Conquer Club

Why is it whenever I attack a higher ranked player and I am attacking with substantially more troops I ALWAYS lose?. Is theer any rational to this because I cant see a random # generator always decideing against me.

I assure you rank has nothing to do with it.

You have 14 games completed. If you keep attacking with good odds it will work in your favor. I've won some rolls I never should've against higher ranked players...also similarly lost to lower ranked players. When you play enough games take enough turns the law of large numbers kicks in.

One piece of advice I can give you: Sometimes you must attack when the odds don't favor that attack winning.

the game is biased so better players get better odds i think, it's why the cooks are such low rank since they always lose the dice

What a load of rubbish

Better players have better odds of winning because they play better.

Because they are better players.

In general lower ranked players lose because they think the game is about luck. There is an element of luck to the game, but it comes down to being in position to capitalize on your own good luck or an opponents bad luck or stupid moves. The larger and more complicated the board the less luck comes into it. Many of your top players make their points on large boards. Do a map rank for some of them.

The game isn't about getting lucky and winning. Its about making all the right moves so that when you have that good luck it gets you a win instead of making you merely competitive in that game. Its why some of my Quads partners will tell you I get steamed with myself over the smallest "mistakes" that Cooks wouldn't even know are a mistake. Try beating Phatscotty's quads team or another team like it. Make a misfort, which is not what I would call a huge mistake and its one that everyone makes from time to time, but your odds are now somewhere around 47% at best. If you don't even recognize small mistakes for what they are against a Quads team like that you are about 1% to win.

I made a mistake where I misread the enemy colors because I was tired that wasn't even as big of a mistake as a misfort and I am still pissed off about it. Every small mistake takes you that much further from being able to capitalize on luck. Stop making many mistakes and you will suddenly be very lucky.
