We all complain about having bad dice sometimes, but we rarely hear about incredible dice feats in our favour. Which, by the way, are more often than not, as ridiculous as the bad dice streaks we get.

I remember a long time ago I had something ridiculous happening on Feudal War, but don't remember the exact numbers anymore. I was practically dead and attack a 60+ stack with 5 and got something like 20 off my opponent.

Yesterday I managed to win an escalating game by taking 4 and 4 with only 7 (and I still had 3 left, a huge miracle for me. I normally don't even attack 3 troops with 6).

Today I played an escalating game on Middle East and was sweeping the map. I made a mistake and wasn't able to get to blue with my big stack to eliminate him (the last player). So, I autoed his 29 stack with 8 troops. Guess what it ended 3 vs 4, I lost 5 and he lost 25! I didn't take him out that turn, but got his 4 my next turn: Game 9845357

Anybody else with any ridiculously good dice stories to share?

After dropping 900 points in the last 6 months, I have managed to claw 700 of them back in the last 4 weeks. Had some great runs with the dice including an auto attack 20 vs 24 (me 20) that ended in me advancing 16 :) and many smaller but similar great attacks.

In a trips, my teammate was taking his turn, we had like a 40 vs 68, we had to take it down or we would lose anyways, so he assaulted it reg for a bit, he got down to about 30, they still had 60+ or so, he said "Imma just auto it".. I say "alright do it, doesn't matter now anyways, games over"... he auto it, moves on with 10+ LOL, ended up winning

I remember I was playing a 6 man feudal, and I went against a 15 on my castle with my 6. I ended up taking it and advancing 4.

And i just won a game where I was down to my last region with a 2 on it. I needed to take a 3, 2, 1, 1 to get an elimination. So I went for it. So i deployed, which gave me 5, and promptly went on to sweep the board because I did not lose a single role on the elimination.

Recently played a quads game against a team much higher rated than mine. They had just gotten themselves in front but left a slight chance to remove one of their players, had we failed we probably would've lost the game. I had a 4vs3 and 5vs3vs1 to give us a good chance of removing the player, took the first 3 without lose and went on to the next 3 also without lose and then the final 1, you guessed it without lose. I rarely attack 6vs3 so to take out 7 troops over 3 regions with so few troops was something special. We remember the bad dice when it costs us the game (often in esc games) but the good dice that win a game... those are the things to savor.

In two of my most recent games---one I've had pretty excellent dice, and the other, not so much. But I'm still pretty pleased with my excellent dice game.

In one turn, I needed to win a 9 v 7 and an 8 v 7 to protect my bonus which was a dicey proposition at best. Killed all 14 defenders with only 1 loss. Wayyy lucky.

Just knocked down a 9 to a 2 with a 4. Guess it always helps to try your luck ;)

With 6 troops I went through a 3, 1, and then took 8 troops off of a 10 stack. Killed 12 with 6. Always nice when that happens.

I just had a golden one using auto on city mogul: I had a 70 and went through the neutral 30 and then a 41,1,41,1,13 to win the game. Odds of that succeeding with the 4 troops left over are .000013%.

Game 9900020

exactly. usually when i get great dice, it's in situations i can't win anymore. so having great dice while STILL losing is not really helpfull.
