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.

A geneforge wiki has already been started. It didn't get very far though...

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.

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.

Edit: correct ingredients!
