It isn't fun to play when you meet 4 vs 3 and losses 2 both attacks like 10 times in a row. And never win 3 vs 3, that happens like once every 20th game or something.


SCREW THIS GAME!


man - the dice are random - how else could i slaughter 21 men with 6?

Everyone what if this is like one of those horror mvies where we all laugh at oggiss now thinking he's a complete loser for complaining then it turns out, He's right and a massive little dead green man comes and murders us all with red and white dice and if he got really really mad he uses a black one and people fly everywhere with more dice and then when everyone's dead they all turn to 7's. OMG you have to believe him before the world ends and vegaterian hippies with shovels start eating meat with more meat and meat sauce.

Now don't get me started on the randomness of cards!!!!

There is nothing random about these dice!

Postby cfactory on Mon Dec 31, 2007 11:44 pm

Way too streaky to be random. Maybe the math works out, but too much "VERY hot", then "VERY cold" to be random.

It really takes the fun out of the game. I would rather have "non-random" dice that are closer to a mathematical average than lose or win because I am getting a 6-1 advantage or disadvantage over my opponent.

Sorry, but your claims of "Proven Random" doesn't make the games I lose because of a 6-1 loss ratio any more enjoyable.

OP seems like a whiny little, runny nosed, kid.

It is a bit annoying when you lose even though you had an advantage.
I once lost 16 armies taking out only 3.
But that's just luck. I also once took out 11 armies losing only 1 of mine.
Just random luck again.

Most people don't remember the good luck they have with the dice but focus solely on the bad luck turns they encounter.

Confirmation bias.

See the dice analyzer at http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8801 to see if it's not just a confirmation bias.

I'll always remember when I lost 10 while my opponent lost 0 in an autoattack. I can't remember all the times I've had really great dice tho.

The OP is a noob.

And even in a RL game of risk I've taken out 30 losing only 15, and lost over ten to as little as 2.

well if your going to rely so much on the dice to win 3 v 3`s your bound to lose. Find a more strategic game where the dice ar`nt so prominent. i never have good dice(and i mean never) and even thought someone had rigged my dice at one stage during a 19 game lose streak, but i`m sure loads of players have went through the same thing.

BECAUSE IT'S RANDOM! If you flip a coin 10 times and you get heads 9 times, it's not that the coin is weighed or something, it's just fucking pure randomness.
It's simple mathematics, not very complicated.

Keep burying your head in the sand, but you have a problem.

1.) You have absolutely no idea what random means.
2.) I have had quite a few games where the dices weren't really for or against me. Lots of 3vs2 equal losses where you lose 1 and the opponent does.
3.) We don't have a problem, because we accept the randomness as part of the game! I don't go to football matches complaining about how stupid hitting the ball with your foot is and how they're losing good players because not everybody likes to hit the ball with his foot. We like this game with all the randomness! Can't you get that in your thick head?

Haha! I have 256 armies after a series of chain kills in an escalating world 2.1 game, and my opponent only has about 60 armies, so what I have is a 190 army overkill, so I don't care how many I lose, and when I attack a 22 army country the result is... 252 armies!

But when I'm in a no cards AoM game and I have to take Pirate's Cove, I've got 15 armies, I attack the port with 2 armies, and I lose 12 armies.

I love this site. :lol:

Results for 3 attacking armies versus 3 defending armies (attacker stops at 1 armies):
Probability of attacker winning: 20.6%

I love the dice.

Rule 1 never hit 3 v 3

rule 2 never lose more men then you can afford to lose (stay off of autoattack button)

Rule 3 watch your language or this will get moved to flame wars and then you can flame the dice and each other all you want.

Yes.
If it happened 1000 times in a row there could be something wrong with the system, but I seriously doubt that is the case.

Because you shouldn't try it! The odss of winning 3vs3 are very bad.

Dice are random, and if they aren't, then they aren't for everyone. My suggestion, don't attack something you don't have about twice the units of and don't press the attack button when you have less than 4 units.

I get the feeling I am going to have to keep this simple.

Firstly 3 vrs 3 is not an even battle, you only have 2 attacking dice and the defender gets 2 defensive dice. Due to the fact that in the case of a draw the defender wins the chances of a 3 vrs 3 win is limited, this is why NO player that is vaguely good attacks with such odds.

The fact that you cannot understand this makes your arguement and opinion on the randomness of the dice as being pretty worthless. If you fight even odds (unless you are talking a large number of troops) the odds are always with the defending team.

The problem is not the randomness of the dice, it is that people only remember the bad luck, rarely the good.
