What you say does make a lot of sense .... but my streaks run for days and weeks at a time.

I 'm talking about probably 8-9 games out of 10 that I am getting ridiculously bad dice. On my current streak I am down about 600 points (again). This is in part due to my playing 1v1 again a little - where ...

Work.

Both ljex & jammyjames have been very helpful. There have been countless people in games to help here and there.

Someone please explain why you wouldn't attack someone 1 vs 1? This is no team victory in this situation. Only one of you can win. Why would you give your opponent the chance to setup properly? Yes, you had a truce, but again there can be only one winner so if you 2 are left, why wouldn't it be ...

I'd love someone to explain to me how when I am on a 'bad' streak, as 'random' apparently produces, my opponents appear to be on great dice streaks?

I am down about 600 points now in 2 weeks, and I haven't even played that much ... mostly based on fucked up dice ... consistently losing 8v3 and 9v3 ...

I have not a darn clue what isles connect to what on the mainland. Instead of popping one sentence at it, why not just have territory line connectors or something of that variety?

The isles connect to same colored territories.

I think the issue is do they connect to every available same color ...

The question strikes as moot. Allow me to explain: 98% or so of my games are 1v1 and I play on a very large variety of maps, mostly large (by not huge) ones. Looking from my perspective, i don't see a shortage of maps to play 1v1 - rather, there are lots of maps not specifically made for 1v1 that ...

In general fairness, I probably would have deployed and forted as best I could, leaving him a message that he has this round to fort and prepare.

Of course he could always have attacked you in that round, but at least you had the chance to fort and prepare.

I don't think there's really a wrong ...

I like this concept. There are a lot of little areas where the text gets mixed up in the borders. Could you lose the black borders and maybe border each territory with the color of the bonus? Despite the pixilation it's not a bad rough draft.

This explains a lot!

The game could automatically post "gl" and "gg" on behalf of all the players...

If this were the case, I think team games should keep the team chat. How would diplomacy work in this setting though?

OH... you mean this game : 7038978

Eh... all you need is the tactics. On that map if both players are equal it comes down to dice and who attacks first


Yeah, it's the only time I've played that map. I knew after the first round I'd lost. I just didn't realize how bad I'd lost! Your name stuck ...

This is an interesting idea. I think the details really need to be worked out to common agreement though.

For instance, will the amount needed be a set requirement or will it vary depending on the luck of that particular territory? Will it be consistent for every territory on the map (as determined ...

I like Fog games because they seem more "real". You don't know your opponents strengths or movements. You don't know what they're up to, or where they are amassing armies. If that information is passed on to you it could be useful, it could be trash. The same scenerio was used in Normandy on D-Day ...

I have been exploring the map foundry and the maps there look amazing. They are very complex, clear, detailed pictures. Do the creators of these maps draw out the entire map from scratch?

I was just wondering because I wanted to try to make a map, but I can't draw nearly that well! Also, if the ...

MarshalNey is spot on. Unfair, but unfair to everyone.
May all other dice threads be locked and deemed obselete, and people be redirected here.

Learn to handle the streaky dice, wait for your share of good luck (yes it comes where you choose to remember nothing but the bad times or not) and try ...

Yeah, they seem to think the same in bugs. I probably hit search at the exact moment I needed to in order to see it. Just struck me as really weird.

Yeah, fair enough, I'll post it and see if anybody has any thoughts on it

I just looked, it's not around anymore.

I'm not sure, I've never seen it. Having not been here that long though I figured it could have been lack of experience. I thought about joining it just to see what happened, but figured I'd capture it and ask instead.

I think he means what are the odds of having a spoil set if you've only recieved 3 cards? As well as what the odds are if you have received 4 cards that you would have a set to turn in.

I think it really depends on the size of the map. I'm not 100% on the way the cards are determined though ...

I probably should find a map I enjoy and spend some time playing just that map

No you shouldn't. A better advice is to find the game types you like, then play lots and lots of maps with those settings.


Oh I can farm on 1v1 manual freestyle no fog on any map :)


Like WWII Poland :P You ...
