Interesting, I love how you added Antarctica and divided Asia into smaller regions in the large Earth map. Makes me for a whole new host of Risk strategies.

5/5 without a doubt
HOWEVER i found challenge europe just right, while the crazy level is... crazy, and i lost interest quite fast. i suggest you could have kept the difficulty level the same as challenge europe or just a tad higher, in different scenario. that would have kept me in it.

When you click a country to deploy troops it will display a small box, into which I can type how many troops to deploy. This box does not show for the first X number of turns. Is that intentional?

Bug? Eliminated by pink, went back through the history. They had about 3 territories and 20 units on a map with only +6 reinforcement cards half way through the game. Next turn they had 150 units in those spots and TOOK EVERYTHING

Found a bug. I used reinforcements card and get 11 armies to deploy. Then I screw up one of orders and clicked 'Start Over'. But then.. i had only 5 armies to deploy..

Great game!
But one thing: If i attack a country on the right side, the window where i can select the number of units to attack will be half or more outside the screen so i have to drag it onto the screen. Can you fix that so the window appears on the left maybe? (I hope you know what i mean)
The attack dialog pops up so that your mouse cursor is over the 'okay' button. This allows for double-clicking when you just want to attack with all armies, which is what you want most of the time. When you need to adjust something, you can drag it back onto the map. Zooming your browser in helps it happen less often, as it gives more space for the game.
I'm not sure what level you were on, but if it was crazy they could have. Teams share a pool of cards - this works to your advantage in Europe but against you in Crazy and Insane. A team of 3 can get a card in one turn.

ok, just had a very quick game, but I bombed too early to see the huge numbers appear. Saying that, I did notice this bug and so here are screenshots. It could be indicative of a larger problem.
Round 2, the AI doesn't have any regions, yet somehow is able to grow by 11 armies. The graph shows only 5, but the step-by-step history shows adding 4 and adding 7.

Please hover over the red button in the top-right and screenshot that. This will make it easier, too, as you'll only need one screenshot - it will show what they're deploying, what cards they played and what their income is. I'm guessing this case is explained by them playing a card, but I can't be 100% sure since the screenshots only show part of the game window. Please include the whole game window - I can't even see what level this is.

So, has anyone been able to beat any of the "Challenge" stages? I was pretty close on the "Crazy" stage, but the computer stopped attacking each other and started focusing on me...

FIZZERWL, don't get me wrong, you put together a beautiful game here.. It's just that, even when I looked at the history it was wrong. When I looked at the chart, the light blue (for example) was gaining less troops per turn than me by far.. then suddenly, in one turn, it gained 200 troops taking it's total above mine (and also for that turn, the troops per turn WAY above mine). Anyway, if I get some time to play it again, I'll post you a screenshot.
When the game is over, you can go back to that point in history and you'll be able to see the entire map. Then you can add up their bonus income, add 5 base, and also access the orders list in the upper right to see what cards they played that turn and exactly how many they deployed. Add all these up, and it should match up.

I really like the game, but one thing that gets irritating is when you're playing in the normal zoomed-in mode and you go to transfer units/attack, and the box pops up and half of it is off to the side of the screen and I have to drag it over.
The attack dialog pops up so that your mouse cursor is over the 'okay' button. This allows for double-clicking when you just want to attack with all armies, which is what you want most of the time. One thing that helps a lot is zooming your browser in, as that gives more space and makes it happen less often.

I managed to beat 1-3 on the first try, level 4 took 2 tries, but level 5 was very hard. Took about 10-15 attempts. Level 6 seems pretty daunting; I think I'm going to get some sleep first.

The volume and music buttons get in the way on the world map when trying to attack alaska from Siberia. It's the only problem I've found with this game.

hello :) ... I'm currently playing this game and finished level 3 just a minute ago - has been nice so far :) ... now up to the challenge mode i thought ... map looks nice ... to the developer/s ... I noticed one mistake but I'm not mad :) ... The game's "Lower Austria" is "Upper Austria" in reality and the other way round :)

Great game. There are some suggestions, especially useful for team games:
1. Give AI players of the same team similar color - easier identifying team groups.
2. In a territory region that contain several sectors: if some sectors are controlled by a player and other sectors are controlled by his ally, (ie: all sectors of this region are controlled by players of the same team), the player controls the core sector should be able to take the army producing bonus. That will eliminate the nonsense action that attacking ally for a full control of a region. But the map files will need to mark core sectors by a dot or some markings.

