We have a series of 50,000 true random numbers from Random.org. Each time the game engine processes an assault or auto-assault, it select a random spot in the series to read from using a pseudo-random computer function. Each time the game engine rolls the dice, the next number is read in sequence from the series (e.g. in a 3v1 attack 4 numbers are read sequentially). The series of 50,000 true random numbers from Random.org is replaced every hour. As of June 2010 we process 1,000,000 assaults per day.
That information is outdated. The updating from random.org broke at some point, so CC was re-using the same dice data over and over. Because the file that it was using did not have an exactly equal number of each roll, the dice stats eventually revealed a problem. There was a long discussion about this in Which number do you roll the most? The last I heard, they had replaced the dice data file with one that had an equal number of each roll, but did not fix the updating from random.org.dgz345 wrote:What I know the dices are coming from random.org
And I don't know how much you remember your wining streaks.
There should be a dice stats on your personal menu on the left.

From what I can tell, having good quality, truly random dice is not a priority around here.torres44cm wrote:There are some very smart computer guys on here that have made some excellent suggestions about using a different dice system, but for some reason they all get ignored, which i think has caused a huge decline in people quiting CC. It would be nice if CC took a more realistic look at this. and make some changes that are needed for this.
