A "soft" blizzard mode seems like a compelling idea to me and might be worth experimenting with internally. It would work the same as blizzards, except instead of a hard blockage, the territory starts with an fixed amount of neutral troops (50?). As a twist, the troop count goes down each round to gradually increase the tension about when someone might break through it; a sort of "Civilization in Decline" type vibe. It could work well with standard blizzards enabled at the same time (on large enough maps). There is also a lot of room for per-map tuning if that was desired. I'll admit, when I first played with Blizzards, I assumed they would "melt" at some point, given the name.

Battle Points Levels Seasonals So in most game with similar system, either it is a season pass or it's a special track that reset on his own schedule (3 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, etc.). So it would be nice if the Battle Point track reset at some points too, so we can have the fun to level up again. And since there are seasons in Risk, that would be nice to match it. For every reset, there would be new rewards on the track, making each Risk season unique .And for stats purpose, it would show in our profile our level / max level for that season: So "Season 1-6: Non applicable. Season 7-8: Lvl 25/25 , Season 9: Level x/y (depends on what will be the max level), etc. "So we can still feel proud of reaching max level and make it a goal for every season. (I put season 7-8 together, because with the actual cap of BP a day, it won't be possible to reach the maximum in 1 season.

Rejoin current lobby In the game, it can happen often that the game will disconnect us, even if our network and everything else is fine. It will then try to reconnect us but it can either: freeze on x tries, freeze before even trying to reconnect or tell us we are reconnected but then , once we finish our turn, nothing happens and it is forever our turn. Only solution in all those bugs is to close the game and reopen. But the rejoin feature is really buggy, and most of the time, it won't even offer to rejoin our lobby. Sometime, it does offer it. But once in the lobby, nothing happens and it is forever someone's turn, so we aren't really back in. So the suggestion to fix all those problems would be that: It would be nice if there were, in the lobby list, a "Your current game" lobby. You see it as long as 1- you didn't join any other lobby since the time you closed the game/ your game crashed and 2- a small time limit, so you can't go and come back over and over to let the bot take your spot.

Improving dice while maximising process speed:

issue:
The dice work primarily as intended when it comes to most gameplay, it starts to not work as well at much larger values

solution:
We currently use d1-d6 for dice, can we use different ranges for higher values (until they're within suitable range?)

As an example:
100,000 vs 100,000
Use: d100-d600 (1=100, 2=200 etc) until 10,000 attacker OR defender

Use: d10-d60 (1=10, 2=20 etc) until attacker or defender at 1000

Optionally use d2-d12 (2,4,6,8,10,12) for 500-1000 (accounts for unknown range at 500+)

Not sure how these will translate near or on the limits, however modifying the dice values proportionally to the battle size would be a quick way to perform larger battles in minimal time.

It still uses the d1-d6 standard so it is just modifying the # of troops impacted.

FFA Rank Leaderboard: Prog and fixed

So, in march, they announced that they will finally make 2 different leaderboard, one for 1v1 and one for fixed, solving a thing about the actual leaderboard. They also said that we would be matched with players of our levels, with the same amount of Elo points/ New Rank points when it comes out.

So the suggestion would be about making 2 different FFA Leaderboard: One for prog and one for fixed. I don't know about 1v1 enough, and it seem prog is better for 1v1, so I won't suggest about it.

But on FFA, prog and fixed are 2 really different way to play the game.

1- It would be nice to see how much we rank among the ones that play the same type.
2- Being a Grand Master on one leaderboard doesn't mean we would be on the other.
3- Since we will be matched with people of the same skill points, it would be nice to separated those 2. If you are a pro in prof/ fixed and almost never play the other, you don't want to be with pro when you play the one you are way less experienced at. You want to be with people of the same skill as your in that way of playing.

So I think it would benefit a lot to have those 2 separated when the new leaderboards come in. So there would be 3 leaderboard: 1v1, FFA prog, FFA fixed. 3 ways to play the game.

This is a suggestion from Sterling. He writed it in "Risk-ideas-discussion" and I think it's a really good idea and that should be in the game, so I am putting his message here for making it known and voted:

"This should be accompanied by more specific status messages when you click on a player. Currently “I’m offline for now” is used for everything but instead there should be:

• I’m AFK, but still may return within the next couple of minutes
• I’ve lost connection but still may return within the next couple of minutes
• I’ve surrendered and cannot return, so no longer count for rank
• I’ve disconnected too long, so cannot return and no longer count for rank
• I was a bot added to the lobby by the host, so don’t count for rank"

I think a good idea, to help prevent players from playing the same people repeatedly & also limit collaboration, would be to add a Counter onto the profile pics of all the players in your games.
The Counter could have a set limit & after the limit is reached, whoever joined the lobby last, would be kicked out.
Now, since there are only so many players, that play the different game modes & settings, the Counters could be reset back to Zero at the beginning of each Season (at the same time as the LBs are reset.).

