I am one of the "dice bitchers". Some of us just have to realize that we have bad luck. After a while it really starts to affect how you play when you assume you're going to lose more than you win every single time. I hate it, but that's part of playing games...luck.

Funny how every time that a ? shows up on the forums some people cry multi... If a ? shows up and starts writing a strategy guide for Stalingrad then I'd be concerned but come on...

Well my problem with these "assault cubes" is I see the same number. I'll roll a 6-5-4 and see a 6-5. This happens quite often when I attack. or a 2-3-4 and a 2-3. I dl dice streak but I can't get the box to open up to show me the streaks to prove this.

It's called confirmation bias. There are only so many combinations of numbers... you've picked out this one set of numbers to watch, and when you watch for those particular numbers, they will seem to appear more often to you.

It's like the thing when you think of a friend and the next moment the same friend calls you on the phone. You remember all those times that happens, but you never remember the times when you think of a friend and he doesn't call you.

Or the way my iPod keeps playing the same damn song over and over. I really need to add another song.

Good point. I thought I was just telepathic.

Turns out that OP is actually running above expectation with his dice.

question about the dice was the system changed last year ?? people talk about it but i cant find anything about it
another question about the dice when you have bad run in a game why does the other guy get perfect dice and perfect spoils
or is that just luck of the randomness

by **zimmah** on Thu Dec 22, 2011 7:10 pm

you know what's also funny, i often have a situation where i have a ton of armies, like 60 vs a much smaller number of enemy troops, like 15, and on the next territory there's like 40 maybe and then my 60 stack suffers heavy losses against the 15, so i end up going like 20 vs 40, and then the 20 beat the 40 with 10 left or so.

this actually happened more then once.

also, to me it seems like no matter how many troops i have, whenever i try to eliminate someone for cards, i always seem to lose, even 30 vs 6 and 100 vs 60.

I won a 4v1 earlier today.

God damned miracles.

by **zimmah** on Tue Dec 27, 2011 3:17 am

You'd almost think that it was random or something!

But if you accept that one thing is random, that opens the door to accepting that other things are random, and next thing you know people will be questioning the New World Order....
