Overall, are you unlucky with the dice?

[cowshrptrn]

i'm in a bit of an unlucky streak, for the last two games i've had to play realy defensively becasue i'd lose a lot of my attacking rolls.

[Shade]

In games with a dice it doesn't matter whether the opponent is strong, or played more games than you...
you can easily win if you get more good throws than him...
I think that's stupid since the game depends more on f%&#ing luck than on strategy or intelligence...

Why didn't you stop pushing the button? :-\

Well technically every roll has the same odds, and at 32 vrs 2 I would fight, and I would do the same at 31 vrs 2, and the same vrs 30 vrs 2 and so on. Plus using Auto Attack really hurt sometimes.

[macwin]

my record loss is 32 v 2

buy a lottery ticket....with those odds you should win every week for the next 500 years.

i have a dice roll calculation thingy, i've got more than 11 thousand rolls right now. Only problem was that it bugged up a lil' on the 1 vs 1 rolls right now, the creator person explained to me why and i updated it, thus fixing it. But as it stands, 33 to 847 is pretty off indeed.

My dice analyzer only remembers stats while i'm logged on - when I close my browser and log back on it starts from zero again. How do i make it remember all dice rolls?

Ok, your browser might be set to clear all the cookies on exit. The dice statistics are in a cookie so every time you close your browser you delete the cookie. You have to disable that to keep the stats.

Works now, Thanks.

i go on streaks, i never get a 1:1, i usually get a 2:10 ratio, then next turn ill get a 10:2 ratio...but i have always had problems with my dice in the clutch (id have 1 more army 2 kill with 10 & lose all 9), & i the beginning of games (wen im the 1st person 2 go & i deploy 3 armies on a territory & attack another 1 i can never kill it

[gerry22]

my dice are rotten and my dice analyzer says so too. I want to see if it balances out now.

can upload an image somewhere? I'll show you my stats now

Wins/Ties/Loses 15/1/17

3v1 => 9/15!!!!!!!!!

---------edit------------

Just rolled a few more

Wins/Ties/Loses 16/3/20

3v1 => 10/18!!!!!!!!!


I can understand why some players complain about the dice. There is one game i'm playing at the moment in which i lose 4,5,6, sometimes more when 3v1 and always against the same player AND yes it's probably all just unlucky but when the dice go sour every time you need them you start to wonder.

--------edit------

...rolled a few more

Wins/Ties/Loses 43/8/38

3v1 => 30/28

Most days the dice are fair to me, if not generous, but when i get bad rolls, it hurts. 16v3, I hit auto attack, advance with 3 guys (making 4 guys on the conquered country). Needed to win a 4v1 to take his continent, and this time I just hit attack the normal way... lose everything. The guy goes on to win the game with some amazing lucky rolls. It seems that the dice pick games to hate you and games to love you.

The dice for me are fairly good. Sometimes I assimilate territories faster than the Borg, but I do have those times where its 3v1 and the defender rolls a 6 five times in a row.

[Knight of Orient]

in two games currently in action, ive had 20 v. 3 and 14 v. 2, lost almost all of them, literally....if thats not unlucky, i dont know what is.

[Kayla]

i have wonderful luck with dice, if i am going like 20 against 13, i usually win with about 17 men left, dice love me, and i love them

[reverend_kyle]

and I love being your partner because of that.

[sanityassassin]

I voted unlucky but it is proberly because when I do get bad dice I get really bad dice but other times I can take 5 or 6 territories without losing an army but in one game lately in my first round I attacked 6 against 3 and lost all the in panic to get a card tried a few other hits and not once did I take an army needless to say I got wiped before too long. I have also attacked a territory which had 4 armies with about 20 or so and didn't manage to take it

[gerry22]

i fair better with auto attack

[qeee1]

ARGH! Just lost about 50 armies to take out 12 yesterday, cost me the game. The dice hate me lately.

[cowshrptrn]

worst dice story, Terminator game, i need to take out 3 countries of 1 with an army of 7, at the very end, i leave the guy with ONE country and ONE army, since this is a terminator game some other dude takes him out and gets the points! (he was the highest ranking player in the game too!)

but i tend to work in streaks, right now my dice analyzer says the dice have been favorable, recently they turned a complete 180, and now i'm doing terribly!

Attacker dice distribution Defender dice distribution
1s 320 / 1787 (17.91%) 179 / 939 (19.06%)
2s 310 / 1787 (17.35%) 156 / 939 (16.61%)
3s 310 / 1787 (17.35%) 137 / 939 (14.59%)
4s 272 / 1787 (15.22%) 179 / 939 (19.06%)
5s 282 / 1787 (15.78%) 132 / 939 (14.06%)
6s 293 / 1787 (16.4%) 156 / 939 (16.61%)

I would like an explanation from lack why i have the dodgeist dice in the world. after 1800 throws they are still dodgy, with 17% nearly 18% throws for 1's , 2's and 3's whist 15/16% throws for 4's, 5's ad 6's.

[Beastly]

The dice have seemed to turn evil on me in the last week....

[vgmmaster]

I normally have pretty good luck with the dice I think.

The only times the dice have let me down so far is when I'm about to be defeated.

[podge]

this is prob just my twisted logic but I rarely use auto attack when it matters most. if attacking and having no luck I will wait a couple of minutes then try again. my reasoning behind this is that seeing as all the dice have already been decided and are just being called of a database (I think thats what happens) I assume I am in a run of bad dice and the delay in playing will clear it
