Use of dice in combat - by colour

The following charts show the different dice that come into play, depending on the number of battalions that are physically attacking or defending a particular territory. Note that the 'dice change thresholds' are different for attackers and defenders and that defenders are capped at the red dice.

ATTACKERS Battalions
White dice: 1-3
Yellow dice: 4-7
Orange dice: 8-12
Red dice: 13-18
Black dice: 19+

DEFENDERS Battalions
White dice: 1-6
Yellow dice: 7-12
Orange dice: 13-20
Red dice: 21+

Dice - numerical distribution by colours

This chart shows the different weighting of numbers on each of the coloured dice. It's clear to see that a white dice defending against a black attacker will have to rely greatly on the power of prayer.

WHITE: {1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,4,5,6}
YELLOW: {1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,6}
ORANGE: {1,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,5,5,6}
RED: {1,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,5,5,6,6}
BLACK: {1,2,3,4,4,5,5,5,6,6,6,6}
