The reason you are losing when you attack is because if both the attacker and defender have more than 3 troops then its even odds EXCEPT defender wins ties. Which means even if you have 30 more units as long as the defender has at least 3 you can easily fail.

Good game, Thanks for uploading:
Attack with high ratio - Attack only when you have a high ratio, 2:1 is a good one.
Don't attack blindness - Think before attack because the odds are at the defense side. You can lose a lot with bad attacks.
Conquer and fortify - Don't try to conquer the whole world at once, try to conquer some countries and protect them first.
Get strong borders - Concentrate your troops on the borders and then try to expand.
Get a High Score - You receive points every time you win on the dices (attacking or being attacked).

there is no point in attacking unless you get more dice then your opponent. That means you can only attack when the enemy has less than three in one area and you have more. It would be more fun if you made it like risk and the max dice of defender were one less of the max dice of attacker. 2 out of 5.

it's amazing how the computer attacks one of my places...kills 99 troops, and losses 0, i attack back with 500...i lose about 400 and kill 74...wtf man, just wtf

Seems like you need to have a 2 to 1 margin when attacking to win which makes the end game very tedious as you build up forces to attack. The AIs rarely attack a territory with more than 20 armies even if they have a large advantage in numbers, and the AIs almost never attack each other after turn 2 or 3. Would be a much better game with better AIs, or maybe a max # of armies per territory (to encourage attacks).

defense is way op, theres a reason risk only has 2 dice on defending teams... and the ai is way defense based and it draws out these games forever.

How to beat this game (part 2 of 2): Don't attack anyone unless you have at least double their numbers, and if possible, hold off until you get about 5x their amount later in the game. Just keep attacking 1 country at a time and building your impenetrable tsunami. Keep every other country at only 1 army. Your being ahead of them by hundreds, or even if you're only almost equal to their strongest country with lots of others around as they'll all want to maintain the balance of power and don't want to risk attacking anyone, even a single army country, in case they get too weakened and overwhelmed by everyone else. Use that to your advantage. Keep on nibbling at a country here, an opposing country there, and build, build, build your unstoppable killing machine. Once every other army is down to a single country, then start picking them off at will. Enjoy your win. :-)

How to beat this game (part 1 of 2): Take a close look at the map and discover where you're strong and where they're weak. If it's on/near a peninsula, so much the better. Wherever you have a good mismatch, dump everything into that country and attack the wimp for what should be an easy victory. Only attack one country at a time to start with, maybe 2 if you're extra strong and they're extra wimpy. Once you have a couple of extra countries, build up exactly 1 of your countries into a superpower. Doing so will cause ALL computer players to think twice before attacking you. Whatever you do, DON'T wipe out computer players one by one. Instead, whittle them down until they're each down to 1-2 countries each.

beside the win/loss ratio, which seems to be out of order, the game is brilliant - enjoy it and spent some time playing it 4/5

First time I played, I didn't win a single battle. Not one. Just kept losing until I couldn't attack any more. Even with 6 against 1. The comments below are arguing about the odds of victory, but all I know is that either I got extremely unlucky, or the computer is biased.

Uh... have any of you ever played RISK? Yes, defense wins on a tie, but attack gets up to three dice. Minimum amount of troops that you get at the beginning of your turn is three. The game does need a manual to explain its rules, but it's fairly balanced.

How did the computer win? I had 8 on one and the computer had 1...
It said -4 on ONE turn...take this game off please, and make some revisions or something, this sucks.

I appreciate the effort but the dice are totally loaded on the side of the defense. That makes it a lot less fun. Keep going though the next one will be better!