Capture the Flag Mode

Risk: Global Domination Facebook account, january 18th, 2020: "Since we're sharing WIP maps here's an idea for a Pirate map with a potential "Capture The Flag" mode."

The map is now in the game (it's Pirate's Bay), but the mode is not. I don't know if it's still under work or if it was canceled, but I think it would be a really fun mode. And it's been a long time since we didn't get any new modes (There were 70%/5 turns and Zombie added in 2018. Capital added in 2019. Than no more modes for 2020,2021,2022).

It make things refreshing to have new ways to play. So I hope this mode is still under work and I wanted to let know SMG that some people at least are really interested in seeing it in the game (and I hope we are many in that case)

I'll post the image of the concept/ map SMG published at the same time in #🔒risk-idea-discussion

I was thinking about the speed problem between pc and mobile and I think I have a workable solution. There could be a button on screen before you attack that locks you into autoblitz+autosplit mode. So you would choose your attacking troops like you do now and when you choose a target the attack happens and all troops move to the next field. It would be still a bit slower than a skilled pc player but there would be at least a chance for them.

New update looks cool in theory, but the only details we know is that there will be 4 game options locked behind premium. That feels weird to me. That feels like it's alienating new players and every player that just didn't have premium (yet), like myself. I managed to ladder to GM using primarily 6P Classic Progressive Fog Blizzards maps, that I would host most of the time. I was planning to move into Zombies games with Fog, and that will become very hard, since Zombies is not that popular of a game type. At time of writing, there are a massively above average 6 Zombies games, versus 34 World Dom. I do not have the numbers, but using a very biased dataset of this discord group, it looks like the non-premium members outnumber the premium members about 48 to 1 (At the time of writing, about 125 premium members online and about 6000 non-premium members). This specific change would not only limit what an approximate 98% of the playerbase can play, it could also help premium players grind 1v1 games: If the hosts adds fog for example, and kick anyone that has premium, they would be more certain that their opponent is not experienced with the settings. (One could read that as the game literally becoming pay-to-win, and I do.) All in all, we will have to see how the ranking system overhaul affects this, since we don't know any concrete changes yet. That might make 1v1 less prominent, which could limit the pay-to-win aspect this patch also introduces. Even if the pay-to-win aspect is completely fixed by the ranking system (for example by making all hosted games unranked and making the automatch system the only ranked system), that most likely wouldn't compensate for the rest of the patch. If you just want more money, just make a proper, longer Battle Pass where people could pay for more bonuses. This is not the way to do that. TLDR: Limiting non-premium members is a terrible idea that can very easily alienate a large percentage of the playerbase.

Eh, Rank as is, is a joke.
When anyone can just grind 1v1s, to get GM in around a week or get there on FFA, by setting up a 4 player lobby, then pop in a couple Bots & start, as soon as 1 player joins.
I think any game w Bots at the start, should be automatically Unranked.
In addition, if a player doesn't ready up, the Host should be given the option to either drop that player & wait for another to join or just start the game w 1 less player.

Here is an funny new mod idea. Its called "King Of The Hill".

The simple idea is that. King Of The Hill, will spawn randomly in every map condiment, and who ever haves at last 1 piece of the condiment will get a 1 point. Every 5 rounds the King Of The Hill will choose new condiment, but not the condiments close to it to prevent any one camping it and have equal chance to everyone to win it.
**Example: ** Points they receive every turn:
Player 1: Owns 3 lands 3 points
Player 2: Owns 2 lands 2 points
Player 3: Owns 1 land 1 point
Player 4: Owns 3 lands 3 points

The game can be ended in 2 ways. Here are the ideas l have been cooking so far.

First way:
You win the game by eliminating all player's. Just like classic.

**Second Way: **
Win by having most points after protecting King Of The Hill.
(The point goal could be 50 points for now, this can be subject change later.)

Fixes for pass & play with fog

Currently in pass & play with fog, there are some issues:

• During a bot or zombies turn, the stats (troop and territory numbers) of all human players are shown
• In the battle log, all players' attacks are shown, rather than just the attacks of the current player

Allow automatch to mix with your filters so you can automatch for more than just classic fixed. If a match for your filters hasn't been created, it should create the game and let others automatch into it (and select it from the list). Automatch should also be able to match you into ranked games that others manually created if there are spots open (This would let it automatch you into more than just the classic map, as well)

Risk Legacy, Risk Black Ops, the 2008 edition, and probably other versions have a modern card mechanic where the territory cards have 1 or 2 stars on them and you trade in stars for troops (instead of matched sets). The more stars you trade in at once, the more troops per star you can draft (2*=2, 3*=4, 4*=7, 5*=10, 6*=13, 7*=17, 8*=21, 9*=25, 10*=30 troops). This replaces the luck element of matching sets with a Push Your Luck approach that gives the player more control over when to turn in. I would love to see this get added to Risk: Global Domination as an option and I think it would be quite popular, as I'm sure everyone who has ever struggled to stay alive with a +4 set on 5 cards for their first turn-in can attest!

