My luck just has never been good in Civ 4. It always seems like I lose more battles than I win at around the 50%-70% range, especially when I am doing anything that needs to be done, or the consequences will be pretty bad. Lets take my current game, for instance: I've lost around 7 out of 9 or so battles at 60%-70% when I am attacking (haven't bothered to check the ones where I am defending), and I even lost 2 battles where I had 80.1% chance to win, and 89.1% chance to win, respectively. And this bad luck isn't usually counterbalanced by good luck at the other end of the scale, it seems. In fact, I really can only remember two times where I won below 50%, one at around 46.5%, or something like that, and one where I had around a 36.6% chance to win (which actually led me to capture a city, though). This bad luck is also starting to impact me psychologically, making me not want to play Civ as much, which is unfortunate, since I don't have many other games I can play, since my comp's fan is broken (Civ isn't as hard on it as Rome or Medieval II Total War, and the lag is less noticeable.). I'm starting to even think its a bug in my game, since I think I'd call myself lucky with almost any other game, and real life. I wish I just actually won most battles around the 50%-70% range...
