Rman On Modeling "Effective Courage"

• But one thing that all this has caused me to consider is this:

• HOW to model the typical Rookie psychology under fire.

• The Rookie status is the baseline. It has to work at that level or the player will not accept anything that follows.

• The continuum I'm mulling over would be based on damage taken per click.

• More damage per click = Recklessness

• Less damage per click = Effective Courage

• So what I'm getting at is that we should consider this in the equation as we do a unit's offensive success.

• Let's call it: Effective Courage Boost

• If a unit causes more damage than it suffers in an engagment it should qualify for the boons of experience & rising rank...

• In a 1ts time firefight the psychology of a "Rookie will run the gamut from petrified to reckless response to effective courage.

• The only way I can think of modeling this is thru that comparative damage metric.

• Any thoughts ?
