Evony constantly tweaking combat mechanics. We can't get complacent in our tactics.
Yes, there was always that rare 10 that would incur massive, unexpected losses. Lately, the occurrences of that happenstance seems to have been increasing. I think a few more random factors have been added to the combat equations. This will increase the amount of statistical outliers. We should see more 10 hits with more losses than usual, but also 10 hits with oddly few losses.
Keep in mind the greater losses will probably outweigh the lesser. Let's say there's a factor of two difference on the losses in one of those outlier battles. A player that averages 10,k losses will see a 20,k loss on the greater outlier, and a 5,k loss on the lesser outlier. That's 25,k losses in two battles compared to 20,k with the player's average.
