at first i thought this was an extremely well done risk clone, then i started level 4 and realized it was so much more

Soren, try going to http://tinyurl.com/7l7qgpq there you can have multiplayer maps that are either real-time or multi-day, both of which are interesting to play. It's a very friendly environment and rarely do you get trolls.

Great game however there is something EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. In the insane lvl I can't get from "Anadyr N" (Northeast russia), to Australia. =( PLEASE FIX THIS BUG.

the trick of the crazy challenge is to stack up on cards early, attack in groups of 15, and take regions; not anything you think would help. if a juggernaut army like, over 200 hundred come, simply attack them with everything you have until its either done for good, or they retreat.
once your ally is to nothing but norway, simply let them be. they keep themselves locked down in that area pretty good. continue to eastern Europe until you reach the border of the map, and then either north, to Russia, or south, to Greece and Spain. like if it helped

@Zerdemx Europe is possible, but I am yet to do it in 24 moves. I found what worked for me was to allow that giant plague of about 300 enemy armies to just run through my land and I would send in armies behind it to clean up. I flanked the rest of Europe for the win. I think it may be possible to win faster by heading North ASAP however by building armies in Northern Scotland and then unleashing.

Great take on risk!! I would only like to add a couple of things though. A faster animation for battles (I know there is the skip button) and also a button to randomly place reinforcements on your borders. The second suggestion would work well when you are winning easily and just don't really care where the reinforcements go, just so long as they go on the borders.

Wasn't it a multiplayer game before kongregate ?
Anyway, one of the best strategy game finaly on kongregage deserves my first comment !

the turn requirement for europe is insane. It is completely luck based on how bad the enemy is at taking out your russian allies. If they go all out over there you have no chance to do it in time.

i just wish the later levels weren't so inaccessible. I still love the game despite not being able to win the crazy level.

Lets see. I control the enitre planet except for Australasia. I have 157 armies is Siam, they have a grand total of four. I think I know where my bets are going...

Think of VERY early WWII hitler used blitzkreig to conquer most of Europe I build as many as possible on my borders and just do an all out assault once i begin to lose steam i stop and reinforce heavily then i repeat works pretty well so far

I always conquer Ireland, Engalnd and Iceland, then maybe the Scandinavian countries, but i'm always so nervous to take over France, when i know i have plenty of troops to do so.

The youtube videos I saw also show the npc's placing FAR less armies on their turns than when I play. Do the npc's sometimes get so unlucky they fail? Whatever it is, this level cannot ultimately be a just a test of skill. It is VERY dependent on luck and restarting turns to see what the enemy will do. In the end it is nothing more than a frustrating gamble.

How is it that on the insane challenge with virtually all of the north world a single enemy on the team of 5 can place more armies than I can? It's mathematically impossible. Also consider the value of the cards. The extra armies card is virtually worthless. +6 armies will make so little difference the level would be about as impossible without it. They have armies of 60 by turn 10 so what the hell is +6 supposed to do? Also the abandon card is nice but it only gives the npc's a reason to build a massive 100+ army which they can somehow do in as little as two turns. Once that breaks through you're screwed anyway. Even with the best of luck and the best territories captured I cannot fool myself for a second thinking winning this level is possible.

Fun game, but it would be a little more interesting if the Hard Europe Challenge was so luck dependent. It's not fun starting over and over just waiting for a few things to break your way in the first couple rounds.

@cschr - well if they wanted to simulate Russia in WW2 they would have had to give them tonnes more troops but only have them about 1/2 as effective as German ones. Also they would have to simulate a Russian winter. Remember - Never get involved in a land war in Asia!!
