I'm fairly certain Battle for Wesnoth does this and it just made the game frustrating for me when very low probability events occurred. Probability doesn't scale mentally that way. I mean, I have a degree in Mathematics, and I know what this means. I still didn't like it happening.


Battle of Wesnoth probabilities are often frustating, yeah, but at least it teaches a lesson of independent random events and proper perception of probabilities.