If bots are in a game the bots concerned should either attack or hold ground by logic rather than attacking with less troops than the opposition when forced and pretty much having an epic fail on their part. Also weakening themselves early to avoid a continent bonus or gain one should be based on logic instead of senseless bloodshed.

Frequency:
-> Once per season (every 3 months)
-> Lasts for duration of season

Rewards:
-> 1 avatar, frame, dice, troop, along with 1 map at end for competion

Functionality:
-> Campaign would be themed around a topic / objective
-> Free to play with no entry costs (also no token costs) - no Battle Points obtainable through these
-> 4 cosmetics + 1 map obtainable only through the one event
-> rewards are spread across the campaign levels, so 20 levels/scenarios would offer one every 4 levels completed
-> Any claimed item is tagged as an event item - tooltip displays event name - with icon to show exclusive

Introducing limited time events with exclusive rewards that are free provides a new progressive direction for players and a way to gain content for free - it also enables a lot more themes to come into RISK as it's not a full map pack with a large assortment of cosmetics.

Lot of new players play their first 1v1 games on settings that are bad for 1v1 (like auto, fixed, non-fog), and as a result they have a bad experience and assume 1v1s are all luck based. If the most skill based settings were made default for 1v1, then players new to 1v1s would have a better experience learning them.

You can then drag the arrow as long as you like and set it again as you like. In this way, you could tell your allies where you are attacking, where the other person should attack the opponent and what you are planning to do.

A way to use blitz, but stop once there's x ennemy left

So right now, either we do blitz, either we do manual rolls with random luck and slow, either we use x% of our army.

The problem is there's time where being able to use blitz with 100% of our army, but without taking the territory, would be really useful. You lose way less troops if you have an advantage. For example, I prefer fighting with 800 vs 500 , instead of 100 vs 500 at a time.

So it would be nice to have an option like:

Either a slide bar to stop once there's x ennemy left, like we would do with manual rolls
Either an option to tell how many kills we want to do, like "full kills, 1000kills, 100 kills, 10 kills, 1-2 kills" so we could fight with all our forces until we are satisfied.

Right now, to get access to smiley, we need to click on ourself, then we get access to the 8 last used, and if we want an other one, we need to click again, to get to the full smiley list where all the ones we own are on top and we can scroll down.

It would be nice to get to that list faster. It's not a major update, just a little quality of life.

Especially that more we posses smileys, less likely we will only use 8, so we will often have to go to the full smiley list to choose one. Would be easier if we could get there with a shortcut. On steam, there could be a keyboard shortcut, like there are already "C/S/T/Enter" . Maybe an other letter for the smiley list.

special territories and more specificly mountainous territories

note: i dont know if specail territories other than blizzards exist in maps i havent played yet but i assume no)

how would it work: a mountainous territory is a territory with a lot of mountainous terrain inside of it, the mountains make it very hard to move troops through them during a fortify phase but also make them easier to guard on defense.

specifics: during fortify phase you cant move troops through mountain territories as if there was a blizzard there but you CAN move troops into it and from it to a diffrent one, meaning if you have troops there you can move them anywhere, you can move troops there, but if you would need 2 turns to move troops through them into the other side. you can think of it as a blizzarded territory but it isnt completely removed from the map just harder to play around.

easier to guard on defense: the DEFENDER on DEFENSE of a mountainous territory rolle extra dice essentially making it easier to defend. how many extra dice? i was thinking 15% with a minimum of +1 dice but that might be to much/to little and realy idk this sort of thing reqiures testing and balancing.

how would it be introduced to new players: in the tutorial their should be something involving a special territory and the dialogue telling you about it, what it does and that if ypu encounter more diffrent specail territories you can click on them and then on a little i icon or something like that for more info.

visuals: for this specific one im suggesting just some triangles or small mountains inside the territory to indiciate it is mountainous. something in the style of what oversimplified does to show mountains in his videos.

why i think it should be added: mountain territoies and in general specail ones could be used to make more fun and diverse maps and can add on to the variety of maps in the game and i think it would overall improve our gaming expirience and quality.

Every "x" (the host decides the number before hosting the game but for example could be 3 turns) amount of turns the player who has the lowest number of troops gets eliminated from the game - his territories become neutral, if there's a draw among some of the players, then the one from those who has the lowest number of territories, if there's some draw again, then the one who made the turn last.

Regarding the #news_community_feedback question about capitals: please consider letting us have different options to choose from how we want to play capital conquest in a game.

Right now capitals, the way they are, are good for 1v1 games while feel stalemating for FFA. The change could potentially make FFA games better while totally ruin the experience for 1v1 players.

So I would say you have to understand the bigger picture when it comes to that.

Since we are collecting feedback on how to repair the broken capitals mode, why not incorporate a toggle for all of the options so that people can play caps however they enjoy? More options are always better than less.

