Getting good dice...and a rotten game

[jleonnn]

Recently I've been getting good dice...but my opponents have been getting MUCH better.

Example 1:
game Game 5818245.
How can 9v3v6v5 be left over with 3?! 9 troops on mua, taking ubb(3) then market(6) then fishery(5)!

Example 2:
game Game 5816561
How can 9v6v3v5 be possible?! 9 troops on aoria, then butchery(6) then dru(3) then rabbit farm(5)!

Example 3:
game Game 5818206
How can 9v3v3v5 and 4 left be possible?! 9 troops on borun, then yrake(3), then gold mine(3) then duht(5)

It's these things that make me think the dice aren't so random

it is I also play a guy regularly who gets rolls like this

Usually my rolls go

6v3 lose 1
5v3 lose 2

I'd say around 75% of my first turns start this way hehe but it means when i do win one i've come from a bad start which takes skill


I've seen my mate wipe out 3 countries with his initial 6 armies.

6v3 lose none
5v3 lose none
4v3 lose none

aor2, once you get a resource pair, you'll get 9 troops. A village+resource pair:14. 2 villages+resource pair:19. As you can see, once my opponent gets good rolls there, There's almost no hope

Sometimes, exceptionally good dice can turn a rotten game into a great game.

Yesterday, and opponent won a 26 vs 39 on me and advanced ~9. Today, an opponent won a 23 vs 26 and advanced 12.

I'd kill for luck like that.

Sometimes I wonder whether the dice take sides

It's these things that actually do make the dice random.
Every roll is unique, and a previous roll doesn't affect the next roll you get.

sometimes you get so frustrated.
