Jakob's World [Mini Empires Deluxe] Might shut down.

Usually people with godmod, saying "oh i have more armor" or "i have this and that, making it easier to kill you." We should definitely make a system in the server to make battles fair and just, like adding bonuses to empires in certain eras, etc.

Bohemia really flawed that during our war by going "oh we now have riflemen we get to roll more" and started rolling like 18 (or about 18) sided dies while I had to roll 14.
Then, whenever my ships were attacking his (mine had a lot more weaponry on it) he was like "oh i roll a 20 you roll 17"

Given i am in an entirely different era, yes, it was fair. Players in more advanced ages should definitely get a higher roll number.

Rolling a higher number = More chance of fail. Having better units and melee attacks should lower the number, increasing critical.
Operator¹:
You actually have a pretty good chance of failing badly if you flip a coin, so lower isn't better.
SWAT One:
Jakob you're partially right. If you roll a lower number, you either pass or fail by smaller margins. For instance if you roll a 1, 2 or 3, from a 3-sided die, you get 33% (fail), 67% (pass by narrow margin), and 100% (absolute victory). Rolling a 20-sided die increases your chances of rolling something of low-end numbers, but also raises the amount of high-end numbers. It's a trade-off.
