RNG is a big sore spot for gamers everywhere, it doesn't feel great, takes away control, and can be seen as a quick and easy way to get out of making levels yourself - but Randomness is actually crucial to many of our favourite genres.
The Architect might have a cough (FOR NORMAL REASONS PROBABLY) but that's not going to stop them from getting to the bottom of how the oft-misunderstood art of creating chaos can make games more fun, tactical, and even more balanced!