The enemies on the third stage is completely overpowered. The first and second stages were just the right kind of difficulty, but on the third stage, the enemies on there are buffed.

I wonder if FizzerWL gets tired of telling people how to use the zoom out feature. A lot of questions could be answered if people invested the extra 5 seconds to think about how to solve their problem. It's not like Monopoly, the game isn't [i]that[/i] hard.

I like this a lot, its really fun and the Europe level is cool though not particularly balanced for normal skirmishes. For people who are trying to beat Europe airlift to the russians, you have to keep the German busy in the east and secure France at least if you want to win.
I wish you had included an attack queue though, the fact that you can only make one attack with an army unless you go multidirectional is a big step in gameplay down from risk. It gimps turtles and makes the game a bit of a desperate race. One the other hand it does bring some tactical depth to the game so I guess if you could just add the option in a menu?
Also Africa is a bit imbalanced relative to the other continents. North America is too, but it always has been and its big enough here that covering the entire continent is a real challenge, though if you do you basically won.
Finally some variety in the cards would be nice.
Cool thanks for the fun game i'm banging my head against the insane wall.
Thanks! If you play custom games, you can enable multi-attack which lets you travel long distances in a single turn. There are also 12 types of cards available - big variety.

Challenge Europe is too tough. The other guy just starts with way too many armies. The only thing I have not tried is airlifting to Sevastopol or someplace like that and tearing up through the bottom. I did find a bug though - If you play a reinforcement card and go back from phase 2 or 3 it is removed and you lose the reinforcements.

my only problem with this is when you have two armies in different areas attack the same area. instead of calculating the attack with your combined forces it resolves the attacks individually. Other then that this is a great game 5/5

found an exploit: add armies to a country,go to transfer stage,send all of them to a country,go back to deploy army stage,remove the armies frm that country and put them in another,the country that the army was originally in still invades with those armies,for example you have 12 armies to place,put all 12 in china and send all 12 from china to mongolia,go back to deploy stage,remove them from china,put them in ukraine and attack ural with all 12 armies
You need to watch it more carefully. The attack will stay in place, but it will only attack with the armies that end up there. In fact, you can type any number into the attack dialog - try just opening it and typing 999. It will enter the order, but it's still not an exploit since it will just use as many armies as it can.

to win the crazy challenge: you should spawn in southern Africa or South America, this spots are always the best. Normally by spawning in here, you have the whole continent for yourself and won't be bothered. During this time, build up and allow them to kill each other and then when they finally reach you, use the strategy that suits you the best.

Great, enjoyable game. My only complaint is that a lot of times the text goes off screen. It would be nice if the text were too far to the right of the map, if it would overlay to the left instead of further right and off screen. This also applies to deploying troops on and attacking maps that are on the far right.

i played risk back in the 80's for complete week-ends with friends. This game is amazingly well done and made a great agame even better as far as im concerned.
The only little little little problem is the order of attacks. Sometimes u want to attack with big army first and have a medium sized army clean the rest but instead the medium attacks first >.<
5/5

Not my kind of game, but I'm not a troll. 5/5. I know people who like this kind of game will definitely like it! Good job FizzerWL!

Out of curiosity, what's the threshold for gold star on insane? 38 turns doesn't do it, and that was a VERY tough fight to get it done in that time.

the damned mute button makes it impossible to attack from alaska to anadyr (zoomed out)..zoomed in doesnt work either because u can't see them both on the same screen and no (apparent) keys slide the map left or right
Unfortunately some people have found ways to post fake scores to Kongregate's list. Any scores less than these are most likely cheaters:
Level 1: 6
Level 2: 11
Level 3: 16
Europe Challenge: 15
Crazy Challenge: 17