Hey, there have been some people that have been banned for playing with a friend in a ranked game. The unfortunate thing is that, with all the alt names and the 500 possible friends, some people may not know they are playing a friend. So they could get banned without even knowing they were breaking the rules. Could you all add an indicator that lets the game host know a friend has joined their game? #risk_ideas

Would it be possible to limit the number of players/expand the number of players that can play on certain maps? For example, let's say a map has 20 territories. Would it be better for there to only be 4 players, max, in that game because the game would not be able to give everyone cards if no one trades early, or should the total still possible be 6? On the other end of this, I know that there are some massive maps in Risk, and more than 6 players could make sense as well. I know the classic Risk game only has 6 players, but this was designed for a standard Risk game. Would adding a couple more slots, say 2 more, to the possible number of players, be feasible? I get that game modes involving progressive cards would be hurt by this, but maybe if we limited the expanse to only fixed cards, that could make an 8 player game both feasible and attractive? I'd like to see if anyone else would be interested in additional slots for larger maps and less slots for small maps. #risk_ideas

I am a new player and spent more time than I’m willing to admit trying to get my account to use my Steam username rather than the default one. The username slider where you can click left or right to iterate through your available usernames works great, but it isn’t intuitive to a brand new user that it will toggle through linked account usernames (E.g. Steam, GameCenter, Facebook). Perhaps a tooltip on the right arrow button saying something like “Click here to view usernames of linked accounts” would improve the UX. Keep up the great work!

Communication for All

A key factor in a FFA strategy game is to be able to communicate with others. Right now, the only way is to ally everyone (wich can be dangerous if playing with fog of war) or a very very very limited one by using smiley and those limited number of sentence.

It would be nice if the allied chat would also be available for all (but like other suggested, with the possibility to ping a territory, with verbs like "attack/defend" ) . In real life, if you are playing Risk, we can communicate, ally or not. The difference between an ally and a non-ally would be that everyone see what you say if you use the general communication. So everyone saw you told , while white was playing, to attack a black territory. So allying people could still be useful + the same meaning as irl as an unofficial contrat (wich you can still break when you want), instead of just being: that's the only way to communicate.

Also, with those options, something like "Peace out" as an option for pinged territory would be useful: You are telling to your long-term ennemy of this game that you'll let that territory in peace, letting him know that you both have more urgent matters than killing each others, for now, for example.

So, to summarize : Communication for non-ally that would be visible for all. And a way to say "peace out" for some territory to let know people clearly what you are planning instead of guessing with smiley/ not attacking and hoping that the other will stop a war that you two had.

(Ping territorys/ using verb like attack/defend aren't part of this suggestion, but of past suggestion of other peoples that were upvoted a lot and could be really useful to reach a level of communication as good as in real life game party)

Battle Royal Mode

Each round 1 edge territory gets a [!] symbol, then once everyone’s had their turn for that round it becomes a blizzard.

Continues until there’s 1 territory left in the middle of the map.

Advantages:
• Makes every game end after a certain number of rounds
• Reduces turtling
• Simple for noobs to understand, just by playing it

Disadvantages
• Interferes and forces players to adjust their strategies
• Luck of where the new blizzards arise

Rank Milestones:
A/B test different ways to promote engagement in ranked games by providing some relative statistics.

Example 1: - using winstreak
Average all skill points gained across a winstreak (1+ wins in a row) and calculate an average.

From this, estimate how many games you are from the next Class (approx. 6 games from Expert)
For players at Grandmaster, switch to approx. leaderboard position for next win (approx. 15 place increase with next win)

Example 2: - using last 10 games
Calculate average rank change per game across the past 10 games (or across the past day)

From this, estimate how many games from going up or down a rank ( ⤵️ 2 games from Master // ⤴️ 3 games from Grandmaster) - can use Green for positive increase and Red for rank drop

For players over GM, could optionally show either:
(1) Approx. increase in leaderboard position // Approx. number of games from dropping to Master on drop
(2) Approx. position after next game (up or down arrows to indicate gain or loss)

Could optionally have these listed in the lobby page under "Trends" or "Stats" button, overlaying like Battle Log - and can include a graph to show the current changes and average taken below this.

A time limit for players for the whole game. Rather than a time limit for the whole game where i think this would also lead to a stalemate, the timer would be similar to chess. Where you are alloted an amount of time at the start of the game 10 20 30 min etc. you then have to complete your game within that time limit. 6 players would mean a maximum time of 1hr 40 min based on a 20 min game clock. If a player eliminates another they get to add a portion of thier game clock to thier own. this would lead to players having an incentive to attack. If a players game clock reaches 0 they are frozen out, they cannot attack (although there is a possibility this could be left on) but they are not able to regenerate cards or bonuses. If a game results with all players time reaching 0 all remaining players find peach and a portion of the skill points are awarded. for competitions placings would be decided by the organiser. I think this would lead to those wishing to play a game not having to leave at the end of a game because they have other real world responsibilities. If we know the maximum time is 2 hours then we can allocate that amount of time to the game.

