Urgh some rounds take so long, all I'm doing is adding - waiting till the pc is done adding and then add again till I'm at a reasonable amount... (I always try to do double of what I'm attacking) And even that doesn't always work ... I had 180 and attacked a 94 pc ... I lost 150 pc lost 30 -.-

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.

very challenging in single player but it requires u to hve a strategy... meaning u cant attack everyone possible and hve all 1's and hope u will live... u need to find a center point for ur fighting which cant be attacked from many angles like in S. America u would want Panama cause only 1 country can attack it.. but once u hve a central country u can make it very powerful and expand slowly but u will win most of the time because of the strategy

Fine game. A good Idea and everything but the system is a bit off imo. For instance u can attack some1 with 21 and they have 11 and then u can loose big time which is kinda bad, atleast I think so. Besides that u also forgot to draw in some stuff. For instance in Europe u forgot Belgium and the Netherlands and u forgot to draw a border line between Denmark and germany like u have done elsewise with other countires. Besides that u also forgot a lot around Makedonia, Slovenia etc. And Austria is way too huge

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.

The win/loss ratio for the attacker on an even number of die for attacker and defender should be 15/21. I've noticed the casualties are closer to 1 to 3! I've also noticed a -3 tends to happen about as much as a -2/-1. A -3 for the attacker should happen about 1/5, -3 for the defender should happen about 7.2/100 or less that 1/10. I'm not sure how their figuring wins and losses but it's not true odds. But the computer is a bad enough strategist you should still be able to win.

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.
