Well, no matter how stacked the odds are, there is only one case where attacker loses all and defender loses none. You should play the lottery if you are getting a 1 out of 357,737 chance 3/5 of the time.
Risk employees will always maintain that the dice do NOT favor anyone. They are stubborn about this. The reality as experienced is quite different. They are not running an honest game. Example 15v4 the 15 gets wiped out and the 4 stands. They will not listen to experience. It is pointless to try and work with them.
I'd love to know the difference of true odds vs their algorithm for these larger armies, mostly concerning average troops lost. How much worse does it look for the attacker as more and more troops exist?
I play with a friend that complained about this. I disagreed with him. After doing several begining to end game stat tracks, he agrees now. There really isn't that big a discrepancy if any on dice rolls. We have a tendancy to remember the bad more than the good. If anyone really feels this is wrong, I challenge you to screen record your games, and show me a couple where you just feel it makes no sense.
Yeah every time I play a game in the app version I experience something wonky and come here to find out if it's just my imagination or if it's really happening.
I just played a game where I was wiped out in 3 turns. I went head to head with a guy to start off.....we both had almost exactly the same number of troops to start off with. In three attacks he wiped out all but 2 of my guys and he lost 5 troops total.
I get that rolling a die is random but three straight turns he wiped me out while losing 5 troops total?
I'm just wondering is the roll system in the game something that can be hacked? I mean if a player wanted to could they rig it in their favor?
There's so many things about this game that are infuriating. I'm pretty decent at risk, I understand the strategy of the game and have played the board game for years. I win fairly often in real games but the online version seems to either be just dumb random luck or rigged.
Between players using more than one account and the (seemingly) busted rolling system it really takes the skill out of the game.
