I'm not undefeated, but i'm 90%, but i take point handicapps so that it makes things more fair with my friends.
I'd rather play with less points and barely lose than play with more points and win easily.

I lose constantly. But I totally don't mind. Back in the days when Marvel Vs. Capcom was in the arcades (you all remember it), it had something like 40 selectable characters in it. Now, you could go safe, and pick a 3 person team of Ryu, Iceman and Cable, and win almost every time. Or, you could go nutty, and pick Morrigan, Megaman, and Jill from Resident Evil. Would you win? Probably not, but you'd see more of the game, and probably have a bit of a better time doing it. Do I want to pick nothing but Krav Maga agents and raelin? Nah, I want to experiment, have a good time, and throw down with some good-natured competition. The kind where you don't withdraw from a climactic duel because you're ahead on points.

I only play eliminate the opponent scenarios so therefore the withdrawing because you are ahead in points atrategy does not come into effect.
I don't believe in handicapping. The best way for people to improve is to learn how to play and draft better. All handicapping does is lower you to their level whereas by not handicapping you are trying to bring them up to yours

Heroscape has such a high luck component, I'm not sure it's all that big an accomplishment to be undefeated.
I mean, I could start a thread asking, "Hey, was anybody else here born with just one kidney, like I was?" It would be an interesting fluke if anyone said yes, but it wouldn't tell me much about how good a Heroscape player they were. :)
(Or maybe I'm just making excuses, since I have to lose on a regular basis, or my 7- and 8-year-olds will stop playing with me.)

Not sure how I'm hadicapping myself. I don't just play to win. I play to enjoy the game, to use figures that don't get used often, to use them in various scenarios, and in various combinations (Except the Zettians. Zettians=poo. Remember that). Not always as successful as having a killer Airborne Elite and Raelin army, but often much much more entertaining to me. And I loves to throw down, even if it means that I lose. Not one much for turtling. I know I could get more wins if I picked different figs or hid at the back, or whatever, but really, the only score sheet is the one in my head, and wang-waving about the number of wins I have to a bunch of folks I've never met doesn't make me enjoy the game one iota more than I have been so far.

This sort of makes my point.
In order to remain undefeated, you have to be able to guarantee that you will invariably defeat your opponent regardless of luck.
The matchup you describe does that -- but only by assuming that one player is fundamentally lacking in the most basic aspects of game strategy.
So if a Heroscape player remains undefeated over a long period of time, it most likely tells us something about how bad the opponents are, not how good the undefeated player is.
countblah
August 20th, 2006, 10:28 AM
The only thing luck doesn't factor into: Grimnak's chomp on squads. If your opponent is ridiculous enough to space out his squads so that only one is in range of Grimnak every turn, then yes, you can defeat them without luck at all.
However, your opponent would still have to be that hobo I mentioned earlier, and since your army is
Airborne Elite,
Raelin,
Khosumet and
Zettian poo-bots,
You don't use Grimnak anyway. So all your figs are totally dependant on luck.

I'd say it says more about how good they are because in order to overcome extreme swings in luck one has to be really good

On luck in a game of chance: Anyone who has played a CCG and had any success can probably tell you that a properly constructed deck (and strategy of playing said deck) can make a huge difference. I used to play Yu Gi Oh with my son and I made a pretty good deck to play him. He would make a typical kid's deck. He would load it up with the heavy hitters that he thought were the best from the TV show. It would be very difficult to get the guys on the field and get the right combinations of cards. My deck, in contrast, was built around getting a card, either by drawing one of the multiples, or a card that would let me search the deck for it. Once that card was in play I could modify almost all of my creatures, which were also easy to get on the field. If I actually played to "win" I would usually beat him very quickly. If I went easy on him he would have the time to get the big baddies on the field and there was nothing I could do to win.
There is a lot in Heroscape you can do to minimize luck. Usually it involves playing with the numbers in your favor. There is still chance involved in a Krug with one life left attacking a Venoc Viper, but not much. That kind of situation is more about your opponents luck. Relying on Mindshackle to win is relying on luck. Playing with a good army, good strategy, and the numbers on your side creates its own luck.

Sometimes there are elements of luck that are just beyond your control.
The one game I lost with my Ullar Army ( Venonc Warlord, Armoc Vipers, and Aubrien Archers) was against nwojedi. Now, I don't mean to deminish nwo's skill or accomplishment. But, the reason he won that game the way he did (Could he have won under different circumstances? Yes, definately.) was because he successfully got the drop for his AE on the first round, and won initiative. Since the starting spaces were so small I had to bunch all my figures (primarily the Elves) together. This allowed him to take advantage of the AE's grenade before I even had a chance to move. As a result he eliminated all my Elves, save one, and won the game. Again, this was a great play by nwo. His drafting along with use of all his weapons promoted his success in that game, but the fact that the dice roll provided him with such a huge advantage from the outset thrust the game into the realm of luck as opposed to maneuver, attack, and defend.
BTW, I am not bitter.
Much.

