You should put up your own strategy guide!

Probabilities and conquering countries.

All you need to know about axis and allies.

That is not how luck work. You can get super long hot streaks you know.

Congrats on the winners. Good play from both sides.

There isn’t such thing as good luck across several games (with the number of independent rolls impacting the games, that’s impossible). Cow’s approach makes me think of a poker book I read. A little more risky / loose play to keep your opponents on their toes, but always keep an out to limit the damage. By acknowledging / promoting his own luck, maybe Cow is gaining an advantage since their opponents will be more cautious and think about odds more conservatively?

Keep worshiping the coward omega…  we will see how he does in the finals.  It is very much possible to have an incredible luck streak and he has.  Obviously you arent really looking too deep into his games…   :lol:

Do you even play the game?  If so I would like to offer you a league game.

Cheers

Worship is too strong, but gotta give Cow some credit (as I do give you a lot of credit).

I play the game, but I find the amount of time needed to play strong players online is huge and isn’t worth the reward. Looking at the higher caliber games, it’s clear that you have to plan several moves ahead and think of the counter while simulating several battles based on a number of different actions and expected responses. In these cases, the winner depend not only on skill / experience / luck, but also the sheer amount of time and testing that is done on each side. I can’t compete with that level of investment of time and thinking and the resulting ROI is too low.

I have one League game ongoing with Wheatbeer and I got busy and bored (not sure if I’ll even finish it). For the time being, I’m back to playing casual table top games and picking up ideas on this site.

@Boldfresh:

Well all you saw in this game was an udder and complete beatdown by completely one sided dice.  Worst I have ever seen.  So im not sure, if you were watching the game, how you could give any credit to cow.  The dice get all the credit for his win as far as im concerned, and that is an objective assessment.

Can you show dice stats to prove it, accounting for all battles? I would be interested to see that.

yes the dice were bad,

but you guys also made mistakes, and did a lot of risky moves that I would not have done because I am a more conservative player

when you do a risky move, and get bad dice, yes it sucks and you can complain and all, but you are also greatly at fault for choosing a risky move over a conservative one

this is even true when it is the best move to make due to other considerations, like a high payoff, etc.

Omega, I rather doubt that anybody spends as much time as you think they do on these games. If you’re inexperienced you may spend more time, but once you play a few games and get your butt kicked you learn quickly and can be competitive without spending hours calculating every possibility. Of course, being competitive doesn’t mean you’ll win, but as you gain experience you will get better.
