So let's suppose that an army and a division show up at an unusual encounter.
Who gets first dibs on going after it? Is it the army, because it is bigger, and thus more intimidating?
Enquiring minds want to know.

It goes first to Draugr, then 50/50 after that.

Always enjoy a chuckle.  Yeah, the code says, "If Draugr, then select, else, randomize."

Brigades plus have advantage (go first) over patrols, after that, it is random.

It's random like any other order. Rick must be mistaken. Troops are not favored over others and I don't think the original first cycle games worked like that...

OK, I know what I wrote, but I don't know what is in the code.

That said, Uncle Mike has taken us beyond what I thought.  But this is not like Microsoft where there is a team looking over code vs. design.  Generally, I think Mike interprets my intentions pretty well.  I guess I am not to be completely trusted on how things work.  It's all cool though, I think we are all enjoying Alamaze.  Bring your friends!
