Game unplayable

Post by king of the britons »

I just canceled my premium subscription and will also get rid of BGA, the game is unplayable with the bias of the dice.

Yes sometimes it works in my favor, but that is by the by, it just ruins the game.

I have checked several distributions and the dice is certainly not random.

I know computer dice are never truly random but these seem no where near.

And I can see this has been bought up many times before and nothing is done to alleviate players grievances

Yes, it has come up before. That is because many people do not understand that it is normal for unbiased randomness to create erratic patterns on short runs like a game of Catan.

If you want smooth distributions within one game, you would have to manipulate the dice. But dice manipulation isn't done on BGA although many users seem to want it (not me).

You are confusing "random" with "evenly distributed".
