According to this article on the other site the chance for the catapult to win one round is 32.5%. So the chance to win eight times in a row is 0.325^8 = 0.000123 = 0.0123%

That's 1:8099.
1 in 8099 is still incredibly unlucky. I wonder what the odds of that happening to an infantry unit are

For comparison winning lotto is around 1 in 10 000 000. In fact you have a better chance winning lotto 2 weeks in a row then getting that result. Maybe you should buy a ticket
Chances of winning such a battle in Civ AND winning Lotto on the same week are now very slim... Don't buy a ticket !

Hey, I meant "losing the battle" really. There was little chance I'd make the mistake, but I did it.
