even if u dont like the fact that the 'retarded difficulty' in a game is not equall to making a game hard, this game is still retarded. there are other games that increase the amount of armies on each territory based on your total amount of nations captured...now that's logical, cuz I've taken 40 countries, then all my structure gets bigger. being harrased every turn by a 5 boys army on my forgotten end near the arctic sea next to where the map can't be even scrolled isn't fun at all. finally, if this is all about beating the game in 1 turn and a half, then that's not for the taste of everyone, there are those of us who enjoy having large armies and taking our time ON PURPOSE, too bad we cannot enjoy having the enemy surrounded with 1 tiny nation because every time they're surrounded they keep moving like you don't exist.

It would be cool to have a naval landing card so you could threaten coastlines. It would need to give some sort of general warning to the target a turn ahead of time so it wouldn't be too powerful. But it would be fun. =)

to beat first level in 6 turns put all armies on S.Europe and attack only middle east second turn attack both india and ukraine from middle east with a ratio of 2:1 (ex 9 total army would be 4 on ukraine/5 on india). Turn 3 get siam . Turn 4 indonesia. Turn 5 both New Guinea & W Aussie. Turn 6 E. Aussie. Note if you fail to capture restart,if ur lucky cpu wont capture indonesia before you capture siam (must capture ukraine if you failed to capture if this happens)

Level 3 gold medal involves starting in high army/territories ratio areas since you have 3 opponents and they're fairly spaced out, best start imo is the Caucasus since it takes some time for opponent to reach you and gives 6 army for 6 territories and is near west china 6 army for 7 territories and India 4 army for 4 territories, this allows you to expand really fast which will really help along the under 25 turn win

Can we PLEASE have an Impossible badge for completing the two challenges? There are so few games good enough to deserve one - would be lovely to reward the blood & sweat put into one that really is worth playing that much....

Game is unbalanced as crap, I find myself battling against 2 AI's constantly while the other one takes over 50% of the world, thus fking me up.

didnt like. whenever i get almost ALL THE MAP with THOUSANDS OF MILLIONS OF ARMIES the cpu starts bothering me with tiny groups attacking and weakening my borders, for some reason they keep spawning and spawning even when the cpu has almost no territories and in the end i end up getting so bothered that i quit. they use armies of around 70 and I have 3 or 4 of those on each edge but it's not enough, I have control of 70% of the map but for some reason it's never enough :S plus even if it has 1 single territory left it keeps living by moving to nearby spots... so dumb...

In the insane challenge, I cannot attack from Anadyr N to Tasmania S, because of the speaker symbol, which is right above(?) the country Anadyr N, when I zoom out. And when I zoom in, I cannot click on Tasmania S because it isnt on the screen. Clicking on the red arrow near Anadyr N wont work.

Hint on Level1's gold medal: don't move as the tutorial told you so.Instead, on 1st turn, attack the Middle East. 2nd turn , take Ukraine(total rule over Europe) and India. 3rd turn, Siam. 4th turn, Indonesia.On 5th, attack New Guinea and Western Australia.And finally on 6th turn take Eastern Australia to complete your conquest.

@xexes. it is VERY possible. I have done it. The trick is to map out the shortest route possible. Hint: it is NOT the bee-line.

Okay i have beat the crazy challenge twice now without save/reload.
Here is what you need to defeat it:
1. If you are placed anywhere near Europe or Asia you are pretty much screwed so just restart until you start in a good position. I personally like Canada the best as a starting point.
2. You also need to be lucky with your enemies position. They can't be too near you in the start and the 2 allied groups need to fight each other. If you take on 2 enemies who are allied its hard or impossible to defeat them.
3. In the start just expand and take as many continents as you can and reach some key positions were its easy to defend.

4. When you have gotten some safe continents and get a good supply of army every turn and you're fighting against a big enemy/enemies don't only focus on trying to take their continents but if you can also attack as many different continents as possible from the enemy. If you take just 1 territory from 2-3-4 of his continents he loses a lot of troop resources and won't be able to defend his continents.
5. Save/load function makes it easier to defeat crazy challenge. So if you're really frustrated just first defeat it with save/reload and then do it without "cheating" because you learn a lot from it.
I hoped this helped you! :)

The first mission - level 1 in 6 turns - is possible in 6 turns, don't comment these things before you tried everything, and specially don't think that your smarter than the badgemakers. - Anybody got some hints for the insane challenge?

I have wasted many hours on this game, and I don't regret it either, but I spent 5 hours on Rebuild 2, and WarLight to me was time better spent. Sometimes I feel like a real life army general planning out attacks based on success and unit numbers. This game makes me realize how much I like the turn-basted strategy better than real time, but that doesn't mean RTS' like Warcraft III and Starcraft are bad, I just like turn-based a little better. Also THREE YEARS!? Was most of that procrastination or map making?

this game was extremely laggy on mission 2 it eventually got to the point to where i could no longer play the game do to massive lag

I love some of the details like seeing more information about a country in wikipedia. I also like being able to click on a territory, seeing the neighbor countries, then send in my reinforcements from the exploded map. Great polish!

Just move those silly mute buttons to a side menu so they aren't blocking the top right of the map and you've got a 5/5! Heck, even with that it's still 5/5. Good work!

now that just was a weird european challenge...I started off well, game my reinforcements and the first airlift to my ally, who was able to gain a lot of ground. weirdly the enemy was almost pissed off at me and started attacking only me, all the time...imagine that, I had to send the 3rd and last airlift to Wales!!! however I thought I'd not give up, since I saw my ally gaining ground rapidly, and in the end he was in france helping me out...after that however he blocked me for the last 10 turns, I couldn't get to the enemy behind the red wall, so I simpoly airlifted my troops to the front and in the end basically my ally won it in 30 turns :D

In Iceland in the Europe map (the custom game one) there are several errors. "Norovestur", "Noroaustur" and "Suour" are supposed to be "Nordvestur", "Nordaustur" and "Sudur", as the letter ð transliterates to d, not o. This needs to be fixed.

@ jwilkes999: I got a gold star in a couple tries on level 3. I think starting position is important...Try starting from Antarctica or Australia. Lots of choke points, lots of expanding options.

I don't get why people vote down comments that are talking about the enemy having armies appear from no where. I can tell you for sure that this does happen sometimes, obviously there is a bug somewhere, why people vote this down is beyond me, in the ping idle game you all go on about the bugs and they get fixed, that's the point right?
Actually you can prove that it does not happen by looking at the game history when the game is over. Every time you thought the AI cheated you can see why you're wrong.

In the third stage, I missed one country to the far right of the screen since I windowed my browser (I was watching a tv show on the side). This lead to me missing to conquer it at the end of the game, so I needed an extra turn to do that. I finished in 26 turns, where 25 turns would have gotten me the gold medal. RAAAGGGEEE!

To me, definitely the best web game ever. I love strategic games, and this one even has an editor with various maps! An I like that you included the real states of Poland and Germany :) thank you !

@bluej216. after clicking the reinf. card, click on one of your 120 circles. THEN, click the next button. click where you want them to land, and then click next again, and finally select how many troops you want. most people forget to click the next button.

Awesome stuff, thank you. I loved playing this: well-implemented, smart, slick, and really builds on a classic board game in intelligent rather than gimmicky ways. If everything on Kong was this good I'd never get anything else done....

I HATE level 3!!! Gold star on 2 and Challenge first try. Figured out how to get 1 by myself. Even using "save-stating" technique people suggest I can't get gold on 3....