I have no way to prove you are lying, and really you have no way to prove that you are telling the truth. I'm sorry if I sounded like I was calling you a liar. I don't have enough of a handle on you yet to make any kind of judgement either way. I would have to agree with other's sentiments that if you are undefeated you might want to branch out and play different opponents. There are many scapers here with reputations as being exceptional players. If I were a betting man I would bet that none of the "big boys" are undefeated. However. there may be others here that may fall under suspicion of lying with declarations of perfect win-loss records due to established personality.

I will be the first to admit that I have lost on multiple occasions. I happen to have a steller tournament record, but I have needed some amazing dice rolls in some of those games.
If you truly haven't lost yet, then you are not getting any better at the game for it. When I play against my six year old son I generally spot him 200 points for his army. Why? Because it is fun for him and good practice for me. Who cares if I lose?
When I play someone who is new to the game I generally let them pick an army for me.
If you have never lost a game, I am betting that you have played with the same army most of the time and against the same opponent most of the time. I am guessing that if you don't mix things up pretty quick, you are going to lose the interest of your only opponent.
Part of the fun of Heroscape is trying out all of the figures. Some work for me and some don't, but it would be foolish for me after spending money on the expansions not to gives the figures and game or two every once in a while.

See, when the Heroscape.net was the Heroscape site, i was undefeated back then. Butafter it went down, i thought to myself "Wow, im being an a****** by saying what I have been and no one really cares." So, then I played with my dad and my brother. The game was a 3 player FFA. My brother went straight for the high grounds, my dad stayed in his little corner, and I sent out Syvarris to attack my borther while my other figs stayed in the corner. Syvarris wiped out most of my brother army, consisting of Venoc Vipers, Warlord, and DW8K. He only had DW8K and Warlord left. then my dad attacked me with his best unit. Oh, did I mention that we were playing with 400 pts, and I gave my dad Charos for free? Well, charos practically wipes me out. then my dad sent the rest of his army at me. Also, my dad and my borother teamed up. Basically, I was the first to lose. then my brother backstabbed my dad, and my dad won the game. this was also his first game.
Point is, it doesnt matter if your undeafeated or not. You will lose someday. Unless you go against armies of 200 point value against your 1000 point army. You will always win with thos odds.

I lose constantly. But I totally don't mind. Back in the days when Marvel Vs. Capcom was in the arcades (you all remember it), it had something like 40 selectable characters in it. Now, you could go safe, and pick a 3 person team of Ryu, Iceman and Cable, and win almost every time. Or, you could go nutty, and pick Morrigan, Megaman, and Jill from Resident Evil. Would you win? Probably not, but you'd see more of the game, and probably have a bit of a better time doing it. Do I want to pick nothing but Krav Maga agents and raelin? Nah, I want to experiment, have a good time, and throw down with some good-natured competition. The kind where you don't withdraw from a climactic duel because you're ahead on points.
I couldn't have said it any better. I like picking guys I haven't used before or new combinations just to see how they work together. It's more fun that way.

Absolutely! I tend to roll well regardless of who I play, so when I kick butt with those that others thnk are worthless, it's like the Pearl Drops Toothpaste commercial, "MMMMM, It's a great feeling!" :banana:

After begging my wife to play for months, today she gave in and I bit the bullet big time. She gunned down my Sentinels with her Microcorp Agents -- out of the 3 I rolled a combined 12 blanks LOL.

I lost to my friend but that was when I didn't have my own heroscape, so he got all the good figures.

Hey, braxas sucks whenever people are adjacent to her, Charos just neeeds to be worn down, drones work nice if you can get them, drake is best when swarmed, krug, well, shoot him before he gets to you, and jotun is weak against the 4th mass.

Um, how about braxas and Charos? you can't have any three of them, maybe, if you use drake, but the point is, is that that is like a 800 point army.

Braxas and Charos is 420. How about Charos and Q9? There you got range and 10pts. left.

This was before I had my own Heroscape. He neglected to tell us about points, order markers or glyphs. I'm fine now though. I forced him to read the rulebook. :twisted:

Exactly!
Heroscape is a game, and games are fun, so the point isn't to use a boring samurai army every game. Heck, losing is fun!
