double troops and rewards to even out dice

just a suggestion to double troops to 6 and everything else doubled
if you have 6 vs 3 it is very easy to lose 4to 0 however if you have 12 vs 6 it changes the chances of a 8 to 0 loss though simple mathamatical statistics
it is still possible but the odds are more than halved.
if there is anyway to have a game not be over after 1 turn i think is an improvement
would love some feedback

To even out the dice? The attacker already has the advantage with the dice. This is why the original game that our site was loosely based on was called RISK...you have to take risks. The game wasn't called "GUARANTEED WIN".

Are you saying that you are attacking 3v3? That's the problem. When you go 5v3 and lose 2, stop attacking. Wait till next turn. Of course your games will be "over by round 1", when you attack yourself down to 1's.

Ah those dice never work the way you want! Go google some risk probability pages - there's even one that lets you try various combos.

The easy way out is to try the City Mogual (sp) map. You get load of armies there!!!

Well that's odd....I thought one got 6 troops anyway, or is that if one has purchased the correct patch perhaps?
