there are several ways to play a game of this type. The curious thing about this one to me is the computers don't fight each other worth a hoot. They do here and there but not enough to amount anything.

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.

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
