Where the hell they took 13 armies in besieged Iceland? Where is the base reinforcements come from? How they can travel from Australia to Moscow in one turn?

I was wondering if you made the luck option is the custum game as a difficulty thing? If this is the case then could you make it more explicit in the tutorial for custum games and if not then different difficulties would be great.

My only complaint is that the battles don't go to completion. It's irritating when I have troops retreating from a battle they could have won if they had continued to fight. There is also a bug where the audio for a game (in progress or being watched through the history) will continue even after going to the main menu and even after starting a new game.

If the Dev said it was built around the game Risk would the pedantic folks be quiet?
If the dev was to say that though...would some lawyer somewhere froth at the mouth and then try to sue him?
Either way, I enjoy this game. Yes it is similar to risk, which means there isn't too many new things for me to learn :P This makes is awesum.

Multiplayer would be nice (not complaining), just an idea, and as a huge fan of RISK I can say this is what RISK should be now.

I love it how in the original risk you could attack as many times as you like with a single army, but in this each army can attack only once a turn. Oh ya rewind 3 years, game on this site called World Rebellion 2, same thing, less dramatic music.
I find it humorous how you first point out that the game mechanics work completely differently, then call it the same as another game. Which is it? It can't be both!

Is it possible to beat the Europe map? I try to conquer France and then Spain, and the computer just pools every army into groups of 200 and smashes my defenses...

Dear FizzerWL you go spend those 1500$ on something good you deserved it. (MW3, BF3, Skyrim, Xbox Live, Revelations, New Computer Equippment Charty IDK) :D

@Raferas : Level one is easier than it seems if you understand how turn order works. Take Ukraine on turn 2 (not 1) and then always order the left over troops in Ukraine to move first before your main army. This causes Delay and gives your troops the defense advantage. Go to the Wiki to find out more [Custom Game > the little (?)]

Suggestion: Keep track of what game settings I use, so that I don't have to redo the settings every time I want to play.
On WarLight.net, you can save your settings as a template and then create games based off of the template. Unfortunately the Kong version doesn't have templates.

I beat Crazy - Level 5 in 49 turns, and here's how I did it (after being frustrated multiple times):
You NEED a defensible location in which to colonize. That means you cannot start in Europe or Asia. I started in Saudi Arabia, and immediately went south to colonize Africa. No CPUs were in Africa, so I was able to capture all of it for about 19 armies/turn.
Once captured, I waited for enemies to exhaust themselves fighting each other. I eventually captured the Mid-East, and South America. After capturing them, I kept waiting and watching to ensure that the CPUs fighting weren't imbalanced. The key is to never push too hard on one CPU team as to not imbalance the game (which will cause you to lose eventually as one CPU team will eventually gang up on you, which usually puts you in a bad situation).
Hopefully that helps. I could see (potentially) starting and defending in North America, but that would be about the only other place that may work, other than Africa.

Great game. A few small things I would like to see- Use the blank space on the left when viewing history to show total army sizes, territories controlled, and reinforcements. Also shrink the slider for history or allow for it to be resized manually. I'd also love for more of the options at warlight.net to be available on Kong. More custom maps would definitely be a plus!

This is simply an OUTSTANDING game. 5/5 I would give it a 6 if I could. In fact, I remember purchasing Risk II so many years ago and the bugs made it unplayable. Thank you FIZZERWL for creating a well balanced and fun game -- better than the commercially available on. Party on dudes!

to Kulshedra// It's easy if you can take control of Ukraine(using 2 armies) and Middle East(using 3 armies) at the very first turn. it's 12% * 78% = 9.36% chance, but just try it 10 times. after that, just marching to enemy's territory and you can easily win it.

I think it's dumb that cheaters and/or hackers take the top spots. For instance, the thought that Panraven did the Crazy challenge in 11 days, or the Insane challenge in 13 days, is absolutely ridiculous. What's the glitch you're using, bud? And why can't you beat it legit? It would literally take 13 moves or more just to cover the entire map with no enemies whatsoever, let alone fighting them. Not cool. As of today, I'm assuming only four people have actually beaten the insane challenge--kudos to you guys!

Great game. I love these kinds of games. Not graphically intensive and is pure number crunching but if you are like me who likes strategy games, gameplay>graphics.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, as I've only just started playing this game, but I believe it's impossible to cross the necessary areas and defeat the enemy in the six turns required to get the gold star for the first level.... Can anyone disprove or confirm that?

To Ace_Blue: Board games have inspired many pc games as well as pc game have inspired many board games. They work together, helping each other improve as much as possible.
Since the map division is not the same, the card system isn't the same, and the fog system is not possible on the board game, this one cannot be considered a ripoff. Yes, the mechanics are similar, but saying that this game is a ripoff is the same as considering warcraft, starcraft, age of empires, age of mythology, dune, and many other games just ripoffs from the great original strategy game (which I don't know the name ^^' )

Very fun game, but only 1 game at a time for me. Excellent job Dev, you certainly deserve game of the month. The UI is friendly, the visuals are sleek, smooth. And gameplay is relatively easy and straight forward to get into, and fun to boot.
