It is safe to say I have went first in less than 25% of the games in this tournament.

When you are playing against good players, you wont win many series with starts like that.

That sucks.

Still, it should be close to even in the long run. We've only had a few tournaments in this series thus far.

2 more rounds start today

1-2 in circus maximus
1-2 in space

Will it ever end or even out?

2 new rounds, nothing new.

opponents go first in 5-6 games.

I find that issue to be very annoying as well. I have had it both ways. Its really the reason I don't like those 1 vs 1 tournaments, whereas if it were to be equal, it would be a lot of fun.

Because of Olympics, you are kind of obliged to play these 5,7 or 9 battles vs 1 player. I just recently started 0/7.. thank god the player was medium and I won 4-3. But really it can not be so hard as to make it 50/50 or 4-3, 3-4 in starting, can it?

It would be fun to have that option anyway, playing a player multiple times and who wins overal, wins 1 battle (talking about rank score here). This one IMO does not have priority, but it could be cool. The other issue really is extremely annoying.

Getting it too, might be random but I've got several auto-tournaments where I either started 5/5 or 0/5. 0/3, or 3/3.
Would be a nice improvement to have not random start in 1vs1 but a fixed number for auto tournament.

I made a separate post with this topic included. The quote that shocked me from this is "there was no appetite for it". This is a completely ridiculous excuse: for that I read: I'm too lazy/we don't want to spend the money on it. There haven't been any surveys on it you can guarantee. Please keep pushing for this, it would be such a simple tweak that would make the games much fairer. It's hard enough playing a Colonel as it is, without them going first every, single, game in a tournament.
