What's with the dice rolls?

I think this might have been mentioned, but I have started to notice more and more, attacks that have more dice than the defender losing. Things like 5 dice to 3 and the 5 loses. And it seems like almost every time it is an equal attack, the attacker loses. Is it just me?

Um. They're dice. Just because you roll five dice and the other guy (or girl) rolls 3 doesn't mean you'll get the high roll every time. And yes, the defender wins ties. Read this for details: http://kdice.wikispaces.com/

Woah, you've played over 250 games before asking this? That's...odd.

lol

when you get equal rolls, it isn't "almost every time" that the attacker loses, it is <b>every</b> time.

Oh and I know the defender always wins ties. What Im talking about is if both the attacker and defender have the same number of dice. Like 3 attacking 3.

Hmm, I'm still not sure you understand that you're dealing with dice here. If it's 3 dice vs 3 dice, then each player will roll and the total of each dice roll will be anywhere from 3 (if they roll all 1s) to 18 (if they roll all 6s). The higher roll wins, and ties go to defender.

I understand we are dealing with dice, but we are dealing with computer dice. As random as it might seem, it's still runing on a program. It just seemed that i was noting more poeple losing these attacks than before.
