Gratz ebt!

It was looking to me like we were in for a deadlock, but you broke it nicely.

Woot! Game on!

The last one was a whole lot of fun.
I'm up for more.

1. Get your roommate(s) to play CC.
2. Play a bunch of hold-the-objective maps.
3. ?????
4. Profit!

Those last couple turns were one hell of a run.
Well played, chapcrap.

You don't have to take all the bonus for yourself, do you?
If you park enough troops on the bonus to make it difficult to reclaim, a smart opponent will think twice about continuing to go after it. I think that's an assumption you've made, that A will commit more to ...

I find it odd that people try to refute this by bringing up different settings. Of course different settings will change tactics. We don't use universal settings anywhere over these games. If you play Manual, Automatic, Unlimited, No spoil, Nuclear, Chained, Adjacent, Freestyle, Sequential, 1 v 1 ...

I completely agree if your goal is to take a territory, and lower opponents territory adding to your own. But sometimes reducing counter play is also good. Imagine he is receiving 4. If you lower is 3 to a 1, he will have a 5 stack. If you just leave as is, and take the 1, he will have a 7 vs 3 ...

I might interject here that as I understand it, the SoC was formed to prevent the advantages that HRP's (Higher Ranking Players) were taking of, of LRP's. No sooner would some one Join CC that they were played with for their score. Although this is a new angle it still seems like fishing or farming ...

Any pattern you see in the dice is all in your head.

"are attacked" jefjef. if your style with words was as good as your math skills, you would have known. Or then again, maybe not. :lol:

bottom line, yours is only a very slight deviation from what can be expected. 1 dice per 1000 means the 999 times you can expect to roll as many 6's as 1's ect ...

Just, I think you're on the right track.

The fact is that this happens in some form in quite a lot of Escalating games, especially on smaller maps: People take up positions that weaken the positions of other players. (What's this? Players in a zero-sum game actively work against each other's ...

Sign me up.

Just came back to CC, and I need to be re-added to a training group.

Can I join this one?

Yes

Only? I would have thought more people would have done it to humor you.

Statistics.

A high probability is not a guarantee.

yesterday a guy in my game said he lost 700vs200ish! that is a big fucking streak???!

U wanna bet we could throw real dice till forever and never lose this attack?

Well, if you round it down it's basically a 7vs2, which might be unlikely but by no means impossible (how did they get that may ...

I suggest the game reinvent their randomizer to be a little more realistic. It's very unlikely for someone to outroll someone, with 1 dice, 10 times (it's happened to me) who is using 3 dice.
Wow. Got a screenshot of that? Because it would be quite a pity if what you said was UTTERLY WORTHLESS ...

Not to mention that you'll leave yourself wide open if you go after their biggest stack.

Unless you're much more powerful than them, in which case you have little to no need of their collaboration.

Dubai/Delhi is numero uno. Chicago a close second. After that, look for places with lots of borders so you have options for taking cards and so you can strike easily when the time is right.
This can work isn't a perfect strategy. While Dubai and Chicago together are a great combo, they're less ...

It's possible to get very close to a 1% winrate and approach a score of 1 if you play with settings that you are just no good at. For example, attacking with all your troops on the map and using up every single one you get, especially in a no spoils game, is a way you can lose if/when you don't know ...
