The game plays a lot like the original risk and you can win with the same strategy. Just go to Australia and build andbuild and build.

So, moves/commands from each turn are executed in the order in which the player(s) make(s) them? As opposed to "all commands by one player are executed, and then all commands from an AI player are executed, and so on." If former is indeed the case, then I think that should be mentioned (or perhaps made a little more clear) as that has a profound impact on the strategies involved. Either way, I appreciate the response and the information. It certainly has an impact on the gameplay.
Correct - your orders are interleaved with all of the other player's orders. If watch the turns instead of skipping them it should be more clear what's happening. The second link under the Help menu has a complete explanation of how everything works if you want to learn all of the details.

Love it!!!! Somehow you made it so far better then risk. The only thing is that the 'dialog windows' keep appearing outside the screen when clicking a country near the edge. Sometimes so far out that you can get to it with the cursor
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.

Personally, I was thoroughly enjoying this game up until i realized there's - what I consider to be - a "flaw" in the rules. If I'm attacking from one region to another with my entire army, the defeated army should not be able to attack *through* my invading army, and conquer the region I'm attacking from. Now, it can be argued that this should be allowable, but for me personally, it's maddeningly frustrating to sit there and simply swap the same two territories over and over again, until you're able to get it completely surrounded with far more troops than you need, just to make sure the defeated army doesn't squirt out somewhere else. It simply isn't fun to chase an enemy army around in circles for 15 turns. Sorry. Not how I prefer to spend my time.
Change that rule though, and this is easily a 5-star game.
If you watch the turn, I think you'll get a better understanding of what's going on. The person who's attack happens first often is at a disadvantage - try to execute the attack really late in your turn, and you'll come out on top.

Omg! Better than WR2 [world rebellion 2] if this gets a multiplayer i will have to go to the ER because I would have literally exploded with hapiness!

Okay, just one major flaw as I see it: on the level 3 world map, it's not uncommon for one guy to spawn in the western hemisphere alone. That guy is virtually guaranteed to win if he doesn't play like a total idiot or get horribly unlucky in combats because of the the fact that North America provides a large income and it's very easy to control the choke points. Even if someone were to start in South America (with a guy in North America), they are virtually no threat because South America only has 4 income for the entire 8 territory area; that guy is better off relocating to Africa or something. Meanwhile, the other three players will be killing each other to try to make a decent income in Eurasia, so eventually the guy who holds the Americas will be snowballing over them with 90 army groups.
Level 3 and the Crazy challenge are the two levels with random start points, and there is luck involved. It's possible to win from any configuration but some are harder than others. You can start the level over a few times to get a start you like.

I represents Hetalia Axis Powers (APH) global fans group to play this fantastic game that is related to World Map. Thank you for sharing.

This is awesome. Fog of war is the best thing to happen to Risk. My one complaint is that the dark grey player is really confusing at first (I couldn't tell if it was neutral territory, or what...)

Its a nice game, but what ruined it for me is how you placed the geography of Canada. Being Canadian, your equivalent would be like me labelling Texas as Florida. It is *Northwest Territories*, and you actually labelled Manitoba and Alberta as Ontario and British Colombia as Alberta. :(

Ok at first i was like, bla bla bla you made risk... congrats. But then i stage 3 made it larger... this is better than risk. Nice job. Glad I played past 2 levels.
I tried to add a fullscreen button but Kongregate doesn't allow it. You can zoom your browser in for more space, or play on WarLight.net which allows you to use your entire screen.

Wow, less than five minutes ago I emailed Fizzer about a problem with the game, and now I look on Kongregate and it's here? Weird coincidence. I didn't really think it was a game that would ever come to Kong though.

I don't know, this seems a pretty Risky game - I don't know if I can Risk it. Hmm... doesn't this almost seem like some old board game? Anyone care to Risk a guess?

You should be able to change the colors of your AI opponents, i had two of them the same red color and it was very confusing :s

@fizz regarding alaska-kamchatka: perhaps you could make it so that the map can spin? (although it might be difficult)

Brain: "Pinky, are you pondering what i'm pondering?" Pinky: "I think so brain, but where're we going to find a duck and a hose at this time of night?" Brain: "*sigh* no you nincompoop! If this game were to be made multiplayer the world would be so consumed with winning it would create a distraction large enough for me to take over the world!"

if there isnt there should be a way to cancel 1transaction ata time cause i accidently put something and had too reset a whole phase
You have to zoom out so that you can see both at the same time (zoom buttons are in the bottom right corner of the map). I agree this is a rough spot - this is something I need to improve.

There seems to be a problem for cross-map attacks, at least on the big map - whenever I select a region, and then use the mouse to scroll over to the one I want to attack, it de-selects the region.

5 out of 5. Excelent game!
On further versions o new ones it would be great to add a new tactical level: Once you arrange your armies and give the orders to atack, a hex-based grid could appear where you command the armies towards the enemy territory.
I know the game will drop the "Risk" side of it and its not a new idea (besides the fact that it will take a longer time to complete), but seeing the level of work you putted in this game I cannot pass the oportunity to say this.

To beat level 1 in 6 turns, attack Saudia Arabia the first turn and keep heading for Australia. Attack Ukraine your second turn to get the Europe bonus.
Level 3 has random starts so it can be useful for new players to re-start a few times to get a spot they like. Starting in smaller bonuses is better, since you can get your first bonus faster. After that just expand quickly - you want to catch the AIs while they're still squabbling with eachother. If you're too slow, one gets dominance and then is too big to take down. If you lose, surrender and look at history to figure out what went wrong.
