dice

[OneEyed]

hm, how exactly dice works here? because sometimes I can not beat 1 troop with 6.

I'd like to think so, but after a year or so break that I have had I can't help but notice this happening in every game - a lot, most turns in fact

This just happened, first turn of the evening:


But can't just be me I guess!

I find that when attacking a territory with only 1 troop on it. I do better with just the attack button. When I blitz I usually lose 1 or 2 each time. Maybe it's just me. It does run in cycles though and we always remember the bad more then the good.

 

[qcaulk]

Oggyy,
That is an interesting screenshot.. I really never pay much attention but I will from now on.. how can the defender be rolling 2 dice with one troop?.. It appears to me something is amiss.. Is that the end of a blitz or did you assault manually? I personally never use the blitz, never seems to work well for me.

 

[Cardinalsrule]

The defender didn't roll 2 dice with 1 troop. The first 2 rolls, the defender had 2 troops and rolled 2. Lost 1 of the 2 on the second roll and threw 1 dice after that.

 

[Bluebonnet]

seems strange to me too. for the final roll. the left side shows 163,64 the right side of the screen shot shows 163,6


why is the 4 appearing on the left? it is coming from a 12 domains game though.

 

[Oggyyy]

This was a 10 v 2 blitz - which ended with a 3 v 1 - and I stopped at that point.

I am convinced this is a genuine glitch

It appears that the roll i won - a 5 vs the 4 then "sticks" with the defending dice from that roll - leaving the highest dice - in this case a 6, to be "unbeatable" - hence after that roll the defender rolls a further 3 straight 6's

Those rolls were in fact a stuck roll of 6,4 (4 times in a row)

Just a theory of course....but I have lost hundreds of rolls to defenders having 6 after 6 after 6 in a row - its remarkable if it isn't a glitch

I'll screenshot as i come across more examples

 

[LordAdef]

Well, I had a similar 6v1 today

 

[Oggyyy]

no screen shot but just had a 25 v 7 down to 8 v 1 - same thing happened, strings of 6's over and over again.

At the very least, very, very odd

In reality - when I posted these I was probably on a very cold streak!

Must have been a rough week! :bird:

 

[Oggyyy]

I'm just venting here...i'm sure the dice are fine

i was on my phone so no screen shot, however defender just rolled 6 double 6's in a row....that's outrageous.

I'm all for what comes around goes around, but seriously, in my latest games as the attacker i'm getting absolutely creamed...

Anyone a statistician?

I make it 1/2,176,782,336

1 in 2 billion...

Ok.

 

[LordAdef]

Oggyyy, how slow/fast is your internet connection? Or, how was it when you made these turns?
And, do you use the attack or blitz button?

Interesting. Post the game number next time so I can take a look at the logs. It's most likely a graphical error since the math takes place on the server, and the images take place on the screen, so sometimes all types of weird visual anomalies appear, but it's good to double check anyway.

 

[BeanZ]

This just happened, first turn of the evening:

Just putting it out there I've seen this happen on several occasions, I just always figured it was the server acting slow...
From what I recall it seems to happen most often (for me at least) when I'm attacking with big armies i.e. anywhere from 20-1000.

Yes this monstrous game is still going :banghead:

 

[sundicekid]

This just happened, first turn of the evening:

The only thing I see is the 1st line, the 4 should have take the 3, maybe that's what Sheriff meant by graphical error? And the rest of the lines look right to me. Ties always go to the defender.

 

[masterjskye]

The "graphical anomaly" in question is the 4 Ice cube on the right. It should not be there when only one dice is supposed to have been thrown.

And Beanz, how is it you've missed '22' turns and are still alive, lol!! In fact, fairly even with the other guys??

first line. 6 takes 4. 3 and 3 is tie so offense loses 2. it is correct

 

[Oggyyy]

Oggyyy, how slow/fast is your internet connection? Or, how was it when you made these turns?
And, do you use the attack or blitz button?

At work - fibre (60mbps)
At home, broadband (9mbps)

I alternate between both options - i tend to blitz when in double figures.

the 12 6's in a row... 666666666666 for the defender - was on my phone, android, puffin browser - couldn't figure out how to screen shot.

Coincidentally this was also a 12 domains map.

 

[Sebrim]

So, apparently, the problem is the sixes. Can you, Sheriff, check a random game of a two-digit number of rounds how many 6's were thrown compared to the other numbers? And if possible, how many of these were thrown by the defender as compared to the attacker?

Or is this something the database doesn't allow?

 

[LordAdef]

Well, I just had a 20v14 making a 3v14.......... I was so pissed off I forgot to print screen
Game over, sometimes live sucks

 

[NewSheriffInTown]

Give me the game number, I'll look it up.

 

[LordAdef]

Give me the game number, I'll look it up.

This one, my last move:

Sheriff, let me know what you find, If I remember correctly there were sixes everywhere for the defense.
