*Yes, there is such a feeling. Someone said the scientist/shaman had a higher search rate -- without any supporting evidence, but we have no evidence against either. There were complaints & suggestions that the villager/settler was dominated by other character types, and should start with some advantage such as a higher search rate. By and large Simon appears to be implementing changes behind the scenes as fast as we can suggest them, so it is natural to suspect that starting Settler-0 has a higher search rate than Soldier, Pirate, et al.

Search Odds: Tables, Condensed Lists?

Search Odds: Using Tables vs Condensed Lists

Since we now have a pile of data, the items to list in a search odds table for each specialized location are known. My request for comments about using tables is the first section of Talk:Search odds condensed. Thanks, Tycho44 20:26, 31 May 2006 (BST)
