I think games with random probabilities can be just as good, however, but it is something that has to be carefully though about and must mesh with the rest of the gameplay. For instance, I think the randomness in XCOM makes the game better, as many of the game’s most engaging moments happen when you suddenly make that lucky shot that gets you out of a seemingly impossible situation, or a sneaky alien suddenly manages to taker out your only sniper, forcing you to rethink your tactics. I think randomness can too easily be used as a crutch for gameplay that is not properly balanced, though, and think more TBS games should consider not using random number generators for things like accuracy.

However, for my game example I intend to include randomness as the current toolkit does not use randomness at all, and as such I can show users how to set this up. It should be easier for users to remove the random systems from the example than it would be to add their own.

Yeah, it is very important to think carefully about the amount of randomess in a turn based game. I think in Sword of the Stars: The Pit the randomness is too high and the game can be frustrating. The Banner Saga or Invisible, Inc. are great turn based games without randomness and the player can learn from his mistakes.

I think your approach is very good and i am looking forward to see more of your Advanced Turn Based Tile Toolkit.