Chilling Blizzards
Similar to unstable portals that move every other turn, support territories being:
Selected for 1 turn (giving a warning that it will be frozen)
Frozen for 1 turn (territory puck is greyed, number is coloured to represent owner)

While a territory is frozen, troops on it cannot be used. If player has nowhere to draft troops, their turn ends with a public popup "player X was frozen and could not draft!"

Dynamic blizzards enables heavy modification & randomisation to games, players can opt to go to a blizzard to be "safe from elimination" for 1 turn - great for progressive to avoid domino eliminations, in fixed games these would also create temporary safe spots so players can move their troops to make an attack without losing bonuses, encouraging more aggressive gameplay - where normally these tend to get into stalemates otherwise.

Could be a little chaotic using this + unstable portals together, but definitely adds an entirely different way to play maps (along with needing to adjust strategies for them too)

Dynamic blizzards could also potentially "block" players in (maybe a third variant for that)

A scenario where a player plays for 3 hours and places 3rd and loses points should not exist. This will make ranking also about dedication, not only skill.

An extended additional game mode. That enables the deployment/recruiting of different troops at an increased cost. For example; 1.- We could have the paratroopers, which could be deployed in an adjacent tile of the enemy territory connected to your territory. The idea is that they can go behind enemy lines/blockades at an increased cost, for example, they would cost 2 troops for a single troop on the ground, and it can be balance/implemented by you how you see fit. 2.- We could have a mercenary, that for the cost of 5$, you could turn any 1 troop territory on the board, making it a 2 troop territory. 3.- Heck, even an artillery troop that is worth for the ammo or who knows. The reasoning behind such ideas is because I have thought about what makes Risk great, and it is the richness in strategy you can use, Chess for example pales in comparison to Risk in that sense, but where Chess shines is in tactics, the tactics in Risk are mostly at the macro level. And what makes Chess a game that emphasises a lot in regards of tactics is that the pieces interact with the board differently.

Option to surrender- (End game automaticly with victory for the other) when only 2 players left alive

So right now, the option to surrender is to let the bot take over.

But it would be nice if, when there's 2 players left (so in a 6 player game, all 4 others are dead) that you can surrender and it automaticly end the game with a victory for the win that didn't. Bots could do the same.

It was an option on Risk on pogo.com site (doesn't exist anymore) : Even when a bot had taken over, if you had the whole map, 400 troops, and he has 9 troop left, he automaticly surrender instead of wasting more time.

So it would be faster when you already know it's over and just have to wait to die and there's nobody else that can do a thing. If there's is a third player, even if it's a bot, surrender would just let the bot take over, because as long as there is 3 players, we don't know what might happens. But when there is 2, if you/the bot has absolutely no chance to win, it will just allow players to get to a new game instead of waiting for the same outcome.

Use of VPNs/Proxies to violate fair play rules, ban evasion etc.

Potential Solution
Block use of VPNs & Proxies across Ranked (1v1 & FFA) while permitting them in Casual games (as these have no impact on rank)

Considerations
[1] Genuine use cases for VPNs & Proxies, e.g at work, not wishing ISPs etc. to know how you spend time.
-> Can have a heavily high limit where VPN/Proxy is available, e.g 1000+ games played minimum. Takes too long to effectively use to cheat, while letting longer-playing members not be negatively impacted.
[2] If a player is using a VPN/Proxy and tries to select Ranked mode, should have a clear popup letting them know why they can't play.
[3] Could optionally remove the "min. 3 game requirement for ranked/casual games" - as this would manage it more effectively
[4] If overall it is not a feasible suggestion to implement, this should still be considered for highly competitive / high reward events, e.g tournaments.

Caps first turn bonus troops

Problem
As a grandmaster, the most common way I lose 6 v 6 FFA Caps games is going last or second last. With annoying frequency, the player before me puts their first turn forces next to my cap, and blitzes them.

It's regularly successful, and on the turns where it isn't, my cap is brought to 1 or 2 troops and I need to spend almost all of my first turn reinforcing it, putting me woefully behind in overall troop count, and minimising the capability to take a territory.

Potential Solution

Rather than giving players bonus troops to place on their turn for being later in the turn order, instead place those bonus troops on their cap when they place them.

This both solves round 1 cap blitzing in all but some very weird circumstances, and creates an interesting strategic layer where normally you have terrible places to put your cap as the last player, but now because your cap is stronger, you can be a little riskier with it.

Problems with the 1v1 ranking system:

It's still a lot about noob farming and grinding countless hours in general.
If you wanted to limit your lobbies to high ranked players, then you would barely get any games going if at all.
Even if we were forced to play with players our rank only, a lot of top players know each other anyway, so that would be against the Fair Play Rules.
But even if the above points weren't the case, the grinders mostly play on their own comfortable settings and the map anyway and don't try anything else, which doesn't really help to evaluate the best 1v1 player overall, the top 1 player might just be the best at his own settings. On the other hand a player wouldn't feel much joy if he was forced to play something random.

