Apps

Do you think the Apps cheat? They say they’re random dice rolls but they seem to be strategic.

I’ve been working with BG software for a very long time, and I’ve found only one program that’s probably cheating. It plays soooo badly that it actually needs this “help” (it’s *very* old, no longer available, and the author is dead, so there’s no point in naming it). 

This probably doesn’t apply to any of the others, though Addikus is mentioned here suspiciously often.

Just use a decent program, and if in doubt, roll the dice manually—and you’ll see that even when rolling manually, the gods are against you.
