I've never played or watched a live dice game where such consistent defense occurred. Nothing random about it.
However, the offensive dice do go on rolls as well, but my aforementioned complaint is more the norm.
What? Everything about it is random. Defensive dice are stronger because if there is a tie between the highest number rolled by both players, then the defender wins. If you think about how few numbers there are on a dice, it makes sense that the defender should be a lot stronger than the attacker.
And it should make sense that the defender is stronger anyway in a real life situation. If you're being attacked on your land, the attacker is more vulnerable. You know your land, you're comfortable with it, and your attacker is going out on a limb attacking you.
You're just running into some bad luck. It would take some semi-complicated and messy programming to give defensive dice a better shot at winning when theres only 1 man on the territory. It is a lot easier, and makes a lot more sense just to make the dice always random. And thats why it is the way it is.
