Hi everyone!
Players are talking about streaks of bad dice rolls and I totally agree with them.
Players are talking about statistically correct randomness and I do not agree at 100%. Here why.
It is a fact that the dice are random without any doubt. But there is something missing in this randomness and it is the control over time of this actual randomness.
Let me clarify.
If you test CC randomness engine you will find out after a long series of throws that the randomness is absolutely correct on the long run (Statistically speaking).
Exactly on the long run, that is the problem, LONG RUN.
If there is no controls installed for short terms, then the dice are simply out of statics. You then see very often a player losing an almost winning position over a short term bad streak of dice rolls even with odds over 90% chance of winning a fight.
Example: losing 15 against 2, when you should often lose maybe 3-5 units. Do not get me wrong here but losing 5 units against 2 it is call bad streak in my book and it is what i expect when it is not going my way. Not losing 15 units. That is the kind of bad situation I think about when I prepare my tactics and strategies.
That is the short term problem of computing randomness.
Why do we see the highest rank players playing freestyle games only? Because they do not have to worry about the flaw in this dice randomness.
Why we do not see any very good strategists or tacticians on the top rank. Because there strategies or tactics often get kill by the flaw of the dice randomness.
Why those best tacticians always get a tremendous stack of units before doing a fight? Because they know if they want the best chance to win the fight they need to be able to do a lot of rolls in a single fight to truly hit there odds.
Right now I say the randomness is not good for the type of game CC offer. Until this flaw is fixed, only freestyle players will hit the top ranks because it is impossible to control your position correctly when the dice decide of your faith and not your better strategies or tactics.
Very good player understand they cannot win every fights easily and they prepare themselves for that. But when you cannot even control that then guess what!
"noooooooooo not again i had a winning position"
" Ah come on, I just lost 7 against 1, that's BS, now I am dead for sure when I worked so hard to get out of this bad position"
" blah blah blah blah....."
Have a nice day everyone,
