I was wondering if anyone else is having trouble with the red dice. Im on the rolling with it quest and it asks to use a cheaters 20 to defend your town. When I use one in my town nothing happens and the quest does not complete. Does anyone have advise I would apreciate it.

Same issue

Maybe nothing happens because your town has no blue shields. You would need to wait until you do. Then it should work.

Nope, when I have no blue shields and try to press the die it says 'No buildings are under attack'

When there are blue shields and I press it, the number of red die decreases and I collect from it but the task doesn't complete

Well, that's good to know. I am having the same problem as others. My 20 Cheaters quest is in my Taskbook showing Defense as incomplete (attack worked fine, for me).

I've successfully used the 20 Cheaters to Defend at least 2-3 times (possibly more, as there were a couple other attempts that may or may not count (should have counted) due to a personal user error issue). The times I'm sure I got it right, I was staring at 2-4 blue shield houses under active attack, I clicked the red die icon, was prompted to tap anywhere on the screen, I did so, and all the shields exploded into loot, which autocollected. I'm certain this is working as intended, but Quest just doesn't recognize the completion.

Sadly, I'm now currently out of Cheaters...

Same issue here. Saving my last cheater to finish the task.

Haha, same here

Just hope it works

OK, just got mine to work. Apparently I was doing it wrong the whole time.

When you are being attacked, tap on the cheater's die in the upper right corner. It prompts you to touch the screen to defend. Tap on a house that IS NOT being attacked. I'm not sure whether this defends all of your houses at once or what, but it worked for me - the screen flashed white, my die count went down by one and the quest cleared.

Why you have to touch a house that is not being attacked is beyond me, but whatever. :?

You'll also get more free ones randomly when defending/repairing attacks. I had 4 drop so far plus the pack prize.

I'm also having the same issue. I have a red die, but am not able to complete the quest.

This is how my Cheater Dies have been behaving all along, whether I tap an house not under attack or anywhere on the screen (except a defender's shield) as the on-screen instructions direct, my screen fades briefly to white, and all currently under attack houses are instantly defended.

After your post I tried it again this morning, my third attempt/die, and it still has not completed my quest.

I just saw some files get patched on my lunch break a couple minutes ago. I'm hoping maybe there's a fix in there. Does EA post Release Notes somewhere that I can look to check out bugfixes? I'd really hate to waste another (fourth) Die on this bug.

Destruction of your castle does not reset the nerd timer, so you don't lose production.

Are you sure about this? I was waiting for the two hours to be up last night, but found my castle wrecked and the timer at a full 2 hours, when it should have been nearly completed. I had 0 nerds at the time, so I would have noticed if I had accidentally picked up any that were generated.

No, I'm not 100% sure anymore about this. I was sure that I got my nerds yesterday when my castle was destroyed, and I've seen posts where others got their nerds as well, but some also seem to have their timer reset. It may be that, if the timer finishes before destruction you get your nerds and it doesn't matter whether the timer resets, but if your timer hasn't finished it resets and you have to wait longer for nerds. This is pure speculation at this point, though.

All in all, safer not to destroy a neighbour's castle with the cheater's dice - save those for random invaders!
