I played it on your site and I must say the music makes a HUGE difference.
If you bring the version here over to your site, I would play it on your awesome maps with multiplayer.
However, Kongregate is more then enough, such an amazing game.

Exceptional game. You seemed to have thought of everything when it comes to the user inferface, making easy to handle yet challenging to play. I easily just lost almost 6 hours to this game.

This is a great game indeed. Risk-based, yes, but with a fog of war, and a Diplomacy-style orders system where all the players give instructions simultaneously each turn before they're carried out. I love it! 5/5.

I think AI should be changed. For example on Crazy Challenge you have to fight against all players alone! kind impossible. I surrendered and could analyse that, the last AI players had all their troops atacking me. On theirs frontiers, only 1 troop at each territory, and they didn't atack each other (even being more easier). Ok, they killed the other 3 AIs, but, even having 4 continents and some countries on others, we are talking about 3 AIs getting all their reforces on my frontiers and none on theirs. Kind unfair. Now I can really say that high scores are exploits. Tha game is awesome, but if you kill the chances to win the game, it gets boring!
Crazy is indeed quite difficult. Some players like really challenging levels, but if you don't you can always create your own levels using Custom Game.

This game has potential, but I find myself clicking on buttons on the left side too often. This game should be streamlined and it could be one of the best on Kongregate.

Question. Some enemy's at the insane challenge gain more bonus-armys then i would expect due to the game-rules (land/card/+5 bonus). Is this a mistake, or just some way the increase the difficulty?
The AIs play by the exact same rules as you do - the difficulty only comes from that it's a 5v1. One thing that's easy to miss are the cards - teammates share the same pool of cards, so the team of 5 gets cards 5 times faster than you.

By the way, great game, I'm totally hooked to it, I even made an account on the web to play online, if membership wasn't so "expensive" I would pay for it (expensive considering you can find games like Metro 2033 for 2.50$), I think I've found the way to get gold stars on the 4 first maps. Waiting for badges now it got the API.

Am I the only one who actually was bored enough to beat level 1, except 3 places in "Australia" and managed to amass an army of 1002 men?
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). Or you can click one, then click More Info, then select the other from the list.

FINALLY, i beat the CRAZY CHALLENGE!!!! The best strategy is to make use of the competition between the two teams. You constantly have to try to keep the strenght of the two teams equal, so they continue killing each other and you can steadily build your army. When you meet two competing armys, try to retreat to a "save" place and build your army. My favorite start is in Africa, then building via the south pole to south-america and australia. Of course you'll need luck. When this won't help, you can use the savegame to go a step back when you know what the enemy is planning. grz

it seems that the bonus for south america is underpowered for the number of territory's you have to conquer to get it

It's Risk people. Some slight modifications such as Fog, but it's Risk. Even the extra reinforcements from controlling continents are the same.

If anything, you need to add the airlift card to level 5, you need troops to move fast and get them to were they need to go, 5 to 1 doesnt exactly give you room to move.

I think high scores are bugged. Too many people finishing the hardest levels with less then 20 turns? Kind impossible. And first map can't be finished in 6 turns too. Exploits?

Level 1: So thats how you play this......... Level 2: Wow this game is fun! Level 3: Aaah a bit of a challenge level 4: Woah, getting tough here Level 5: WTF!? level 5 again: Ok lets get this right Level 5 again: Grrr lets win! Level 5 again: F*** this game!

For Crazy, it helps to have a secure starting position. I beat it from Africa, moving outwards to South Am and Antarctica, Middle East, etc.

The AI needs to fortify itself better. I've commonly sent stuff to the borders of their territories which only have one person.

I want to move my troops from Kamchatka over to Alaska via the sea passage off the right hand side of the map, but I can't. It won't let me go far right enough to click the arrow.

i have a really awesome idea! What about adding a club or bar or something where you have a chance to win the heart of a guy/girl by meeting their preferences. Then they move in with you and show up in your house and offer some sort of bonus.

Any way to add a full screen mode or something? The windows are way too big and take up most of the screen when opened.
I tried to add fullscreen but Kongregate doesn't allow it. You can zoom your browser in to add more space, or play on WarLight.net which allows fullscreen.

Insane cheats. What is supposed to be north vs. south quickly becomes stuck in the middle because the enemy appears from nowhere in the north with massive forces comparatively. Either that, or it is incredibly good at keeping away from view each of the three times I've started the level, the last of which I intentionally sought out the locations of the northern enemies.
If you surrender and use the history button you can see exactly what the AIs did and prove that they're not cheating - each AI plays by the same rules as you do. It is a very difficult level though :)

has anyone managed to beat the crazy challenge? It's been kicking my ass for hours, seems like both teams surround and kill me before attacking each other lol

okay, KONG, i understand you need to have ads to make $ because lord knows losers like me arent helping like we should be, so im not going to whine about that. I will whine about the VOLUME of the commercials. Long story short, i have to go change my pants now because of some asshole who is revolutionizing driving (or so im told) just wondering if the volume can be a debatable topic... and Warlight is a f*****g great game.

Damn, just start dominating then hit the level select button. Maybe some kind of warning i pressed that without just ending the game instantly? :(
Still a good game anyway, 5/5

When I started playing the first level, I thought, "oh great, another Risk clone. Why is this getting such a good rating?" Well sir, I must eat my words with extra ketchup. This is a superb and extremely challenging strategy game. I have two mostly cosmetic suggestions. 1: with teams, put a little flag icon next to or on each territory to show which team the player is on. If it is too cluttered to put it on every space, at least have it available on mouse over. 2: Some of the player colors are difficult to differentiate. Perhaps have stripes or something for variant coloring?
Anyway, thanks for making this game.
