I noticed random battle winnings had some large variations and just realized why. Repeating battles in the Coliseum results in winnings being reduced for that particular battle (1/2 for 2nd time, 1/3 for 3rd time, and so on) and this reduction carries over to the random battles, so for maximum winnings be sure the last fight you had in the Coliseum has a "1" by it indicating you fought once only. Repeating random battles will not result in reduced winnings, but the "reduce winnings variable" is set in the Coliseum and does affect random battle winnings, and it is reset to 100% by playing a new Coliseum battle (only needed if you repeated a battle in the Coliseum).

He gives the same message with 1181 troops and 3002 troops. 1181 was enough to march and fight the battles and talk Cygnus into surrender after a fairly long argument. Marching with either 1181 or 3002 results in the same concern from Griffith that the battles must be quickly won before the forces are overcome. Perhaps the game timer is set based on the number of troops?

note, if we must try to guess kapcha for each post then I do not plan to post here often.
