Luck is like :

manny choice's resulting to manny various outcome's, when you missing why the outcome is in your disadvantidge, they called it bad luck!

But as some agree, luck can be manupulated, one off those manipulating moments will be reflected in this feedback:

Feedback:"Positive I had complete control of the game, and he stopped me from having an extra 8 men, with his armies that out numbered me by 2 or 3 guys. Went against the odds to stop me from winning...ended up winning too.

getting into a winning position is usually from good play and sometimes luck may play a part though

Strategy is the most important factor by a big margin, by a solid strategy I'd gotten into a nice position where I was the strongest player by units and could break one of my main opponents continents. That would have happened no matter what and my overall position would have been slightly improved.

Due to good luck with the dices I ended up breaking both of his continents and pushing him down to only 11 countries.

The combination of deployment, dice, cards and the actions of other players mean that luck is the overwhelming factor in any individual game. Over numerous games, however, skill tells.

obviously the luck averages out over many games. So while an individual game might depend on luck, your overall progress up the charts depends on strategy.

Within a game, though, I find that bad dice in the first few turns can break you for the rest of most games.

Truth. Especially in No Cards.

Well I think luck is a factor. Though I try to manipulate the gameplay as much as I can. You need a bit luck but a good tactic or strategy is the only way to win!

I think a large number of people feel this way...I know I sure do sometimes.

Luck, by and large, controls the output of any game. It all averages out over time, and skill and strategy show in your long term results.

Luck also works different ways for different people.

For good players with real strategies, it is bad luck which causes them to lose more than any, because they have a plan and strategy, and good luck may benefit them a little, but their strategy would have given them a win anyways.

For poorer players, with less skill. luck often helps push them to victory. As without it they do not have alot of a chance going up against someone better skilled at strategy and gameplay.

All in all, I believe luck plays a part in every game, more so in some than others. but the definition of strategy in this game would be your ability to plan around, and cope with, whatever kind of luck you have, so in the long run it is always strategy and skills that win a game,

No matter how bad your luck went, there was always someone somewhere who could have gotten the win in your situation.
