There there Church Consider your atrocious luck as someone else's great luck. I remember an axemen in there somewhere just about to reinforce that city with a quickmove only to be slaughtered by aforementioned chariot panic, city lost. Or so I thought. How that city managed to survive against these 3 units is still a mystery to me but being on the lucky side I have to consider it a great RNG roll in my favour I'm still smiling to think of your reaction when the oracle was finished there the next turn in favour of building any more defense. Oh well, gotta love flukes just as much as hate dem bad beats.

I'm still smiling to think of your reaction when the oracle was finished there the next turn in favour of building any more defense. ROFLMAO I just couldn't believe it when you finished the oracle in this city when you blatantly needed units in there. The chances of saving that city were minimal to say the least. I had good odds with the axe/spear, good odds with the chariot and good odds with the spear!! If you were my teammate in a teamer I would have driven up to Scotland and wrapped my hads around your wee throat. Though presumably you wouldn't take this kind of risk in teamers. Having said that I could and should have done more to save my 2nd city when you rolled in with what was IIRC a million catapults. I'm not very good at going into crisis mode, I hate doing that to my beautiful civ, but when it's going to die it's certainly worthit. I really thought I had enough, but because catapults are so ferociously overpowered, ( even more so in WL) I didn't. I was chatting to Sir_Tobey afterwards and I came to the conclusion that whenever faced with a catapult army (THE weapon of choice in the classical era) I should assume I have half the units I actually do. Also if I'd have had a stack of horse archers lying around (Tobey's wise suggestion) I woulda been ok, but that's only because you had no elephants. Cata stacks with just a few axes and eles thrown in are just wretched.

I love when I lose the 100% battles ;D There is really no such thing a 100% battle, it's a rounding issue with the way the game displays combat odds, the next patch will display something like >99% instead. CS

I lost 5 warriors attacking a quechua on a forest hill thus killing me and ending my 59 win streak yesterday.

lol. well church figured it out to be 98% for him to win all those battles. But it doesn't matter. I should've attacked 1 at a time or just not at all. I was just anxious to kill the unit and was positive 5 warriors would kill 1. I'm sure I had great photo moment when I saw all mine lost. 8O

Lol the randomness went my way just then. Played an inland sea ren game, i was spain on the frontline and my capital got 2 pigs, 1 corn, horse, elephant, gold, 1 floodplain and ~4 hilly plains all in its fat cross. I got iron and cows in my expansion just above my capital

I have seen some bizarre RNG especially recently. One game I won two 7% battles in a row attacking a archer on plain hill with a chariot. In another game I lost 4 consecutive battles with odds in my favor triying to kill 1 unit (the last was 88% odds with a general).

I had a 75%/25% split on an artist/engineer pop engineer twice, and later 80%/20% and I got engineer twice as well, so that amounts to .25 *.25 * .2 * .2 = 4/1600=1/400=.25%.....Yeah civ odds are severely messed up.

my "game conspiracy" runs a little deeper.
I'm convinced that if on random civs, you get a civ that has a special unit that needs iron, you don't get bronze.
furthermore, if you get a "horse" civ - you get elephants instead.
thank god there's not a "sex civ" - I'd never get any.

i swear i always get the same leaders as well, when random civs is on yes i always seem to get whatever civ i last played as in the next game if i dont quit civ 1st it seems too will test this theory out and let you know if its constantly happening or if im just one unlucky bastard when it comes to getting civs in random
