Card set

I'm sure somebody has to have asked this already, but I didn't really know what to search for (kinda generic) anyways.

In the game, is there actually a card set that the cards you receive are "dealt" from? Or are they simply randomly generated? I ask because a) if this means the odds of getting, say, a red card are diminished slightly if you already have one, and b) if it's possible to know that nobody else has, say, an Indonesia card since you possess it. Thanks.

The same card is never duplicated at the same time, but it can show up in two turns, Ex: you turn in siam, next turn you get siam... and colors are random. A mod may have to correct me but I think I got this matter down early on....

There is no "deck", so to speak. The cards are randomly generated, as are the colours. However, a while back, there were some problems with duplicate territories (I once had three of the same card in my hand) and it was triggering a bug that gave you 32767 (-1) armies. So lack went in and changed it so that you couldn't get duplicate cards AND went even further and had to game engine accept multiple cards anyway. It's all very complex...

To summarize; there is no "deck"; you can't (unless you try really hard) get multiples of the same card; your odds at getting a certain colour of card are always the same as their randomly generated.

Right on, in a current game I had turned in siam and next turn I got siam :wink: just a coincidence
