Crazy challenge is way too hard. I must have tried it more than 20 times now using different strategies and starting on every different continent. Even when I get a good start and capture an entire continent I still get overrun by stacks of 40+ soldiers that seem to appear out of nowhere. Also it gets boring on this challenge because there is only the one 6 soldier reinforcement card to use, so your options are limited. After about turn 10, 6 soldiers are not enough to make a big enough difference anyway. I think the crazy challenge could use some adjustments to make it more fun (more cards available maybe?) and less frustrating. I can't imagine how painful the insane challenge is.

It would be very nice if there is a full screen mode where I can see the whole map without zoom. Thanks for the great game anyway.. 5 stars! :)

The first few levels were fun but then it becomes way too much of a pain. It feels like micro managing too much. Felt like more work than fun.

Third level AI behavior is odd. I've tried 3 a few times with different strategies but crushed by AI that can drop five times as many troops. Expanding quick=Fail, Slow build=Fail, Expand fast w/strong borders=Fail, Wipe out one enemy at a time while holding others off=Fail. Review history and find that AI don't seem to attack each other with aggression that I get attacked with until I'm dead. Sure they'll exchange and even get in large battles early but in mid-game all the huge deployments are aimed at me even with much easier targets. In last game I watched history of 2 AI sitting next to each other turn after turn with lightly guarded borders (no more than 4) & huge areas with 1 behind borders but AI both ignore that to focus on me. This might make sense if I massed troops against them but I focused on a third AI but did have double the troops on shared borders as they had with each other.

After dying on level 2 i found out that being passive ain't working :P
So after going 100% agressive the game is more fun :P
I would just like to say that denmark is part of scandinavia.
I can see why you put it in n.Europe, but its annoying :P XD
Good game, one of the better risk games ive plaid!

this is just like risk but it seems better for some resion... meh must be its more detaled then the board game or seems to be or it can be the ai that seem pretty hard or i just suck ether way 5/5 witch is weird i dont like risk, mostly because some one ends up thowing the board acrosed the room.

it would be great if the other countries fought each other during crazy.....that way they just dont eat up all of their surrounding areas then come at you with huge numbers.

My saved games don't seem to be working. I have one for level 2, but it shows as completed. Any other time I save a game, it doesn't show up.

I realized this was a great game when I found myself throwing my fist in the air and yelling "YES!!!! F**K YOU!!" at the computer when I took over Greenland.

Great game. Needs a full-screen mode. Also pop-up windows should be central, otherwise I have to keep grabbing them and pulling them to where I can see them.

There's a Game called 'Risiko' here in Germany.
It's kind'a like this.
But with Missions like, get Australia, Asia an South America .. :o

@ Hard Rapula, That's what you get for annexing the Netherlands :P We can't fight for shit. Takes your prowess down a notch.

Gave this 5/5 initially, but having tried many times on crazy to find every time I end up surrounded by massive armies which wipe me I have changed my rating of this game. Pity the last couple of levels are too hard as it is a great game. It would be easier without the fog on crazy.

thought i had insane for sure...then i realized they can come through the bottom of the map also...anyone have a strategy in place yet? The closest I got was holding the bottom 3 check points and working my way up to the top 3. By the time I got Greenland and Kamchatka(I think) one of them had completely occupied Europe. Am wondering if it instead of playing it 100% defense, sending in a raiding party to distract the South Hemisphere might work.

Very awesome game. Totally gave it 5 stars and favorited it. The only thing I would say, is maybe have a better, smoother UI. The current one isn't so bad, but I think a more fluid, clearer UI would make this game pretty boss.

its a great game, until i claw my face to the skull trying to win crazy level (nevermind insane which I havent even unlocked) No strategy seems to employ any give from computer AI's they will surround you and f**k you over at every turn, placing 20 armies out of nowhere when you only have built enough to fortify 5 or 6 on the borders you've managed to scrape together.

Fantastic game, 5/5. However I do not see a bonus number for Japan/Korea? Is that meant to be like that or is it just a mistake in the game?

Sweden worth of 5 armies round and Germay only worth 3 ????? Country that had not fought war in two centuries has military prowness equal to UK ?

Interesting, I love how you added Antarctica and divided Asia into smaller regions in the large Earth map. Makes me for a whole new host of Risk strategies.

5/5 without a doubt
HOWEVER i found challenge europe just right, while the crazy level is... crazy, and i lost interest quite fast. i suggest you could have kept the difficulty level the same as challenge europe or just a tad higher, in different scenario. that would have kept me in it.

When you click a country to deploy troops it will display a small box, into which I can type how many troops to deploy. This box does not show for the first X number of turns. Is that intentional?

Bug? Eliminated by pink, went back through the history. They had about 3 territories and 20 units on a map with only +6 reinforcement cards half way through the game. Next turn they had 150 units in those spots and TOOK EVERYTHING

Found a bug. I used reinforcements card and get 11 armies to deploy. Then I screw up one of orders and clicked 'Start Over'. But then.. i had only 5 armies to deploy..
