Would have won the hard badge if not for my dumb 'ally.' Won in 25 turns instead of 24 due to failure of ally to capture a gimme territory.

For the Insane Challenge, I saw 50 pink attack 50 purple. And the result of it was the purple area transformed into 100....

Beaten levels 2,3, and 5 in 13/22/25 turns, without guides. (=<
For levels 3 and 5, the best places to start are Africa/Antarctica/North America. If you meet any AI's within the first 3 to 5 turns, you should probably restart. Best way of winning is holding Africa, then Antarctica, South America, and then North America; attacking/starting in Europe/Australia/Asia in the early stages generally is too hard to win.

The gold for mission 4 is nigh on impossible I have done the level with 4 or 5 turns to spare but the stupid red is in my way. I send him my armies and air-drop to strategic locations and it still gets it wrong.

Mester - retart untiul you're in Africa or the Americas. Focus on conquering stuff early on for bonuses, then try to take and hold important chokepoints.

Bleh, I find the world map with the tons of countries very hard to play... after 23 turns only got two 'continents' and getting owned. Lolz. Need 25 turns for gold medal :-/

kfgrasshopper-on your first turn, move your big armies evenly to Midlands and Wales, then transfer them to Southeast and Southwest on your second turn. The enemy will attack and usually lose ALL of his first two big armies. Remember that to attack 50 armies, you need 100, but to defend against 50 you might only need 30. Try to create predictable paths for your enemy and then transfer armies into his path early in your turn. Sometimes you miss, but when you do it right, you save a LOT of armies.

Great game. Probably the most difficult and time consuming Medium challenge I've done...the hard might as well be an impossible. So much has to break *just* right to beat those round limits.

Dude the challenge in Europe is so HARD!!! I can't stop my 'ally' from being destroyed or even myself from holding over 300 armies on all fronts BUT I SHALL ACCOMPLISH THIS TASK! Any way AMAZING game. And Next time make something like this navies and air raids to deplete the enemies troops then it would it be one of the best strategy games that has a very slight resemblence to risk.

Oh and I was trying to hold my own against him and he broke through into north america. I lost in one turn. As in one turn he took alaska. The very next turn all of my territory (I had all of north and south america) was his and I'd lost somehow.

Mission 3 is unbeatable. Single AI somehow controls 3/4ths of the entire world by the time I even run into it. Once I do all other AI are dead and it somehow has all that territory even though I have been expanding at breakneck speed.

To get gold in mission 1
Turn 1) Put all your armies into S. Europe attack Middle East.
Turn 2) Put some or all your armies in S. Europe again and attack Ukraine. Put the rest in Middle East and attack India.
Turn 3) Put all armies in India and attack Siam.
Turn 4) Put all armies in Siam and attack Indonesia.
Turn 5) Put all armies in Indonesia and attack Western Australia with half the armies and New Guinea with the other half.
Turn 6) Put all armies in either Western Australia or New Guinea and attack Eastern Australia.

I agree with professor jumbo. Took me a while to beat crazy but you can clearly see that the AI opponent closest to me got 11 army on round to vs my 5. I would be excited to see a version two where the AI moved smartly and didn't need as much cheating to play.

only one problem is that u cant attack from one side to the other like alaska to the most north-easternly part of russiabut u cant do it because it deselects the country your using to attack

Fun game, but seems unbalanced. Everybody thinks the AI is good, it isn't, it's just got some bonuses. For example 33 armies vs. 13 AI armies = 33 lost armies for 10 lost A.I. armies. 2 AI armies attacking 1 of yours will win 3/4 times, but the reverse is not true. Also I'm currently getting 35 armies per Turn while the Brown AI should be getting 38 but instead the Brown AI is getting 78 per turn. I'd say maybe 3.5/5 , too much AI cheese. But still pretty fun.

I didn't think it was possible to do the Europe challenge (and get the Hard badge) but with just a little luck and lot of careful manuvering I nailed it in 22 turns!! Great game - it actually has tactical elements unlike the actual Risk game it is based off.

The annoying thing is that i completed the europe challenge map before the achievements were added, and cant complete it again :/

Only two things about the game that I can gripe about: Hotkeys & View. M and P don't seem to work; It's also a long way for my ADD fingers to travel. I'd also really like a simple undo key for those times I click on the wrong territory and add one too many armies.
View:
The windows often pop up with 50% or more outside of my viewable area. While this is only annoying on most things since you have excellent default selections; it kills me on graphs and map reading though.
Awesome game, exactly what I've been searching for.

Just completed the insane level in 29 turns. This game is just epic. Well balanced, good AI, good learning curve. It kept me entertained for days. Yes, the last two level is somewhat hard, but when you play it enough, you just start to "feel", when and where the AI will attack, so you can concentrate on the weaker points of AI. Tip for crazy level: try to get bonuses and maintain the balance of the two alliance. Tip for insane level: Just survive. :) Speed kills, and roadblocks saves your life. Try to capture as much territory in the North as possible, and separate at least two opponents from you. Then crush the other three. Habet tempus, habet vitam.

@maximumcool: i can do level 1 in 6 turns repeatedly. the other levels may rely a slight bit on luck, but the first level is pure strategy (and there's really only one way to do it, i believe). *spoiler* you need to conquer europe on the 2nd turn

This is an excellent no-frills strategy game that plays like a much-improved version of Risk. The game is easy to understand and does an excellent job of guiding players through increasing levels of difficulty. If you're looking to spend no more than 30 minutes playing a game of global domination, you just might lose track of the hours playing one session after another.
