If you post once more time, without something postive reflecting my suggestion, or negative depending on your feelings, i will report you for thread hi-jacking to Ak_iceman/Wicked.

I don't think it works with the current forum software. Plus, I like the nice bland feeling it gives off!

Alright this is the most fantastic idea (note the sarcasm) but how do you plan to measure who the flame king is, because honestly I don't think it is you Ron.
Flame King?

I don't know. He just might be the Flame King. But if he knew what "Flaming" meant in the U.S. he would change his mind about wanting to be known as that.

Risktaker, a little while back (before your time...) and there was a poll for who the flame king was. Ron won.

No im actually deeply offended, not only is my own mother in a wheelchair which is why this is sensitive, but im strongly against racist remarks, and i dont want to be connected with any of that shit.

Suck it up, buttercup
Does no one actually know this saying?
Its not cupcake, its buttercup, it rhymes and stuff. Much better!
Anyways, back on topic.
I don't think that this would be that hard to do.
Although if Ron gets his name in red, I want my name in pink
(not really though, maybe blue or something)

Auto-attack

When I first joined CC I rarely used auto-attack because I didn't always want to just battle down to 3 armies regardless of what the defender had. Recently I've tried using it many times (this was prompted by a survey on whether auto-attack helped, hindered, or didn't matter when attacking, so I was curious). I figured that it was just a randomized dice roll, so I was expecting it not to have any effects different from regular attacking. However, much to my surprise, and disappointment, not once have my attacks been successful with it when the defender had more than one army -- NOT A SINGLE TIME. I once tried it on my final turn when I had 60+ armies vs. 1, and even then I lost 4 or 5 before the attack was successful. I always attack with an overwhelming majority of armies, so the odds are always in my favor. I understand that the fewer the armies, the higher the probability of a long string of unsuccessful attacks, however anamolous such a run might be. And to be fair, I have never tried it with more than about 25 attacking armies -- but I would think that even at that level the true odds would start to bear out after a while.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, wtf? Perhaps the randomizer is not truly random (I know nothing about the technical aspects of this). Just letting you know my history with auto-attack. And that I will not be using it unless it is fixed.

It would have been the same if you just regular attacked it. Suck it up.

auto attack is always either really really good, or really really bad, its rarely evened out unless your attacking 100+ vs 100+
my worst auto attack i lost 50 taking a 1.

Paradice -
Thing is, after I wrote that message, in one of my games I observed 3 other players lose attacks using auto-attack, so it ain't just me that's turned off to it. I still have yet to see an instance of it working when the defender has more than one army.
Your advice was incredibly useful, though

Thanks for your input. Do you use auto-attack a lot?

Christ, you don't understand. It's RANDOM and it would have been the same if you just straight up attacked there's no way you can prove the rolls would have been better.