Solution: Replace lobbies with automatch: you enter it with your preselected settings and map, then it tries to match you with as close ranked player as possible (the range increases every x seconds), finally the automatch selects the settings of the higher ranked player (since he is risking more ranking points) and the game starts.

Provide a game modifier option to play without cards. This reduces a significant luck element and makes the game more skill based.

General feedback

Being baited into games you don't want to play after all. This occurs when you join a game and the host immediately starts it before you can leave, or the host adds computer players then starts it before you can leave. With the former, I want to make sure there are no computer players in the lobby before I decide to play, and I sometimes can't do that if the host starts it right after I join. With the latter, the host adds computer players and by the time I can hit the button to leave the game, it starts it. Yes I can not ready up, but it's a waste of time and it's all too common.

Solution: Add a ready system on the Join screen as opposed to countdown screen. This allows players to see the game they are getting into, and doesn't allow the host to start it right away. If the host adds/removes players or computers, you automatically go back into not ready status

Computer taking over players. The newest update tried to fix it, but IMO inactive players should only have a neutral computer take over. The second part of this kind of goes with #1. With the current ready system, players who do not ready have a computer replace them in the game. I don't want to play the game at all if that happens. I'd want a way to back out without impacting rank (and coins for people who aren't premium).

Solution: Inactive players only have a neutral computer take over.

Stalemates in Fixed card games. Probably the most common thing. I like fixed cards as it doesn't rely entirely on luck with which cards you get (with Progressive, in the endgame it's all about who gets lucky with cards). However, Fixed card games typically have a player attack one territory, fortify, then get a card. This just keeps going over and over each turn until someone gets tired and either let's the computer take over or suicides into someone else, giving the remaining player(s) the win or advantage.

Solution: Don't have a good idea yet, thinking.

Suggested changes to competitive gameplay for top of leaderboards

Current brackets for class are:
Novice - 0
Beginner - 1K
Intermediate - 6K
Expert - 11K
Master - 16K
Grandmaster - 26K

At higher ranks it is difficult to match games Vs strangers as there's a very small group of players at top levels, they likely know one another across social platforms. This makes fair play rules difficult to navigate needlessly.

A good solution for this would be introducing a league:

For players >30k in rank only.
You can play up to 5 games per day while above 30k.
Rank points should be calculated less drastically for these games (consider our previous bounty & placement based point system to take over at that level) - as these gauge competitive skill much better.
Everything is automatched & anonymous - players do not see any stats, names or cosmetics whatsoever. Can optionally list opponents once the game completes, and everyone can spectate the game until the end (more motive with less games / day)
If you fall below 30K you are back into the standard ranking system (no longer in League with automatch and anonymous)
Game limit resets at 0000 UTC to match Battle Points reset - this limit only applies to league games (falling out of it and reaching it again cannot bypass this as a result)
Maps/Settings are selected through a raffle of players preferred settings (unique league preferences) So players can pick top 5 maps, preferred mode, card type, placement type etc. - each players choice acts as a raffle ticket, so more preferred is more likely to proceed. Maps are grouped by pack (Ibai/Arkeanos are grouped with Classic as "unlisted"), when a map pack wins, a random map is provided from map pack.

Part of the purpose of having a ranking system in a videogame is to encourage players to play and track their progress.
Having a single rank number (FFA LB rank) directly underneath your name in your player profile acts as an excellent motivator to keep players engaged and playing. The way the current SP numbers on two leaderboards is displayed is a VERY BAD long term design choice because it is confusing to new players and includes the 1v1 leaderboard which a smaller fraction of the player base cares about.

I suggest we revert the design of the main player profile to highlighting the players ffa rank immediately underneath their name and include other statistics beneath that or off to the side.

Automatically end a game once a player has eliminated all human and ranked AI/bot opponents. Since non-ranked AI/bot opponents do not impact on skill points, there is no value in requiring that these players be eliminated. This would apply to AI/bot players included in the initial setup of multi-player/FAA games or in 1 vs 1 games once, this game mode has been reinstated.

Problem Despite changes made, players 'botting out' is still a recurring problem as the 10 minute grace period allows them to rank higher than someone forfeiting directly. As such, higher rank players are botting out rather than forfeit still.

Proposed Solution Make it so that their rank is locked in at time of bot out, and only gets unlocked if they return. This will make it so some advanced players may 'bot out and come back' repeatedly but if they do this serially they will be caught and booted.

