That original Black cap in the North of the map... Perfect dice twice for Green after you and and Blue lost massive numbers on it. Obviously the denizens of that territory have a favorite.

[@jamesbettis4634]

35:44 - I think what the guy was trying to say was humans (unlike AI), are infinitely more inclined to make decisions based on "that lucky feeling", so when a game of humans playing risk stalemates there is a higher chance of someone slamming someone else believing that they might get lucky. I see where he is coming from, but I think if you are all in a stalemate with similar troops, it would be impossible to slam someone (even with true random dice) and remain healthy enough to be able to survive. I feel like slamming someone in that situation, believing that true random dice is going to save you would definitely be a lower level way of thinking (no offense to that guy).

[@jayohheeh640]

No, he's saying that competent bots are unwilling to make an attack that has overwhelming odds of losing, and that bots would not be capable of massing a stack tall enough to overcome the odds of losing, At least not enough to pop a stacked cap. Thankfully the current AI design, the bots are not really capable capital players, and will willing reinforce borders with troops from the cap. You did sort of say the same thing as him, but your approach was inverse, blaming the fault of the human's willingness to risk the roll.

[@jamesbettis4634]

ummm... You clearly haven't got much experience playing with bots. When you said "competent bots are unwilling to make an attack that has overwhelming odds of losing", you are quite wrong. Bots consistently roll with odds that aren't a near guaranteed win, and I'd even go as far as saying bots commonly roll things such as 7vs7 where the odds are less in their favour to win. It all depends on what type of bot you are playing against and how you have interacted with the bot before it takes it's turns. If you are playing against the bot type that likes to smack the shit out of everything AND you have hit multiple of its territories, you best believe that that bot is going to roll some silly rolls against you. Another thing to prove that bots roll less favourable odds... How often do you see bots fail rolls? Obviously if it's attacking 1's rarely ever, but when the numbers increase a little, some bot types will slam troops into troops even when it would make no sense to do so. Overall though it sounded like the guy thought that using true random dice can give the lucky players literal super rolls and the less lucky, self destructing rolls, it's whether or not the player would be willing to take the risk, which I think only a very small minority WOULD take that risk. And I believe the people who would take that kind of risk would be lower skilled players, or players in tournament games who are trying to make a super play (but would most likely fail - and look a little silly after).

[@unluckygamer692]

​@@jamesbettis4634how you interact with bots is irrelevant, they have no memory whatsoever

[@jamesbettis4634]

@@unluckygamer692 The bots have play styles though, and from experience (and it's very possible that I'm wrong) there is a bot that I'd call "you fuck me, I fuck you" (revenge bot)... and what that means is if you roll a couple of it's territories while taking a bonus, it's attacks are more likely to be towards you. Like it'll start rolling random rolls all around the map all directed towards you. In addition to it's aggressive nature, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a bot that's more likely to roll less favourable rolls (rolls with lower odds of winning).

[@104FREDRICK]

Pete where would you have expected magenta to cap? Was his spot a bad choice? Or was it just in the way of your plan? You mention not to cap on a 1 later in the turn order.

[@Alxflame97]

capping on a one when you act last isn't terrible on balanced blitz (still not good), but on true random where you don't get the massive boost, you are just crossing your fingers and hoping for good luck.

[@thesolarfutureenthusiast1102]

IMO The slider itself doesn't want to default to the minimum troops for a 100% attack roll. Just when the attack is made if the slider is greater than min required for 100% attack roll then calculate the attack at that minimum. That way the user experience is exactly as it is currently but you lose troops as if you are slidering. If the slider defaults then if you want to throw 10 troops and see how that goes and then do another 10 then the slider would default back up to min 100% attack roll for the second attack, which would be very annoying.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Yes this is the ideal design without actually changing the dice code

[@stevep5669]

Whenever I see a 4 cap and I’m later in the turn order I can never help but take the gamble on the dice. Can’t decide if that fault has hurt me or helped me. Probably 50/50. But GM who has hit top 50 I guess it’s not too bad

[@thehappybeard]

[@AdamsAGD]

capitols should be changed to perhaps have an extra +20% defenders rather than a +1 dice. the few times i played it everyone just sat on caps, was very boring. prog world dom is always fun, finding kill paths, setting up the kill paths, killing 5 people in one turn :D . coming back from 4 units when everyone else is on 15-20.

