For the europe challenge: It'ds best to attack France first and to get your reinforcements to your teammate. 2 in russia, 1 in Scandinavia. Take refuge in Spain and portugal while you have about 2-3 armies of 50 troops drilling through Europe to take away country bonuses from the enemy. All hope looks lost for you, but your teammate is getting stronger and will eventually get Russia back :) From there on it's easy. Also, you can distract a huge number of enemy troops with 10 armies. It will attack those, that's how I saved Spain.

When in the "attack phase", there should be an "Redo" option for every move you make. I hate to have to start it all over just because i misscliked the country i was going to move my troops into.

I got gold on level 2, 3, and 4 on my first attempts so any comments about the game being luck based "I get 5 wiped taking on 2 troops" moan moan... are just whingers. To get gold on 1 took some more effort and is luck based, just as well that it is short. (try taking europe and advancing into the middle east on the first go ;))

pure awesomeness! I finally beat the crazy challenge...I started in south africa, after taking the continent and blocking the entrances I took south america, then antarctica basically blocking all potential danger from the south, by blocking australia.
then it was an easy run through north america and greenland, meanwhile taking australia and preparing an attack on hawaii, from where the enemy tried to retake north america with more than 200 troops. I took hawaii and entered from siberia simulataneously, while pushing from the middle east and europe with several hundred troops...it took me an eternity of 53 turns and a lot of conservative playing, but at least I beat it :)
so for those trying, africa, then south america and antarctica are a good conservative base to win, since you can defend them well.

awesome game - i really love the fantasy map! My only suggestions are: AI difficulty adjustment and more non-Earth maps! It would be neat to have maps generated by unfolding complex polygons, designed around a solar system, the moon, the sea floor....

Thats frusterating...my first time doing the europe challenge. I wasnt going for the star, but it still hurts that i did it in 25 turns...

Wow. Thanks for telling me that my game won't save over any of the other saved games if the slots are full. I just lost over an hours worth of effort, and even worse, it was the first time ever that I was winning the crazy challeng! I love this game but I can't even bring myself to play it again.. I tried so many times to beat the crazy challenge and when I finally had it, my game didn't save. :'(

I feel bad for the kids that are too lame to actually beat the game so they have to hack the highscores to make themselves feel better ;)

This game is the best digital game of risk ever! Throwing away the need to view dice results and how everyone move together at the same time is epic! Deserve a 5 out of 5 star! Do make another level of more epicness!

Sometimes the probability is off ie if I attack with 5 against a neutral 2 I kill one of theirs but I pretty much get wiped. It makes getting the gold stars near impossible sometimes.

EDIT: Oh, you mean like per continent? Well, you get 1/3 of a card per turn that you conquer a territory, so it isn't entirely different. And IMO this is better than risk.

@Vampyro14: In level 1 and 2, you don't get cards, that will start in level 3. And if you go to the official site, you can make a lot of custom scenarios (also single player) with many different cards, types of fog etc...

Quickest I've ever had to restart Europe. Enemy ended up breaking in near the top of my area, through USSR, in a matter of 4 turns.

I like the idea of the cards, but I don't get cards when conquering anything, like in the original board game. Why? Plus: different cards are better.

This would be wee-your-pants-epic with a fullscreen option. If it was made, I think there'd be a strong chance of me dying whilst playing Warlight. What an accolade. Make it so, dear developer :D

Oh yeah, I control Europe, Africa and South America :challenge accepted: ... watch turn :click: 214 enemies from Iceland... WTF :O

After a few hours, the AI becomes far too predictable to pose a challenge. Which is why I really appreciate them having a multiplayer option on their site. Fantastic work, hope to see more games from you in the future :)

Lvl1 Gold Star: put 4 Units on S. Europe and Attack the middle East and put 1 Unit somewhere from where you can attack the last neutral spot in Europe but dont attack yet. Put 3 more Units there in the next round and the remaining on the middle east to travel forward to australia

I think actions should have happened at the same time. It's annoying when the strategy is affected by the randomness of which army strikes first. All territories should increase their numbers, all armies should "leave", 2 or more armies moving against each other get reduced or wiped out on the way to their destination and territories defend what's left over. Also, the random chance that an unoccupied territory with a 2 can withstand an attacking army of say, 6, is kind of silly. There's already plenty of chance and luck based on what decisions each player might make. Just my opinion.

Insane level is just imposible to beat, watched the walkthroughs and all and doing exactly the same i get beaten every time, other than that a good game.

Commander, we have taken a casualty but outnumber them 4 to 1, what are your ordes sir? "retreat, the arbitrary AI seems to be telling me that retreating would be a good idea, though i have the sneaking suspicion it is going rogue... nvm"

This is very well made but the basic problem is it's Risk, and Risk is a crummy boardgame. Lots of fail states or slog cleaning up to finish an inevitable win.

Great Game, Worldmap of Europa Universalis would be Fun^^
Gold in Lvl 1: First conquer the Middle East from south Europe

If someone would be so kind as to shoot me a message explaining how to do the first level in 6 turns or fewer it'd be greatly appreciated, I just can't seem to do it in anything less than 7.
