yes, But I lost a 10 to 2 today in feudal twice. I have not calculated the odds and how many turns Ill have to take to duplicate that. But it seems extreme. Todya I also beat 40 vs 45 and went on with enough in the stack to beat the guys 15 stack two territorys away. he was mad. I dunno man, Im a logical person and Im sure you are right... I would just like someone to start tallying their rolls. I would even volunteer to run it through SAS.

The thing about randomness is that when there is an outlying result, we remember that outlier with more clarity than we remember non-outlier results. This of course occurs in non-random situations; it is easy to remember, say, the top three home run hitters in baseball but not the middle three.

There are no doubt many times when the dice were quite in your favor, but since you likely attack when you have more armies than your opponent, you "expect" this result so it does not stick in your memory.

It is also worth noting that, if the dice are truly programmed to behave in the manner you speculate, then you are the beneficiary of this programming when you are defending during another player's turn so things are still fair and equal. The only way the dice can be "unfair" is if the site uses a different dice rolling algorithm specifically for your account.

The problem is this... good players don't look at this game as a random act of god on who wins... They (i didnt say we :S) look at a game of numbers. For example, they calculate they need X amount of troops in location 2. So they build a strategy around this. What happens when they build their whole game around a sound stratagem and all of a suddden the dice produce a 5% chance result on the crucial hit? It doesnt matter at this time whether the other guy is getting the same dice or not. The good player now has shot his wad based upon what should happen and lost... This is called strategy. Im saying If you cannot predict what will happen with dice with accurate estimates of whether its right or not... what point is it to even deploy and play.. you might as well start a game and just attac everything around you. No strategy and let the dice win or lose for you.
