-31.6 cumulative luck (turn 12) http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=3817913

Anyone have a worse cumulative luck differential?

(I hate this player. In a later game, I had -17 or so (turn 8) against him. I think I should blacklist him for the horrible luck he brings me.)

Question about cumulative luck:
Is it cumulative for that turn, adding up all of your luck numbers from each attack?
Or, is it cumulative for that turn, plus all of the proceeding turns?

The second one.

cumulative luck is cumulative

And being a member is being a member :-P

But in this case, i dare to say Níðhöggr, that you just played it bad. Especially your not attacking TheIslandsDistrict in turn 4, but investing into Taiwan, was a deadly mistake.

so op, who are you really? non-members cant tell luck statistics so you must be an alternate and using your primary to check the stats after the game ended

One guess.

Hes complaining about bad luck after losing so...Boston?

=P

That stat is misleading though. What you really want to know is cumulative luck rounding. Who cares if your luck was -0.4 if it didn't actually cost you an army? I want to know the number of armies gained/lost to luck, that would be the best stat you could have. You could get a -0.1 luck on every move, end up with a total of -20 and still never have lost an extra army to luck.

75% luck is fun. A differential of 30+ is interesting because it is rare. It's about as interesting as seeing someone run onto a sports field naked. It's influence on the game is not the purpose of this thread. Seeing games with bad luck is.

-700+ negative cumulative luck
admittedly the template may have been a tiny bit different from strategic 1V1, but it was 16% luck

big troup = + luck
