This makes me very unhappy when I absolutely have a zero chance of winning. I believe that there should be parallel boards showing the moves the computer makes.
We have all been there, and today seems to be a bad one for me. Yes I know there is an ebb and flow of when the game decides it is your chance to win, but come on. What are hiding computer?
I was destroyed by Rigard three times…Wtf.
Two years I have been playing and I am starting to get frustrated. The amount of time I have put in (because you have to). Is unbelievable.
My raid scores were just as high one year ago…I don’t need examples of what I am doing wrong. This is clearly an algorithm.
And also why can’t there be live one on one raids like chess?
Season three can take a hike. The time limits are dumb.

This would be interesting, taking turns and watching the gems flow the other way when the enemy goes. Likely not going to happen though.

You have been playing for 2 years and you want to see what moves the computer is making? You are seeing all the moves the computer is making already, there is no hidden board

Record some videos and share with the forum and you will get feedback on whether it is your team configuration, board manipulation, target selection or skill sequencing, pure bad luck, or a combination of the above that are leading to the outcomes.

The matches that you play today are quite different from those from a year ago. The heroes are very different, some OP, some with very unique skills. This also leads to very strong hero synergies. +20 emblems are there now. What you did a year ago may well no longer work in this landscape.
Personally I have won about 33 of my last 35 raids so I am not quite buying the pre-determined outcome theory.

I’m a little confused by this part of your statement:
The “computer” makes no “moves”… The defending team doesn’t have a “board” which it plays… The defence team generates a small amount of mana passively each turn. They also generate “active” mana based on the tiles that slam into the heroes… both on and off colour tiles generate identical active mana for the defending team, but the quantity diminishes during a cascade. There are other threads on the forum which dictate the quantities more but the TLDR is that.
You can vote for this on this thread: What about some real-time raid duels? / Live PVP Raids [MASTER]
There is no “time-limit” in the battle iteslf so I assume you are refferring to the staggered release of 3 provinces per month? This was the exact same case when Season 2 was released & just seems to be the way that SG keep the season going as well as allowing the portal to continue returning for a while. Proof about S2 staggered release in this comment here: Next Atlantis Rises: February 4: Atlantis Calendar/Schedule/Date & Guessing Returning HOTM and Featured Atlantis Heroes - #3 by zephyr1

This made me guffaw. Good for you to point it out, @Homaclese. Nicely done.
One year ago, most players doesn’t have a lot of heroes emblemed. Either you degressed or wasn’t able to keep up with other players in terms of getting better heroes and/or max embleming their prized ones, troops included.
But I do understand the OP. Chances of being and feeling 
are 100%. But this is more like a ranting/venting thread than anything else as two years playing this game would already arm such player with enough understanding on the basic game mechanics.

It is basically a whole new game, with little in the way of profits. So no, not going to happen.
Would be fun though as it introduces a new layer of strategy in terms of not just feeing gems of your own color but depriving the opponent of gems in their color. How would it work though? Take turns as raider and defender? Does the defender still get the 20% buffs - what % makes sense given some of the raider advantages are still there but some of the defender disadvantages are also still there? I think that model wouldn’t even work as you can’t have a classic defender setup with a rainbow team as that would cripple you in trying to damage your enemy. Or does everyone has to go rainbow? Does everyone chose a team and the opponent is blind to that team? So you could go strong defensively but that would limit your attack, or try to go mono which could leave you exposed?

How about:
No “defensive buffs”.
Each player selects a hero one at a time in turns.
No idea. Just thought it sounded interesting. No way we’ll ever see it as you said…it’s a different game!

*To what extent have you watched E&P combat videos to check that there aren’t strategies that you may not yet have utilised?
*what is the power of your team and what are the boards (as in season three) on which you say you have “zero chance of winning”?
*(if relevant) what were your set-ups when destroyed by Rigard?
*have you ever made a purchase from SGG? (I suspect that the game may penalise players that don’t buy. I was wondering whether this may apply to pull chances/possibilities but prehaps it applies to other things as well). Having said that, free to play youtuber Farmer Ben seems to do awesome in the game (though not in pulls).
How it is ever possible? Rigard himself is a passive hero, so it is not about just Rigard.
Where are you in raiding? What is your trophy score?
No, you don’t have to spend time on the game. It is your choice whether to spend time or not.
What kind of an algorithm? Does this algorithm work only agains you?
Homa, I have been in the top 100 in raids quite a few times.
Yes you are punny, I can see the moves the computer makes. My reference was to chess or maybe checkers. It takes two to tango. Not just a computer killing you to lose.
Yes it only works against you. I am glad you are the chosen one who wins
Yes you have to spend time on the game. No explaination necessary.
I am sure you will like this comment too.
Wars are predetermined as well.
And you will like this one too.
I was killed by two star twice in the raid tournament…my team costume hawkmoon, shrubbear, namahage 9 emblems, chick, and Gunnar. Zudack couldn’t be killed? Wtf.
Computer show me the board on which you make your moves.
I also finished 1100 in the last event quest for rare 38k for epic and somewhere under 100k for legendary. And I am at level 68…in a day.
threads like this are why i believe any device with internet access should be locked with a breathalyzer

Naysayer!
The struggle is real…And so is the fix:
Use silver coins before throwing gems at a portal.
And take your pants off before going to war!
