 enc. mode would offer a single global possibility), and so the two tota losses would be incomparable.
Now I would suggest, if it's possible, to make this reduction
Optional, just because there is a reduction in tactical choices.
I think this change is a very good idea but should be an option for every province, maybe selectable through a check ("reducing" or something like this) for each province in the main window of the tournament.
