My findings on the dice statistics curve (taken only from when the player attacks, as the computer's moves occure to fast to record the results)
Attacker (rolls):
1: 21
2: 9
3: 25
4: 22
5: 13
6: 14
Defender (rolls):
1: 5
2: 3
3: 7
4: 9
5: 21
6: 18
This is enough die-rolls to prove that it is not an even distribution, there is heavy weighting towards the CPU-defence. Harder to determine what's going on on the player's attacking rolls, there is slight weight towards the lower end, but it all seems missing from the rolls for 2's.
Also, I'd like to be able to see the dice rolled when I conquer an area. Currently that's hidden from me, though I get to see it when the CPU conquers areas.

This game can really be too random, and the attacks/dice rolls are very random/off. Plus the game is laggy even on a lower setting...

Dice are WAY OFF. You either win right away or die right away, there is nothing besides the dice which as said before, are Way off.
Can't even say it is luck of the dice, its just death 2 times out of 3.
Good try, I am sure with some more work it will be a great game. I always like these Risk type game.

Much better than the original - playable in 10-15 mins per battle.
Dice do seem a bit streaky, and an option to Delopy All would be nice (individually deploying 25 odd troops is a pain).

I find this game fun =P. Just fix the lag from the graphics and make more places to dominate like the moon or something. that would be awesome!!

Wow, this game doesn't need to be so high in CPU usage. Dumb down the graphics a lot to make the game play faster. Also listen to feedback again. If you want it to be successful as I think you do with an update, then fix what's broken. I cannot enjoy this game at all, but I want to!

The framerate problem is also an issue on the world map screen that comes inbetween levels. It takes much longer on my older computer than on my newer one.

Lots of angry comments from people. Why? This game is pretty fun once you get the strategy down. I've beaten it three times already. I can understand those who have computer performance issues (I tend to agree with the floating numbers comment), but I can think of several games here that are rated above 3.5 that are not as fun as this one.

This rule: "It's not allowed moving troops to a new conquered country and continue attacking" combined with an AI that seems to prefer picking on the weakest player makes gaining an early advantage in this game nearly insurmountable. Because you can't fight through more than one layer of zones, the player with the larger area of control is nearly always going to be able to take back whatever a weaker player takes from him. And because the AI doesn't understand the importance of ganging up, that means that once someone has the upper hand, they keep it.

Like the Improvements over the 1st version. Three things I'd like to see, two for ease of play, the other for balance.
Adding a button to allow you to add the max number of armies to a single country, so that you don't have to click 19 times to add 19 armies to a country.
Can you remove the Move Army warning after lvl 1? By that point in the future levels, we get that moving armies will stop you from making further attacks.
I think the one unbalancing thing about the game is that you get a number of armies based on the number of countries you control. If you get crushed on your first turn, and the computer gains a 2:1 country advantage (for example), there is very little chance of you coming back from that. Maybe getting extra armies for every two countries, or getting a set number of armies every turn that never changes...

The floating numbers make the game much harder to play on a slower computer. You can't click on a country that is covered by them. Combine this with them moving much slower on slow computers, and it's very frustrating.

YAWN, I'd rather play RISK on a board against myself. Easy click along while watching TV, so somehow I got to level 5, but it's totally mindless and mostly blind luck in the opening rounds. I give up. Can't believe this is the 5th version! How could it have been MORE boring in the earlier 4 versions?

probably the worst copy of risk i have ever played. the computer has a huge advantage in the dice rolls. This game should be hung and shot before it causes anymore embarrasment to kongregate :-)

I like this game. :) It may be frustrating for you because the rules aren't risk's. But they can be used to your advantage.

your family should die for this crappy game .. what kinda random number generator are you using because the super trooping on this is amazing. lost 16 to 1 army, and then 14 to 1. If you're gonna make a Risk rip-off or "homage" if you wanna be a penus, I suggest building Risk.

is this game supposed to be this bad? i cant think of worse example of the risk type game. why you cant move your troops forward to keep attacking is beyond me
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
this game may be the worst risk remake i've played. the computer begin's it's turn with a troop reinforce stage, and also ends it's turn with one???

game is okay at best, it looks nice, but does not run nice, game is slow paced because attacks take so long, it would be cool if kong made a game like this... only nicer http://www.gamedesign.jp/flash/dice/dice.html
