Dice - The Negative & The Negative

[hairingtons]

Gotta be something that can be done with the dice. I just played a game, where i was easily in the strongest position and deployed 31 armys on a country...these squared up to 6 armys.

(this being on the Canada map)

I proceeded to be buttfucked by the dice. I lost 16-4. Before finally being able to take it.

On the exact same turn, i had 11 armys vs a 'neutral' army of 3...i lost 10-1.

Its just so fucking ridiculous. Neutral armys should just roll over as far as im concerned and the dice well, they just lost me a game i should have walked over and i'll now go down a rank instead of up a rank.

Thank you for this post. I really enjoy reading about the misfortune of others.

I would suggest organizing a game with the other players with posts complaining about the dice. That way, at least one of you will walk away happy. You could even make it a doubles or triples game to spread the joy around.

Ah ok, I'll admit it... I think the dice suck, but its something we put up with, its been discussed over and over again, why not put a thread labelled

"Flame the dice here, you wont be listened to"

The dice also do have their upsides, its dice, its random, so bad things can happen, just because you have 10 against 1, its not impossible. It's unlikely, but not impossible.

Yeah what do we need the dice for anyway ?

Let's make it so that there's no dice rolling at all when you attack,
armies are just reduced from both sides until you stop attacking,
according to the current statistical expected values.

So if you attack with 10 against 3, you'd know that you will have 6 left
to advance after you've conquered the country.

Or what ?!?? :-B

I LOVE THE DICE no joke I really do they are great, I can usually surgically remove another player out of 6 different countries out numbered like 12 to 16 and take his cards it's wonderful but on the otherhand if i see the dice are losing. I stop while i still look good =-= as cahoots says just learn to stop pushing the button

I'm not even going to address the dice issue, but I will say I LOVE reading the remarks from 'ol Jolly and Wacicha.....you guys crack me up.....the only thing we are missing is a scathing reply from the Scorbinator......

Thanks!

Its over a 1 in 1000 chance

O.K to solve this issue we could do a some simple programming maybe roy could do it and it'll write down

amount of men on each side at beginning of attack and all the rolls for attack and defense
