Any maps using no dice.

[Frogmanx82]

I used to play Risk all the time with a group that used no dice. Has this ever been discussed as either an option for all maps or are there any maps that don't use dice? You just take off armies one for one, pretty simple.

Solution could be to generate bonuses 100 times normal. This way the big numbers will normalise the outcome. For example 400 v 300 is more predictable than 4 v 3.

A quick check in suggestions will give you the full details, but yes it has been suggested and rejected

Yeah, but then you're stuck to using auto-assault and not being able to stop when you want, or clicking through enormous amounts of troops... which is kinda frustrating?

The unpredictable element makes the games interesting and I don't think it should be removed.

City Mogul was developed in order to try and combat the effect of luck - hence the masssive bonuses on that map

It doesn't really work, in my opinion.

I agree

We played no dice games for years and obviously really enjoyed them. Strategy, position, cards dominated instead of luck. Oh well. I was sure it must have come up. I'm just a little bit new here.

[MrBenn]

There is a suggestion somewhere for no dice games (check out that subforum), but it would require a site-wide change as an option, rather than something that is map-specific.

[Frogmanx82]

For all the dice complaints around here, it seems a worthwhile option to add. I bet it would be pretty popular. I just got screwed on two games back to back, 10 armies couldn't take 3 and 18 armies against 5 left me with 4. Its just too big of a swing.

[Riskismy]

I'd certainly play such a game.

I personally like the way city mogul works... another map with large troop counts to nullify the dice effect would be fine with me :p

really
well, as MrBenn said, that was my intention.
in theory it should have worked just fine.
