  1. Fair comment, academic literature reviews do tend to be heavy going. I just didn't want to quote the 80-90% without evidence. Here's the short summary: Errors in spreadsheets are inevitable. The most common errors include invalid or missing input data, cell references to the wrong range, etc. Anyone who uses Excel regularly has seen those. I work in a major international bank, Excel spreadsheets are my bread-and-butter and it scares the life out of me. Creating a `robust' spreadsheet would require going through a full software development cycle including up-front specs/design and full documentation. No one, ever, anywhere, creates spreadsheets that way. But they rely on the results in the exact same way as if they had done.

  5. Despite the wording, to hit chance for spells is governed by battle magic + spellcraft + spell ability level. Minus the monsters dodge chance. However, spells cast by items (such as icy crystals, fiery wands) do have their to-hit chance governed by missile weapons skill. That % does actually represent the to-hit chance. For some value of represent.

  7. Granted that GF2 did not include enhancement of ordinary items. However, there are at least three artifacts in GF2: Emerald Chestguard, Creator Belt and Infiltrator Ring. The artifacts required unique ingredients (purified essence, deep focus orb, etc) and as such were clearly the precursors of the artifacts in GF3/4. (Micawber) Edit: correct ingredients!
