Losing a million armies to 1 defending army

Postby Chiater on Tue Mar 14, 2006 2:12 am

ok, I was playing a game and I could not get a country for the life of me.. The first round I couldn't get anything and then next round I had 6 armies vs 1 and I STILL lost everything and couldn't get a country. I was pretty pissed.. so, what is the most amount of armies you've lost to an "easy" prey?

Yeah, I guess I just took the laws of probability for granted... And yet these laws always get broken somehow. "Lisa! In this house we obey the laws of THERMODYNAMICS!"

These are signals the dice are bugged.

Who knows (only Lack), could just be bad luck.

I wish Lack would just run a test and then posts some charts somewhere.

... the dice are not "bugged". Take a look at the web service that supplies the numbers - random.org It's pretty technical but it's not too hard to comprehend, and it convinced me.

... Atmospheric noise is used to set an entropy, which forms the basis of the random determination of values. This noise is in a constant state of flux, so there is no definable pattern.

... I watched a friend of mine lose 12 against 1. It WAS amazing to watch (and even more amazing that he kept rolling after he lost 5!), but it was random.

This cannot be bad luck. The probability of 1 defender win against 3 attackers is 34% (0,34). The prob of win 10 3 X 1 rolls in sequence are 0,00002, or 0,002%. It should happen 1 time between 50000. Defender wins 5 rolls 3 X 1should happen 4 between 1000, but I believe its much more frequent.

you are right it is much more frequent. I frequently lose easy odds skirmishes. i've had full rounds where I didn't win a single roll and I rolled on every possible territory I could attack from. I also have lost 14 armies to his 1 lost army..... and I've had other times it happen almost that bad. It seems to be worse when the defense has 2 dice rolls... it seems that they roll higher. I know the odds are better then but that isn't exactly what I mean. I mean they tend to match or better your dice roll excessively too often when there are 2 defenders in a territory.

Wow, chiater your lucky. I make a thread about this issue and everyone flames me. Maybe they hate me or know I'm right :D

Anyway I agree. Once defender rolls a 6, they do 2-3 more times in a row.

Postby dragonfly on Sat Mar 25, 2006 7:43 pm

If youve got like, 20 on one country, and you are up against 2, and you attack and lose like, eight, just stop attacking, refresh your map or your browser, and start again. Ive done this and every time it starts being fair again. Just a theory
