Haddock's Comments

NO, it doesnt. Listen, will you? The computer is able, just like you and everyone else, to select single dice, by clicking on the separate dice rather than the paper!

Also, READ what people are saying. People come on the comments, say its rigged, then ignore everything else, not even listening to the arguments against it being rigged

IT's NOT RIGGED! HOW MANY TIMES?!?! GAR! It is a well known fact in the statistics of probability,as well as psychology, that the mind will only concentrate on what it wants. If you think the game is rigged, then your mind will only ever remember the times when you got unlucky, and forget about the times when you did well. Whereas if you were to approach the game OBJECTIVELY, you would see that in fact it's pretty even.

Wait, I take that back, You were working with only two dice, I was working with 3 - sorry. Still, 20/36 is more than 44%

Sorry, Ware32, I have two objections to your working there. Firstly, 20/36 is clearly more than half, so not 44%, and secondly, my working, which I'm sure I have correct, gives a value of 19/27 chance of getting just a 1 or a 5. Including more options to score surely could only increase the value of the probability of scoring, but 19/27>20/37. So clearly there's something wrong there

RE: all people discussing chance of getting a 1 or 5 on any one dice out of 3, its a 19/27 chance: Work out the chance of getting NO ones or fives = 2/3 * 2/3 * 2/3. = 8/27. THen the chance of getting at least 1 1 or 5 = 1-(8/27)=19/27 Other scoring options make it a lot more complex

TO those people who think the game is rigged, I ask you this. Why would the designer write a rigged game and then write an entirely separate piece of code to show us that it is not rigged? Answer: He wouldn't. Noone could be bothered to do that. Therefore, the GAME IS NOT RIGGED!

For those out there who haven't read any books ever... With games to do with chance, people always feel it unfair, because YOU DON'T REMEMBER THE TIMES WHEN IT WENT WELL FOR YOU. You do well on a round, and your mind thinks 'meh, so I got lucky once', and forgets it. Everyone's mind does this. So all you remember are the times when it went a bit wrong and you got UNLUCKY. To sum up, The feeling that it is unfair is an illusion. STOP SAYING IT!

And for all those mathematicians out there, I will defend myself in advance by saying those figures are rough. its actually a 4.91% chance per go

Also, 3x 3 pairs in a row is not that unlikely, labrat. If my working is right, 1 3 pair has a one in 20 chance of happening. This means 3 3 pairs happens once every 8000 goes. This seems like a lot, but with millions of people gaming and playing 10s of turns per game, it's bound to happen to someone sometime

For those who think it is biased towards the PC, i have a story to tell. Played against a reckless before, and for 70% of the game, he NEVER LEFT NEGATIVE FIGURES. Biased - me no think so

my 1st 1st comment!

It absolutely munches on RAM

Was on last campaigning map, orchestrating last strike to win, and I get a power cut. GRRR!!!

rough quote: "blue nodes will not normally have a fight on them" Rubbish. 99/100 times i go on a blue node there's a fight

you dont tho - I have a level 30 whose stats are no better than it was when it was lvl 0...

What do levels actally do?

ohhhhhh, I thought it was more complicated than it was

level4 wtf?

a lot of the lag is caused by the chat messing up the game - mute the chat before you start
