Why do the dice suck so bad?

by **Mach1tosh** on Fri Oct 29, 2010 5:58 pm

They really do suck. I can't get a break in any games that I play. Seems no matter what, attack or defence my forces are whittled away by the "random (sucks big time) generator". This is extremely frustrating and not conducive to signing up to waste my money on this lame game.

Play different maps and settings... Change your luck.

There is so much more than classic.

If you're getting bad dice, then someone is getting good dice. Thus, it has nothing at all to do with the random dice generator. It has only to do with your perspective on what the dice are doing. Change your perspective. Find your Zen.

Just a thought.

If EVERYONE claims that the dice are shit, and above all their dice suck the most, is it at all possible that everyones dice suck, therefore making it equal? Clearly at some point one person is going to have to have better dice that the other, its one of the driving dynamics of competition, but mabye the math is wrong and 3:2 isnt that big of a margin. Its even less of one when ties go to the defender.

This issue comes up alot in online poker sites aswell, on the randomness of cards, and the shit luck of ppl. Perhaps we are just wrong in our analysis of what 60% really means.

My point? Stop bitching about an imaginary string of numbers! Buy 5 guns, load 3, "randomize" them, then pick one, put it to your temple and pull the trigger! The odds of you killing yourself are even greater that of you conquering a territory with 2 enemies, attacking with 4 troops. Thats the game we all decided to play.

Dice are shit, but a bullet in the head is worse, enjoy the game, its not real life.
Sorry for the rant, just sick of seeing "my dice are rigged" threads.

So you're saying if I play the type of games I don't care to, my dice will improve?? Yeah sure.

Sounds pretty random to me, and they still suck.

Attacking 3 with 8 or 9 and getting consistently fucked over with consecutive double losses SUCKS!! I have no suicidal tendencies I just find the way I get fucked over by the "random generator" extremely frustrating. So go rant somewhere else, this ones mine

So you're complaining because the dice are random? Thank you for letting us know that we should pay no attention to you.

What I am saying, and this is true for most everyone, there are maps and settings that "random" only sucks.

I have maps I will no longer play cuz it's only points give away shit. On the other hand there are maps and settings that normally rock for me. Thats just the way it is.

Yeah, there are some maps where good or bad dice in the first two rounds and it's "game over". I'm learning to avoid those, I mean what's the point, too much luck not enough skill. stick to the bigger maps with more players - it gives your dice a chance to even out.

As for the random. It still costs me 8 to kill 1.

The new CC epidemic...people not understanding the topic of a thread, first Robinette's thread now this one

Are you devoid of humor and comprehension?

It still costs me 8 to kill 1 = My normal dice still blow chunks and my drops are from hell. If this is random then my turds are chocolate.

Seems to me that there could be a little consideration for making the "random" parameters a little less cockeyed.

So you want random to be less...random?

dice? what dice?

my intensity cubes sorta suck though, but I have gone through some stages where I get great rolls.. sorta like a game of strategic snakes and ladders

by **Mach1tosh** on Tue Nov 02, 2010 7:17 am

f*ck I hate the dice! Attacked 3 with 11 and wound up losing 8 to 2 and no conquest. Tell me that getting repeatedly ass raped like this is "random". Random my ass!

I've had 11v1 fail. I saw a person have had 35v2 fail. Stop complaining. If you don't like it, Leave. So you expect to win every battle? You never expect to lose more than 5 in a row? Seriously?

I once killed 25 troops and only lost 1...needless to say my opponents were not to happy but thats the way of the dice sometimes you get good ones, others you get bad but the dice are random and with random comes things you would never expect.
