When i played 2 years ago, I would always try to break a bonus through a multiple of 1's instead of a bigger number because i thought i'd have a better chance through luck than i would through trying to go against a bigger number because they would have equal dice as me. I thought you were suppose to have a much better chance with 3 dice vs 1... but like many people have experienced, i've recently have had horrible experiences with 1's. I don't really understand. I guess it's just random, but then again... 2 years ago, it was not this "scary". haha. Just a thought.

It's faulty logic to think that going through 1s is better than going through a stack as you need to leave a troop behind on each of those former 1 terts.

how is 3 dice vs 1 faulty logic. You have a better chance of winning over a territory. you would still have to leave a troop if you pushed through the big number anyways.

in your example you cited a string of 1s, which means you'd be leaving multiple troops behind.

I'd rather go through four 1s than one 10 stack.
But I'd rather go through one 3 than seventeen 1s.
Even then, it really depends on the settings, map, position, wind speed, etc.

If you had to go through a region with a stack of 6, or 5 regions with 1's on them which would you choose? Anyone who choose the 1's need to rethink their strategy! I used to make a similar misstake when I was new at large escalating games. I didn't adjust for if I was taking down a large number of 1's or a big stack. I just counted the number of troops I needed to take down to eliminate a guy, then add like 15% of that and if I had that I thought I was good to go.

I'd just have to find a game that's an example of what i mean. I mean if i have the option of either going through the same number of 1's.... as the giant stack or not. Say I have a chance to go through a 3, or i can go through 3 1's. I would have use to go through the 1s. But now i go through the 3.
Now do i make sense or am i still a stupid blonde?

As far as strategy, it depends on the game, map conditions, troop/territory count, what color player you are, and daylight savings time (no lie, dice are more favorable to attackers during the summer months in the northern hemisphere, reversed in the southern).
Also, according to your avatar, you're not blonde, so... you must make sense.

I've been called clueless and shit. This was just a stab back at one of my previous threads. I'm tired of not being taken seriously and put down all the time. It's annoying. All i'm doing is asking simple questions, and i get attacked like i'm an idiot.
But I agree with you. It is circumstantial.

Don't take it personal. It's common CC courtesy to insult and humiliate people who have questions

. If anything take it as a compliment, that's how we show our love and affection for each other

. Well at least I do

Use to figure out what gives you the best odds.
Attacking a 3 instead of 1,1,1 or attacking a 10 instead of 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 provides better odds.

There are risk dice calculators. They will teach you the odds of going through strings of 1's or going over 1 tert with a stack. I finally broke down and made my own I can send you if you have a ruby platform installed.
Do not worry about people insulting you here... mostly a lot of rude people here. Look at it as a sign of love. But I agree, I do not enjoy all of the negativity these people spew. They insult me you and others and seem to get off on it. I let it all wash past me like a drop of rain pattering against a pool of water. It opens a hole into the pool of course.
Who knows.
gl at the game.

Is he joking? YOU PEOPLE? How about yourself? You're pretty darn rude as well! At least I recognize that I can be rude at times.
But I'm trying to be a good boy and give compliments every now and then!

I don't know why, but it seems I have disproportionately bad luck with 1's. I know it's random and all, but I've seen several times where I get their stack to 1 with no losses and the last army says "GTFO" and kills off 10 of my attacks.

I agree, why would anyone pay someone they fancy premium but don't tell him/her?
