Astérix Speedrunning: xxl2

nekin

when i practice i start from a new game then i go at the start of Venicia and back into Lutecia to get to shields then back to Venicia again and somehow the second door look like this when i do that x)

nekin

different copy of the game kind of meme right :obelul:

failentin

yuppp

adrientd

Yeah, I haven't looked much into that part, but indeed it won't select Romans with non-full health

adrientd

I guess trying to prevent x10 multiplier with low health could be useful in the case when there is a fight zone that has a very high probability of spawning x10 compared to the others. Not sure if there any.

failentin

I mean, x10 does seem extremely likely in the entrance area of WCW

failentin

that's the worst RNG part of the run usually

failentin

but if we're below three shields, the game can decide between gigot/shield/potion, wouldn't that always be worse odds than x10/potion?

failentin

I'm not so good in thinking in probabilities :samsniffer:

adrientd

Yup, usually it is

adrientd

As example, for WCW entrance, the probs are ``` Gigot 3 x10 Multipliers 2 Shield 1 Potion 1 ```

adrientd

With 6 entire shields, you would get 2/3 multipliers and 1/3 potion.

adrientd

With very low health, you would get 3/5 gigiot, 1/5 shield and 1/5 potion.

adrientd

So yeah, low health, depsite removing x10, is worse :obelul:

failentin

I see! That's interesting to know

failentin

I'm surprised about those odds, potion always seemed even less likely than 1/3 :obelul:

nekin

does the probs change when you get a bonus or not at all?

nekin

i agree feels like 10 or 5% sometimes x)

adrientd

From what I've seen, the probs are pretty much constant.

adrientd

The only things that change are the health that disables some bonuses (gigot/shield).
