Feast or Famine!!!
Always learning at this game.... yet another loss to something new. And it made me notice something.. Concerning the luck aspect of this game...I noticed that its feast or famine! Either you get lucky and totally destroy your opponent or you get bad luck and you cant break thru a piece of tissue paper with a mack truck.
I shall explain 
In a game today I had Sylvan with there Expert Luck + Favorite enemy + elven luck.... battle starts and I highlight his 55 Cavaliers and it shows that I will kill around 30 cavs. I am thinking SWEET!
I send the Dragons in and poof " Bad Luck Shines " I kill like 6 Cavs " How can I go from killing 30 cavs ( before the favorite/elven/Luck Bonus factored in) to getting bad luck and kill 6. FEAST or FAMINE.... doesnt this game know a middle ground? Some of these random acts completely Change the outcome of a game. When they should alter the rythem and direction of battle.... not completely decide the game.
Come to find out he had the -2 luck art on me... and when we fought was day 1 of new week and I didnt look but the week was -2 luck for all good creatures. So made my creatures at -1 Luck.
So I go from " with NO luck penalty " I slaughter him easily.... to add luck penalty I cant knock the dust off him. Why does it have to be such a enourmous swing.... why cant it affect the battle some and leave the outcome of the battle to the 2 players??
No worries I reported my loss. Just frustrated at the makers of this game.... what kinda drugs were they smoken when they thought some of this stuff up. I think it should be manditory for there to be atleast 1 designer on the team that has actually played a multiplayer game in his lifetime. Just a thought.

I've noticed and we all know the game is totally unbalanced, very few real battles, its happening exactly as u said Jinxer: u have 2 options: be destroyed like a bug or too easy win.
The luck parameter is huge, i couldnt imagine. But we play, and will to the end...
I wouldnt say this, but I have to.

Just to mention, that in this game it was not day first of the new week (-2 luck and moral for good creatures) but it was about day 3-4. And that's the reason why i made my attack on the sylvan teritory.
Besides that, i had quite many hard games so it's not really feast or destruction. But the balance is really twisting from one side to the other in tremendous rates. So you never know what will be the result of a battle. And that's interesting

Al ---- Wether it was day 1 or day 4.... wasnt really my point. My point was I didnt bother to look at what the new week was. My fault completely... If I had noticed it, I could have easily have avoided you for 3 days and then I win that game with my eyes closed. So my point is...that the week decided the game.
I still am hungry for revenge Al!!! I want that rematch soon!

sometimes week of something,
sometimes luck,
sometimes ring of speed or staff of netherworld

There has to be something to decide a game
Just be careful

I know " Something " has to... and you just proved my point. NO WHERE in your list did you mention that " Players Skill " decides game. Would be kewl for the players to beable to have the control of the outcome SOMETIMES.

I don't understand ... from 30 to 6 ?!
Shouldn't bad luck mean half damage? There must be a mistake or a bug...
Anyway a unlucky hit shouldn't lose you the whole war ! I think you should find the explanation somewhere else ... maybe he played better than you ?

It wasnt just one unlucky hit... I never got Luck shined on me entire battle... And sylvan depends on the luck skill. So it would be bad enough to go entire battle with no luck shining at all... but when BAD luck shines and you lose 50% more damage. That ends up being a potential 125% swing in damage ( Luck + ElvenLuck) So you see you add that 125% more damage to just 2 more of my hits anywhere in battle and woulda been much different story..
But anyways its water under the bridge... At this point I am learning that it isnt as much learning how to beat your opponent as much as its learning how to manipulate the game and out smart and exploit its weaknesses. The guy on other side of computer is just there to chat with during game.

If u play sylvan often you must be using luck more often than any other player so why do you complain that it is broken ? It is only your fault that u had bad luck nobody else's.

Actually SQ79 believe it or not I agree with you. I am sure the majority of my wins were because my opponent got unlucky or I got lucky... Thats my point lol..Hense read the topic of this thread.
Feast or Famine!!
I have only had a couple games that I can remember outta my 49 games that actually came down to opponents skill in the battle and it went several rounds and each move was crucial and had to be thought out.
The rest were either over in first round cause I demolished them... or they demolished me.... Rarely is there a middle ground.
But still holding out hope for this game. I love it to much~!

when i see someone lamenting their good luck and making note of the misfortune of their opponent it will surely be an honorable thing.
