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....

Sequel! More Maps! Sequel! possibly animations with the battles but overall I like the game but if you decide to add animations allow in the options menu to automatically skip them if you want to just incase it takes too long or your just having like 10 battles a turn

This game is great! addicted after first pla. huge huge bummer though: My games dont save? That makes it very annoying because games take a while to beat and when you have other places to go or do... Ya know? Besides that, amazing. 5/5

Warning: it adds 1 to the number of turns displayed - i.e. when it says "turn 24" it means "this is turn 25, you have already lost the badge". Really frustrating when getting the hard badge :(.

My suggestion for Europe Challenge: There are two things you want to do 1) spread south attempting to take France, Spain, and Portugal (in that order). Once you have those secured, take Italy from the bottom route. 2) While all of that is going on you are going to get Airlift cards - use those cards to send reinforcements TO YOUR AI PARTNER. The AI is a HUGE help in beating this map in 24 turns so you CANNOT let them get overrun. I also passed one of my original groups of 50 and about 3-4 turns of reinforcements to the AI through Northern Scotland to Western Norway.

In the players' statistics, there is even a question mark behind the values of the opponents, if there isn't any fog anymore. Why?

Anyone else have the issue where all of the sudden the CPU opponent takes a section without being able to reach it. I have had this happen several times where my borders are secure and then all of the sudden BAM...purple has 8 armies in the middle of a continent?!?!

@bjhamer sort of. total armies received = 5+area bonuses (for self, dont think it counts it if its jointly owned between a team)+cards played. Theres no benefit for part owning an area, an no benefit based on total number of territories (besides tactical and area based bonuses
