The CUBES are the weather of CC world wars.

Postby AAFitz on Wed Nov 03, 2010 10:00 am

Throughout history unlikely time weather has decided battles that otherwise were forgone conclusions.

Massive attacker advantages diminished summarily so decisively as to be thought to be the acts of god.

So too are the cubes in their decisive glory. Their unbelievable streaks, breaking all perceived odds, simply add the element of unpredictable weather and other natural disasters to a game of War.

The mongolians smashed by two rare typhoons when guaranteed domination of Japan was imminent.

Snowstorms stopping the Germans In Russia so timely as to be god sent.

And countless others.

Post your examples of how real life battles mirror the seemingly unlikely streaks of cube rolls...and justify them defacto...once and for all proving that they are more realistic random, than if they acted along strict probabilities at all times.

Or dont, but if you need to feel better about losing 32 to 5, just think of the second Mongolian Armada getting wiped out the second time in a few years by a 100 year storm...and their frustration thinking wtf, and ffs...and then perhaps your disappointment will carry its deserved perspective. I doubt it....but its possible.

From now on when I complain about a roll however, Im going to blame it on the weather. Especially since, the damn cubes are stolen from the weather anyways.

Well done, Fitz!

I never thought of it that way, but it stands to reason.

It actualy helps rationalize those shit dice streaks, instead of blaming it on God, Karma, Fate, Lack, Voodoo, ect.

When it occurs to me to think like this, instead of the weather, I think that my attackers were overcome by plague and foreign disease, or that they were distracted by a group of fine ladies standing just outside the battlefield.

Aren't they actually squares? They're 2D. We only call them cubes because we assume they are dice, which is a false assumption. And you know what they say about assume...

Any too many hurricanes? And volcano eruptions dumping dust into the atmosphere? And not enough sunshine?

Tsunamis really bum me- the humidity prevents my 'intensity cubes' from getting much done.

excellent fitz... simply excellent!


okay, I'll quickly throw one in...

Holy Leagues Of The 16th Century...

The campaign against Algiers in 1541 was sure to be swift and victorious, it was to be 162 against 35, ready the auto attack button..., but then, foul weather totally destroyed the fleet before it could even reach its target... leaving 3 v 35... Which left the Ottomans largely dominant in the Mediterranean... True story,,, 'cept for the auto attack numbers of course ;)

Just goes to show that God often favors your enemy.

Hm, I guess I should say something about the Winter War...

Sadly I don't know all that much about the Winter War. Except that the Russians weren't properly prepared for the winter so their auto-assault crapped out epicly. Something like losing a 152v9 or something.

I thought it was the germans who weren't prepared? I think the Russians were pretty down with their weather :-$

I'm afraid to start any new games because I the weather channel told me things were going to get worse.

Once in CC there was this player called Alexander, he was playing 2.1 and things were not looking good. his opponent had 1000 troops on Iraq, and Alexander only had 40 on ah... Levant. Anyway, Alexander clicked assault, and what do you know? Those damn dice screwed his opponent...

Oh right, IRL story .. um ok.. let me start over.

There once was this Emperor called Darius III, he ruled 4/5 of the known world, and his army was so big that no one else stood a reasonable chance of beating it... etc etc
