Advice on Dice

Well, i've played several games now and got Dice Analyzer installed. It is simply totally unbelieveable how many 3v2 dice I lose (stats are 28% wins, 44% ties and 28% lose). Just now I lost 16 troops (out of 19) attacking a region defended by 4 troops, screwing over pretty much the whole game for me. This happens pretty often in my gamesand I get screwed over and over. Now, as a n00b, I just would like to hear your experience with dice, are they any different?

Generally we advise students never to attack on a 3/2 setting. I always have at least a 2 to 1 advantage when attacking with low troop numbers. Also, if you are in a clear-the-board mode and you hit a bad spot like you did, stop have a cup of tea, try attacking from another spot. If the dice stay bad for a couple more rolls -- STOP -- fight another day.

Join the society and we can teach you the basics.

Sometimes they go that way. Wait until you get a few more games under your belt, and you'll start to see the odds normalize. You should be winning 2 37.17%, tying 33.58%, and losing 2 29.26%. Your losing 2 is actually close to the statistical average, but you seem to be tying more often than normal.

In a game I just played, I found the odds going back and forth from winning 2, tying, and losing 2 pretty frequently. Some games I can't seem to get a break, and other games I seem to have magic dice, but it all evens out in the end.

Ultimately, numbers win out. Remember, you're rolling 3 v 2 every time, and even in 3 v 1, it's not uncommon to lose 6 or 7 times in a row. But as long as you stick with the principle of attacking with overwhelming superiority, you should do well.