Rolling a 6 and an 8 to take iceland is so dumb.. on average you'd lose around 10 or so troops, so it would take 11 turns before that became profitable.

You mean 6 turns, you lose 10 and add two 1s on territories.

@@attheratehandle what do you mean?

[@attheratehandle]

@@elicantwell 6 turns to break even as per my logic. Attacking 14 troops, you can lose 10 as you said, then one troop each is needed to occupy the territories of the defeated 6 and 8. Totalling 12 troops of expense for +2 return.

[@gdgd5194]

What a balanced game! Attack 4 cap, loose 1 troop. Then attack simple 2 and loose 4 on that xD Don't mention all the 3 vs 2 where you have what chance, close to zero in "bAlAnCed" blitz? I got match where nups casually attack 2s with their 3s and lose 0 xD

Hey guys can anyone explain why adjusting the slider to 100% to take rather than 100% of stack is better? I'm assuming it minimises the potential losses but just wanted clarification!

You said you’re doing this a full season ahead? Are you pee-recording this video a while ago?

[@ajseker]

Hey Pete, not a caps player. What do u mean by cap rolls being broken?

[@elicantwell]

From what I've heard from his videos, when you play balanced blitz in capitals, rolling caps gives you consistently bad rolls. I think the way they balance the cap rolls causes the attacker to have a worse chance at a successful roll than they statistically should. I might be wrong though, but thats why Pete is always playing true random when he plays capital conquest.

[@nabedane]

​@elicantwell no, that's not it. Cap rolls are broken because you can get even on them quite a lot of times when it's not supposed to happen. Rolling a 500 cap with a 2000 stack slidering on 100%, you often see the attacker lose 450-600 which would be impossible if you truly rolled the dices a couple hundred times. SMGs algorithm allows this to happen and that's why many people say cap rolls are broken. Also Pete plays the meta settings a lot, europe advanced progressive capitals.

[@PhartBawks]

The only way to stop stalemating is to get 2x cards for kills in caps mode

[@jamesbettis4634]

Awful solution to be honest. If you've played the game long enough you'd experience games where people chain kills using progressive cards until they win the game... If people got double cards for kills in caps mode, imagining the first person who gets a kill is holding 4 cards and kills someone on 5 cards... they set in, 4 times in a single turn. Not only that, now imagine you're at the stage of the game where everyone has set in once and is holding multiple cards (round 6-8), with around 30 troops each. The first person to get a kill in that situation gets a guaranteed win.

[@PhartBawks]

​@@jamesbettis4634seems like i solved the stalemate issue

[@lorenzosotroppofigo1641]

That would be terrible. The risk of chainkill will become huge, and high level players will just think "hey if I attack this weak player, he might become killable, let's not do it". It disincentives attacking weak players even more. Problem is, it's insanely hard for games with multiple players that are one against the other to not have stalemates situations. You usually have to do some really weird stuff to break stalemates, like losing constantly a part of your troops, having some territories become "uninhabitable" after a while

[@jamesbettis4634]

@@lorenzosotroppofigo1641 I think the opportunity to chain kills in progressive is at a nice spot as it is. Not too common and not too uncommon, feels nice when you're the one doing it. I obviously don't know your rank in risk and every situation is different, but if you are playing progressive caps on a bigger map and you've reached a stalemate and have someone that keeps breaking your bonuses, honestly just let them have it. Eventually they'll try and take other peoples bonuses and upset the wrong person, or they'll simply have too much board and you'll collectively come together to grind that player down. If someone you're allied to tells you to attack the player and gives you reassurance that they'll join you, AND you are before the ally in the turn order, just attack they guy honestly. If the ally doesn't join you just let the aggressive guy have all the land back, until he attacks the allied person that betrayed you. Normally if an ally says to attack someone and you agree (knowing it'll 100% benefit you both), it's usually never a good idea to let that person down - again though that's all situational.
