Is anyone willing to compile the % of games that went in favor of whoever started the 1st round?

[bloodwarrior]

100% of my personal games did

[rick1063]

Same here, in fact all of my 1 v 1 games are won by whoever goes first. Perhaps the rules should be changed so that whoever is 2nd gets some extra troops on their 1st turn, say 25%?

i disagree all my games my oppenent went first i won 2 he won 1.they were all hard fought games aswell.great strategy by both players.i play alot of head to head battle and i can go either way if play right

Standings have been updated and we have only 4 active match-ups left (2 of them playing their second game, 2 third game).

If you guys wish to discuss 1v1, it's luck/unluck based nature then go ahead but stay polite like you have so far

25%!! that's too much

[toonarmy88]

in my game i had i i went first once and 2nd in the other game but won both games. the game i went first it ended in 7 rounds compared to the other which ended in 10 rounds

i think you are right going first makes a huge difference because the map is so big its worthless going for bonuses, but going for regions instead

I want no discussion, I just want a compilation of 224+ games stating how many were won by the one who started!

[nimrod30050]

I agree that starting is an advantage...I won both of my games: In the he first one I was second and won in 15 difficult rounds. In the 2nd game I started and was in a huge lead on the 3rd turn...

I started a separate post on this topic of First move advantage for 2 player game I was looking for overall stats.

On my third game I started first but lost. My opponent had a better starting position. I also had some bad luck and made a bad decision in the third round that cost me. Hopefully by next Halloween I will have had some more practice.
