Yours and Anders' will both fail with larger numbers, mine won't. You can definitely do battle-splitting and terrain bonus in the Picard formula, rhough Why would mine fail with larger numbers??? |

I would simply defined success in handling larger numbers as in scalability, whether if a formula can adjust for the scale of larger and larger numbers but still gives a person almost the same tilt each time. A good example question would be "if kept to a ratio of 4:3, but increase the scale from 12 to 20, or even to 48, would it still give reasonable numbers in the end?"
I understand that some factors would increase slightly or decrease as bigger and bigger numbers are poured into a formula as deliberate weights in favor of this or that, etc. Long as the results are still reasonable (but variable is fine within reason), then the formula has scalability.
The Picard system is a formula that directly handles scalability because it works with the ratio of power between the attacker and the defender.

Also to point out one thing about the ratio math, etc
The part where (Def-Atk)/Atk shows up in the Picard system is a very familiar component in Algebra and Chemistry courses in high school. If you look for the percentage change from an old value and a new value of something (like temperature, or price of gold, etc etc etc). You would find this formula (New_Value-Old_Value)/Old_Value. It gives you the ratio of how far the number moved up or down in comparison to where it was.

Why would mine fail with larger numbers??? Defender-attacker+7 can get too high for dice rolls with numbers like 40 vs 30 For that to happen there needs to be 120vs90 |
