A CC Secret

by **BigBallinStalin** on Tue Feb 04, 2014 9:21 am

I'll let you in on a little known secret about CC gameplay. Even-numbered stacks have a higher chance of winning versus odd-numbered stacks. When attacking or defending, the same logic applies.

For example, when defending 53 v 52 yields better chances for the 52 stack--compared to defending with 51 or 53. When attacking with 52 v 53, having 52 yields better chances than having 51 or 53.

Are you smoking crack?
If you are defending or attacking the more troops you have the better your odds ALWAYS. Attack: 52 vs 53 has a 68% probability of success. 53 vs 53 has a 71% probability. Defend: 53 vs 52 you will survive 26% of the time. 53 vs 51 you will survive 24% of the time. End of story :mrgreen:

the increase is higher from odd-to-even than from even-to-odd but that applies to total attackers, not to #left iirc

I am going to disagree with this as well

.
53 vs 51 = 76.77 %
54 vs 51 = 79.31%
55 vs 51 = 81.86%
The difference is statistically the same. 2.54 vs 2.55
If you go further to 56 and 57 you get 2.13 vs 2.12