Background SMG wants to maximize revenue by increasing gameplay and user satisfaction. Users want an enjoyable RISK experience. Issue The current system has a severe loss penalty that often requires many consecutive wins to recover from a single loss. This results in: • Increased user frustration/poor reviews (reduces revenue) • Decreased playtime (reduces revenue) • Discourages users to try new maps (reduces revenue) • Increased app un-install rates (reduces revenue) • Increased noob hunting (high skill players seeking games with low skill ones) • Increased Smurf accounts (high skill players playing on a low skill account) • Increased sniping (high skill player specifically targeting another high skill player using a low skill account to lower their ranking) • Increased ambushing (high skill players nearly exclusively using premium settings and maps to maximize wins against those without regular access to these features) Solution Eliminate the loss penalty. Align rank increase with the level of the opponent. Win against a Novice = +5 rank increase Win against a Beginner = +10 rank increase Win against an Intermediate = +20 rank increase Win against an Expert = +40 rank increase Win against a Master = +80 rank increase Win against a Grand Master = +160 rank increase Benefits • Eliminating large rank drops reduces user frustration. • Increases playtime. • Encourages users to try new maps/premium content • Encourages users to play higher level opponents. • Eliminates sniping • Encourages users to play on primary account • Reduces the need to ambush players for easy wins

Improve the Home Screen:
Make the FFA ranking points the default with the option for players to toggle over to 1v1 if they so choose.
Add an explanation of the way ranking points relate to rank names in the help “?” or better yet a pull down graphic showing a players rank position in scale to all players. A new player shouldn’t have to go to Discord to try to figure out what the rank even means.

I’ve really grown to like the current graphic showing position in a rank and progress towards the next rank and think this could if properly displayed and explained be useful for new players.

Bring back the actual FFA rank number if you can display both it and the FFA rank points next to each other in a concise way. You might have to decrease the size of those sexy dice and troop displays to make room.

A week ago I would have agreed 100% with Pete’s suggestion above just to bring back the FFA rank number and get rid of the rest of this, but I think there is a way this new rank display could be used to get newer player excited as they move up through the ranks.

Actually add the A.I. option “Nothing”. As described in the game help there are three options: Automated, Neutral and Nothing. “Nothing: There will be no AI takeover if a player becomes inactive. However after 10 minutes they will forfeit the game.”

Adding more bot options and seeing how they are used is a good way to improve the game.
I think a bot that doesn’t give away that it is a bot but just places troops and then passes for a turn or two would cover for any internet problems. If a player hasn’t reconnected before their 3rd bot turn then they probably aren’t coming back and if they do the game has changed so much it hardly seems fair.

Add “Neutral” as an AI difficulty, where bots added to the game have neutral behaviour.

Fills space in the early game, which reduces turn order advantage on large maps, without the bots making random disruptive moves.

In the original Risk board game, and most newer versions, 1v1 includes a neutral, since it balances turn order a lot better.

This single change would double the number of existing maps viable for 1v1, vastly increase the number viable for 3-4 player, and open the possibility for far larger maps in 5-6 player, if SMG wants to create them.

Add a major tweak to balanced blitz dice. Currently you can lose more troops than necessary when attacking with bigger stacks. For example 4v1 that means 3 attacking and 1 defending troops is 100% chance, but you can lose more than 2 troops against a 1 stack with BB. Patient high level players adjust because of that their slider for most attacks, and safe more troops on average. This mechanic increases the speed deficit for mobile players and handicaps the average player, because this behaviour is not expected. My fix for that problem is to move the slider always to the lowest possible 100% roll (or calculate the rolls as if that is done), and still allow people to do below 100% rolls with big stacks, by adjusting the slider below the 100% point.

SMG needs to do something to encourage white flag quits and discourage app close quits.
(Pleas vote up or down on the above statement)

REASON: App close quits leave long turns with nothing happening and the appearance of deliberate bot out. White flag quits are the right way to leave if you have to quit for some reason. While a few players deliberately bot out with the intention to come back or bot out with the intention of leaving a bot problem to mess up the game for other players, the vast majority of bot outs (not caused by internet problems) are caused by players who just don’t know how to quit and simply close the app.

Four possible solutions:

1: Update the tutorial so it shows very clearly how to white flag and explains why it is the right way to quit. I suggest dialog along the lines of: “if you feel that you have lost or can’t continue to play for any reason the proper procedure is to…” …slam that white flag 😏

2: Include a white flag encouragement message in a small info bar at the bottom of the main screen that might cycle through various hints and tricks for new players (with the option to select “don’t show this” so it can be removed and will not annoy experienced players).

3: Place the white flag button on the game screen not hidden in a pull down menu. Label it “Quit” Add a ten second delay… if you click the flag you get a full screen count down… “You just surrendered, If that’s not what you meant to do click here.” If they don’t click the back button before the timer runs out then they get a full screen “better luck next time / thanks for playing” message before returning to the Home Screen.

4: Reward players in some way (maybe 1 gem) for each game in which they either play till the end (victory or elimination) or leave by use of the white flag. Players who finish 1st or 2nd could get an additional reward, but importantly players who bot out get nothing.
(See risk-idea-discussion for the source of some of these ideas)

Change How Many Troops are Moved with the Slider

How Many Troops are Moved Now

Background: A player chooses to attack a territory and elects to use the slider instead of a full blitz. Then the player selects the desired number of troops from those available on the attacking territory. This number is the amount committed into the attack action.

