	==~~Remainders~~==		==Analysis==

	~~In the event that the calculations do not come out evenly, the remainders will be randomed~~. ~~For example, if the formula determines that 12~~.8 armies should be killed, there is a 80% chance that the result will be rounded up to 13 and a 20% chance that the result will be rounded down to 12. For this reason, luck can never be totally removed from WarLight, but since it's only one army it's not too significant.		https://d32kaghj56y4ei.cloudfront.net/static/img/LuckGraphs.png

	Randoming remainders is important to WarLight since it prevents players from exploiting the system. If results were rounded instead, it would make micromanagement of your armies very beneficial which reduces the overall fun of the game. For example, it would be a waste to attack with 3 armies since it would have the same effect as attacking with 2 except it puts an additional army of yours at risk and takes that army away from other benefit. By randoming remainders, this makes every army beneficial and removes the need to micromanage.

	==~~Members~~==		==Remainders==

	~~WarLight [[members]] may use any luck percentage in~~ the ~~games they create~~, ~~however games created by non-members always have a 75% luck percentage unless they use a~~ [[~~built-in template~~]]~~.

In the event that the calculations do not come out evenly, the [[rounding mode]] will be used to determine how the result is rounded.
