Level 3 is quite ridiculous. Allies allow each other to dominate while solely focusing on my forces. I've played SEVERAL times now, and each time one AI opponent was allowed to dominate by the others. Even with great starting positions I cannot afford to fund a war against someone who is not opposed by anyone else on the board except for me. The game itself is quite fun to play with all of the additional bonuses, but this broken AI system doesn't work well.

If you're having a hard time getting a gold star on the first map, you can get it by winning in six turns.
Take Ukraine (for the extra 5 armies per turn) and the Middle East on your first turn, then you should be able to hit Siam on the same turn as the computer (turn #3) with more armies than he has. From there you can easily take Australia in three turns. Bingo! Gold Star.
Keep this alive if you had a hard time getting the star on this one.

Just beat the insane map. Good god! Insanity! Seriously!! Took about 5 solid attempts and learned some things on the way. Here are my tips for winning: focus on getting the area bonuses, asap. Take all of Asia, Europe and North America. I left S.America, Indo/Australia alone. Also push as far as you can in to Africa. By this time in the game I had to use an abandon card on "South Africa." Sacrificed the bonus, but worht it. Eventually pushed to "Anadyr S" and blockaded there too. ~150. Basically blockade a choke and you face one less opponent. Then you can fight the other 3-4 much safer. Blockade another, then push. You can't be passive in this one... be aggressive. Take and hold one country from an enemy bonus area. That's 3-7 less army/turn for them. Don't be afraid to retreat when you need to. Protect your core.

bjjdude, don't click the arrows, click the territory you want to attack. If you're clicking the arrows successfully, that just means they happen to be overlying the territory.

My last two games on level 3 I have been defeated but it was close. In both cases, I wanted to see how the AI did it but the fog did not lift in the history even after I was eliminated. Both were saved half way through and finished later, if this is relevant.
It may take a few moments after you're eliminated before the board unfogs. The AIs actually continue to fight after you're gone, and the board won't unfog until one of them wins and the game officially ends, but it's not clear this is happening. If you look in the top right you can see the turn number going up though. You can load your saved game and hit players -> surrender then wait for it to unfog.

awesome game dev, 6/5 but one thing i'd ask you to change is that when i play a card right when i get all the pieces and go to close out the box, the right side column comes out. i know it's supposed to but if it could be clicking on it instead of just touching it, thatd be perfect =)

I hate how it's impossible to press arrows that cross the world left to right (or right to left). Otherwise, this is an amazing game.
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.

in my country this game is called TEG (short for Tecnicas y Estrategias de la Guerra) and its a board game 80 years old :P

the early maps are definitely beatable (through Europe) with a good starting location, some strategy and a little luck, but the challenge maps seem impossible... I just start to get a foothold and some random enemy comes barreling through with 200 units against my 50...

I have to say that I keep testing the game and I can say that AI is horrible. Example: On map "2 Earth", I put 4 team with 2 players in each group. Gess what? My conrade was eliminated, and the others team, kept only 1 troop on their frontier and keep atacking me. Ok, it's a game with 4 teams, each one competing against each other, and even this being true, they do not atack each other troops, they keep atacking me only. For example: I have a territory with 120 troops, another player have another side by side with mine with 140 troops. Side by side too, there's a lot of territories of a third player, all with only 1 troop, being easy to eliminate the guy, but guess who the 140 troops will atack? Like I keep saying, there's no logic on this AI. And to say that, my ally, has to be the worst AI in the world, because he is always eliminated in the beggining.

Reminds me of a combination of the game Risk, and a game called Shattered Plans. I like Risk and I LOVE shattered plans so i favorited this and gave a 5/5. Those 3 years you spent were very worthwhile :)

Great game but when ever i click on a area the info is always out of the screen so i cant see it and have to move it to the middle
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.

I like the game, but I have a problem with the "Fog of War" setting. I think it is a really cool setting to have and makes the game much harder, but I am very suspicious of where the enemy is getting his troops from when I can't see them. Every game I play, I am dominating early, yet I suddenly uncover an enemy with 60+ troops in one spot and 30+ in another. I've gained a card every turn, own multiple "continent" bonuses, and I don't have enough to get that many troops. Seems like they are coming from nowhere and not possible to have that much at that early point of the game.
The AI plays by the same rules you do. You can prove this even when the fog is in play - once the game is over (by win or loss), use history and go look at the AIs. You can determine where they got each and every army.

Also i Love the game risk i used to have them all . 5/5 i always look for that game too on here ,. then this shown up just as good . risk is much much better , i recomend that game for people who played this and loved it . risk is much more, detailed with cards and such .
It should work.. make sure you're not in private browsing mode, and that you don't have any apps installed (like CCleaner) that are cleaning browser history.

I love Epic War games, but this is what i mean with "Strategy Game". Congrats, you deserve the october developer price.

there used to be a game on the ipod called lux attack or something like that
did you base this on that? It plays exactly the same way
Both games are in the world domination genre, but Lux is a Risk clone (the rules work identically to the old board game Risk). WarLight's game mechanics work differently.

Love the game. May I suggest variable AI... so that you can player harder or weaker opponents. The game needs difficulty settings in general. Again, love it!

Would be nice if the adjoining arrows are displayed during army deployment as well. Sometimes, what looks like adjoining territories aren't and I find I wasted armies deploying there thinking they are, or missing out on fortifying an area because they looked separated. Especially when the border colour and the player colour are the same.

Dayvit78, all you have to do is at the main screen select settings and you can change your color. I don't know if you can change the color of your opponents

Strategy for Crazy: * Start in North America. The AI will fight in Eurasia * Conquer Canada/USA. On borders, match AI's army size (minimum 5); an AI will attack if threatened or there are no AIs to fight * Conquer South America/Greenland. Anger only one AI at a time * The AI cannot see through fog. Secure borders with 15+ armies behind the border under fog to not provoke counterattack. Use the "Y defense" to secure 2 borders at once. E.g. place an army in Paraguay to protect Brazil/Argentina from AIs in Africa/Antarctica * Save the game * One of the AIs should be stronger now than the rest. Preemptively attack that AI. Eurasia is vulnerable; it's (usually) best to go through Greenland/Alaska * If you attacked a weak AI, reload your save * Don't try to get bonuses. Focus on crippling the AI's bonuses by capturing large numbers of countries * Don't attack the AI's largest army. Recapture undefended countries it leaves behind. Eventually the AI will split their giant army, THEN kill it.

FizzerWL got to say great game, however for someone like me who has played risk-like games a lot until they have created a unstoppable approach to win, then it just gets to be the same thing.
But for this being your first game i have to say it is a very good game and i do like playing because of the way the AI change in strategy. So Good job.
