Im not sure if this has ever been asked but why cant when you are atting select the number of dice to use instead of the forced three and why not in your profile set up an option for when defending that you only have to use one dice instead of two My personal preferance would have me use one dice against two so as not to lose troops in one fell swoop

because you get better odds this way?
why would you want to change the number of dice you defend with?

It just isn't an option on this site, check the sticky at the top of the suggestions forum, its been suggested before, i cant remember if it was rejected or pending.

Edit: removed esl quip, wasn't appropriate(or funny), sorry about that.

Some times I do other times i roll with two it really just depends on what kind of situation im in at the time hence im only in 8 continents I would use two dice other times while controlling most of the board i might use one dice to hopefully minamize losses

So you manipulate the dice to suit yourself?

Thats kind of lame

Thats kind of lame

Its still kind of lame. I dont see any great advantage from chosing how many dice you can roll.

There is no advantage. But I assume in a boardgame it can take up too much time so peeps wont bother to keep attacking, or something.

in the board game similar to the game on this site, it does make a difference as you have to move at least the number of dice you roll forward. (so if you only want to move 2 troops forward you have to roll with only 2 dice rather than 3)

On this site i see only one circumstance when it may be usefull. If you have 4 troops on a place and want to be able to garentee that there will be at least 3 on there at the end of your go (ie you want to lose max 1 troop), if you are attacking somewhere with 2 or more defenders you cannot garentee this, but if you were able to roll onlly one die (with a far higher prob that you will lose) you could at least garentee that you would end up with 3 troops there.

Simple dont attack if you cant garuntee youll get what you want]

yeah thats bascally it. I dont think i really need to included into CC though - its wouldn't be that useful and most people would just ignore it.

bah I would just like a bit more contriol over what happens
