Could you please add in random names for the AI playing? I'd really prefer to feel like I'm actually pitting myself against something other than AI 2, AI 3, etc. Do this and I will love you forever.

At first I rated this game 4 stars. Good, but not great. After I spent like the tenth hour playing it, I felt like I had to give it a 5 instead.

remember if you do not like a part you can create a custom game with that part out. you can make the game game dependent on strategy and not luck if you want to.

Would still like to now why I'm unable to Save a game. It's frustrating to have to repeat the levels over and over if I close my browser session.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G I was actually looking for an online version of War a few days ago, and then I came to Kong and saw this. I was like "FizzerWL must be Jesus" hahahaha

The game is more luck based than a fun game should be. When you see your opponent having armies of 100+ units and you're making only 29 (plus fighting against another opponent) - there's no strategy that can beat that. I have no desire to play this game anymore.

I have never played Risk in my life before this game -- I was satisfied with chess. This game made me rethink that. 5/5.

@ 111bbb: oh I see, you're talking about the insane challenge...yeah, that's actually the idea behind it, you are fighting a coalition of all AIs on your own and they only fight you. they are not supposed to attack each other. that's why you need perfection and have a good idea about when and where to play your abandon cards.

@julez81 .I agree,but I have only problem with the last level.
I can beat the crazy level,not easy,but possible.If u get a good starting territory u can do it.
But the last level.THey attack me from 4 sides,its OK.
But they build up 50-60 armies ONLY against me,what means they dont attack each other in the south part os the map.
It looks they are allies,but not.Why better for them atack my big armies (40-50)?
I saw video on youtube,they are just camping on the south area,and sometimes attack each other.If u are lucly,and they atack each other on the south part,u have chance to win.
But if all of the enemies take the big armies to your borderline u are dead,thats all.
So if u are not lucky,u CANT win,doesnt matter how good you are.
Even if u are the best strategy player of the world,without a BIG luck u cant win the last level.
Thats why I said,the good strategy is not enough,which is not really fair in a REAL stratehy game.
But I like this game :D

Love the game, it's very addictive. For fun I've been playing level 3. What's odd & frustrating is that I was able to beat Level 3 several times initially, and now I keep getting beat like a red-headed step-child. AI owns me!
Really fun game. Great job.
Okay, now back to being thrashed by the AI like Charlie Sheen on a week long bender. Winning!

@ Boeserich: yeah, the enemy can do that just like you can, if you control enough bonus territories. the european challenge is tough, because you have to assess the situation after each turn, considering if you need airlifts or reinforcements yourself, or if it's better to give them to your ally. usually the enemy concentrates on either you or your ally. reinforce whoever is more under pressure.
yesterday I even won after being thrashed by the enemy who was already in great britain at the time of the 3rd airlift. however he didn't have reinforcements for attacking both me and my ally, so I airlifted 119 troops to Wales, pushing the enemy to northern france...meanwhile the ally took most of central europe and came to the rescue, thanks to me taking on the enemy the ally AI could actually win the challenge for me :)

@ 111bbb: no mate, the enemy plays by the same rules and they do attack each other. Sometimes when playing the crazy level it happens that the one enemy coalition completely eradicates the other coalition without me actually being involved. however in that case it's very hard to win, as they attack you from everywhere.
anyway, I'm still not good enough for the insame challenge, but I win crazy most of the times when I start from a spot I like (I prefer africa to start from, but canada works well too, although the game takes longer, since pushing back everyopponent from north america is quite tricky)...but you'll see, the more strategic you become via practiice, the easier it gets. the crazy challenge isn't so difficult after all...the insame level however almost requires perfection...I'm still too weak for it...but I already know how accomplished I will feel when I finally beat it :D

I like this game. Only thing bugging me is that an enemy can reinforce one of his territories, even when it is completely surrounded by your own territories which doesn't really make sense. So in Europe challenge the enemy can simply put 50 or so units into a tiny territory surrounded by my territories and ruin my stuff because of that.

HArd level means for me :plan every movement,and think tvice before u do anything.
But the last 2 level is unreal.The enemies never attack each other,but me.
Need a BIG BIG luck to win,which is a joke in a REAL strategy game.
If u r not extremly lucky IMPOSSIBLE to win.
I the last level after 14 rounds 4 enemy attack me 4 sides with 50-60 armies.
But they keep areas only 1 army,and dont attack each other,this is unreal.
Anyway,this is not a bad game,is u fix the luck faktor will be one of the best ones.

Does anyone else think it's strange that you only get 4 extra armies per turn for South America, despite it having 8 territories?

When attacking places than an allied AI attacks in the same turn - The allied AI takes control of the army you sent.
Ruined my entire game due to the AI pissing away my units.
good game though :)

It's annoying how sometimes the dialog boxes pop up out of view of the screen. Also, on the Europe map it's hard to click on some of the countries at the very top right because of the sound buttons in the way. Other than some cosmetic/UI issues it's a great game.

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....
