Apparently, I am way too stupid to beat Europe. I tried playing conservatively, I've tried playing aggressively, I've tried selective targeting of specific regions, I've tried a balanced approach, and I've tried reinforcing my ally but none of these has done me any good.
I am out of ideas. This game has bested me.
Maybe I'll come back one day, maybe I won't, but until then...
I fold.

Europe is impossible. Why would you even create that map? Seriously, I get a "challenge", but it's ridiculous. Not even worth playing.

Great game FizzerWL. I had a go at making a Risk-style game once and can appreciate the AI intricacy. If anyone wants to learn about AI, this sort of game is a great start.

Too much of unnecessary clicking.There should be some sort of way to deal with that in options.My wrist hurts after one short game.

vegtablebob, to achieve 6 turns, you go to Middle East, India, Siam, then go for East Australia.
By the way, guys, this game is DEFINITELY worth signing up for, Multi-player is insanley fun, and I hope you all try it.

@imavegtablebob It should work if you attack the Middle East on the first turn instead of Ukraine (make sure to capture Ukraine too though).

How do you win the first level in 6 turns? East Australia is 7 turns away from Europe no matter which route you take to get to it.

Crazy Challenge: After 5 hours, I remember why I didn't favorite this game after earning the Hard badge. If you don't start on Africa with no neighbors, don't bother. Even then, if you like strategy, don't bother. It's all luck based. You have zero idea what the enemies next move will be. And sometimes when enemies attack each other, they join armies instead of killing each other. Great game, but Crazy Challenge is impossible to beat from skill alone.

For the Europe challenge: keep your ally alive as long as possible. The best way to do this is to give them the 3x120 reinforcements. This keeps the enemy occupied A LOT while you charge through spain, italy etc and expand as quickly as possible. And remember to try to disrupt as many bonuses for the enemy as possible, even if it means only holding part of a territory and not getting the bonus yourself, otherwise you get armies of 400 coming after you from all directions and it becomes impossible.

The AI cheats by ganging up on the player too much. You will often have to fight a 3-4 front war even in custom FFA's. Oh, and Africa is OP.

Level 1 Gold Star: On your 1st turn, deploy all 5 armies to S. Europe. Then use three armies to attack the Ukraine, then two to attack the Middle East. You MUST occupy both by the end of Turn 1. If you do not, restart. After you manage to occupy both, deploy all 10 of your armies to attack Middle East. Then use as many armies as possible to attack India, then Siam, then Indonesia. Do this by deploying on the country you last conquered, then deploying all of your armies. Then split the armies 50-50 on turn 5 to get both New Guinea and Western Australia. Finally, on turn 6 hit Eastern Australia with everything you've got. Then you'll get your gold star for Level 1.

Yeah, six moves to my one, the AI never attacks each other in a meaningful way, and always places their units into the territory that I am about to attack. Then for some rason, I have 16 armies attacking one unit, lose one guy, and then stop the attack and fall back with 15 armies...WTF? Still, great first effort. I applaud your attempt and it is SO MUCH better than so many othr first tries. Keep at it, you will only get better with time.

This game is great! But the official site is better.
FIZZERWL, could you give us a link to the music, it's amazing!
Rate this up! +1

yeah, crazy mode is pointless. I would guess the probability of winning this mode is something like 100 to 1, regardless of starting positions. The AI just seems hell bent on destroying the player. It's not really 3vs3vs1 its basically 6vs1. I am giving up playing it. Hopefully I can find some enjoyment in the multiplayer version or some custom settings. I've lost all interest and desire to continue on the missions after watching the AI stack all armies against my defense when there is much easier "enemy" target next door that get ignored.

so on the crazy challenge, I thought it was supposed to be 2 warring factions with me in the middle. Yet, I am constantly watching as the AI from both supposed warring factions stack huge armies against my border defenses. They seem to completely ignore each other as long as they have me as an enemy. I find it impossible to predict which direction the attacks will come from, and I really can't count on the warring factions attacking each other. I seem to be the biggest threat in a 6 vs 1 scenario. Crazy? Yeah.

is there a way to win crazy challenge? i tried in asia, america, australia, africa and south america, no way to win - the best one was when i was ruling all southern parts of the world, but then AI got bunch of huge armies at the borders and i couldn't repell them. then he was taking over all my territories and it happens all the time. also, should i use one big army or spread them over?
