    I want to know if any of you ever saw such a high luck number. Sure I saw +20 couple of times. But this is for me exceptional. Funny thing is that the other player who had the luck even didn't win. But with a little better game play ofcourse he would have crushed me :)

    There has been a lot of discussion on this, but basically raw luck scores are not comparable.  A luck of 20 in a very long game is nothing, but a luck of 20 in a very short game is extraordinary.

    The +30 luck was achieved after 10 turns. I would say that is pretty quick :)

    The number of turns is not all that relevant.  Much more important is the # of battles, or times an offensive die attacked a defensive die, which in this case was 626 for Filip. 

    His total of 323 kills was about 11% better than the expected 291.  We'd need to know more about the types of attacks (3v2, 2v2,2v1 etc.) in order to determine what the standard deviation is for these battles.

    My guess is somewhere in the vicinity of +2, but not far beyond if at all.

    As M57 notes, I think it is better to describe luck as a ratio of actual kills/expected kills.  Plus or minus 10% is pretty significant to me.

    Not spent the time to figure out how the luck stats are calculated so not sure how this measures up, but just finished a game where the winner, Knosken2, had a +71.25 luck factor:
