Is it only my bad luck..?!:S

I mean, i played quite a few games and in most games i just have this bad luck with dice!

For example: classic map, i was winning, I had more troops and everything, but then in one attack, opponent got 7 new troops and destroyed 20 of mine.

Almost the same happens everytime. Its not about my tactics, it always comes down to beeing lucker or sucker with dices, and i'm ussualy the last one:(

How to be better if u attack 3 armies with 12 and loose all of them?!:S

You have to prepare for the luck to reverse and smack you in the face - don't just go 100% offense, keep men back and prepare a strategy for when the dice bite you in the ass..

a quick look at your dicestats shows 2 things

1) your dice is average even though a pretty small sample

2) YOU SHOULD STOP ATTACKING 2V1 AND 3V2 IT IS HORRIBLE ODDS!!
(in dicestats they are listed at 2v2 and 1v1)

so.. turns out it is your strategy after all..

Yes, you are the only one in the entire universe who gets bad dice. I'd pray for you, but we both know that God's will isn't as powerful as that which wants you to lose by giving you bad dice.

I am not sure and I would like to be certain so here is my question. In the dice stats, Where it marks "All Opponents," Is that my own average against all opponents or the average of all opponents against or verses me?

I think that bad luck and good luck are like two sides of the pendulum as it swings back and fourth. So long as the pendulum swings you will experience both sides of the spectrum and the more it swings the greater will be both the good and the bad luck. The only time we need to worry about the pendulum is when it stops swinging because then things get real bland and boring. Lol.

I've had a pendulum swing towards the bad rolls in a few of my recent games...here's to hoping it swings back!

I have seen Andy's monkey pendulum swing hard before, and believe you me,
that is something i don't want to experience again...

It was like a 1st date for me, the only 1v1 game i've ever played,
things were going so well, i was having a delightful time...
Andy was being a perfect gentleman,
and then it happened... not sure what triggered it,
but suddenly he whips out this huge monkey pendulum, and he starts violating all my bonus's...
he pinned me down, and wouldn't even give me a chance to fight back,,, it was horrible...

Seems to me almost everything seems wacky. Really bad when you get 15 troops a turn more than you're opponents and still lose out.

In both 3v2 and 3v1 overall, you have luck at 0% or +1%. The rest of the categories are meaningless as the sample size is too small, and you don't often assault with less than 3 dice anyway.

Perhaps so but as i stated, in a game i've been getting like 15 troops more than my opponents, and guess what, only thing happening is that i lose 12 units a turn killing 2 or 3.

Your Overall Battle Outcomes 3v2 and 3v1, the stats that really matter and tell the story, are very positive.

+1% does not seem like much but they are actually huge in the outcome of games and translate to wins with a good strategy...

Well then, Lol; I have a huge outcome, on my dice stats that is. Lol. I got the +1 on my overalls' but I would still like to know for certain what it means on the "All Opponents" Side of that diagram? I am not really sure. Is it the average dice rolls of all the opponents that I have ever fought with or does it mean something else? Like I know that it reads "all Opponents like real clear and all,
but would some one just give me an "Amen Brother" That's what it means. Lol.

I have another question! How can there be 2 different numbers in the number of averages of rolls. I mean no matter who I roll against or who rolls against me, isn't it the same number of rolls? Or is only the Attackers rolls being counted and not the defenders? Or did I answer my own question? Lol.

So in other words, as an attacker it makes little or no sense to attack Large numbers of troops? I thought that there would always be an advantage in having that third die?

You shouldn't assault with less than 3 dice. Unless it's a do-or-die situation where you have nothing to lose.

I looked at your dice stats and you have no overall bad luck. it may be that you have bad luck in critical stages of a game but no overall bad luck.