Assuming the attack is successful, the player is then able to move troops to the new territory. This number can be anything from the original territory regardless of the amount of troops committed to the attack strike.

Why This Does NOT Make Sense

Problem: As it stands now, players can simply change the outcome of moving large numbers of troops around a map. Players just need to choose a smaller amount to commit to each attack action. This bypasses the equations that would include the full number of troops from the attacking territory. This changes the risk.

Currently, there is no limitation of using the slider as opposed to using full blitz strikes. There isn’t any strategy around deciding which method is used. A full blitzing across the map has no advantage over setting the slider.

Add Strategy and Maintain Risk

Suggested Solution: After a player has attacked a territory, with the slider, they can only move a number of troops according to the amount they selected on the slider to this new territory. The troop moving scroll wheel would operate as if the player attacked with that number chosen on the slider. Any troops not committed to attacks would have to remain on their original territories.

This would give purpose and advantage with full blitzing across a map; it would introduce strategy while balancing the slider.

Random thought. It will be interesting to see the reaction.

BACKGROUND. Noob farming, where advanced players seek out novice players to specifically improve their rank, is wide-spread. While this is routinely acknowledged and discussed, no effective solution has been devised to prevent it.

PROPOSAL. Assign wins against expert level bot/AI opponents the same skill/rank points associated with a win against a brand-new novice human.

DISCUSSION. This accepts the reality that in the absence of a major rework of the ranking system, the practice of high-skill individuals playing low-skill individuals is not going away. It also acknowledges that expert bots are generally as good, or better, than novice humans. The proposal provides advanced players an option to improve their rank that does not require crushing/demoralizing new human players in unbalanced games (which routinely occurs today). By assigning the minimum skill/rank points to expert bot wins, it makes this path as slow and difficult as possible.

A new zombies mode only available in play with friends games:
“play with undead friends”
When your last troops are killed, you don’t quit you are spectating to see how your friends do, but now there’s something for you to do too.

“You can’t win, you’ve lost but now… you are undead”

On each turn cycle while zombies still exist on the board the dead player’s turn comes around and some of their lost troops respawn just like the zombies. Now your friends have to fight the main zombie hoard and a smaller army of human controlled zombies. You can continue to torment your friends for many turns. The final player might have to defeat up to 4 small human controlled zombie hoards in addition to the big green menace.

"Noob farming" has beeing talked around and I think it is actually negative to the upcoming and new playerbase, promotes frustrations, etc. And also because it devalues the ladder when there are systems that some players can exploit to go up in the ladder much more easily than others. Why it can't be solved with just a tweak in the MMR system? Punish harshly the amount of points acquired when the higher rank person wins against the lower ranking person while increasing a lot the points being lost when a high ranking person loses when playing with low rank players.... Then it is not profitable anymore to do this practice... Yeah they can win over 80% of the games, but for each win the actual earnings are measly, compared to the amount of points they can lose when a few vengeful and irrational kamikaze hits happens.

SMG should begin examining the possibility of adding a playing environment to the game. The typical user on a PC or mobile devices interaction with this environment would be as simple as a table surface on which the player would have control over the scale of the map on screen.

This would help solve some problems with the game maps extending too close to the edges of the screen and hit box overlaps that happen when trying to click on certain territories in the lower right and upper left of the screen. Hit box overlaps currently happen on at least some mobile devices when emotes pop out in the lower right and happen when certain territories disappear behind the help and battle log icons on the upper left.

But regardless of those problems which may be able to be solved in other ways, giving the player some custom control over how the map is displayed on their screen is a massive positive, and would allow for play on larger and larger maps to begin to be more practical.

And of course it opens up possibilities for a whole new revenue stream… SMG can sell custom table tops and even Risk themed objects to fill out the surrounding room in the future. Forward thinking design will allow for seamless compatibility with VR head sets and an immersive game playing environment for players who desire such an experience.

And best of all because these alterations would only be visible to the player themselves and their opponent might be playing “Traditional view” (what we have now). Backward compatibility to the view we have now would be maintained so there would be nothing for players who don’t want these features to complain about… meanwhile SMG can rake in the cash from all the new custom stuff they can sell, and you traditional player won’t even know about it.

Finally if we get lucky SMG will spend some good portion of that cash on in game improvements to make the on board Risk experience better and better.

Add a new variation of neutral bots. Blizzard Bots!

Acts like the current neutral bot except that it places troops next to and hits a single neighboring one (takes a card and passes) for its first 2 turns. After that if the human player has not reconnected then the bot would (over several turns) fortify into centralized stacks leaving ones next to its neighbors so that it would essentially surrender territory over time. At some time after the human player can no longer return (4-5 turn rounds or five minutes would be my preference) then the bot’s remaining stacks would turn into actual blizzards. Any remaining bot territories (1s or 2s) would just stay neutral and could still be killed. The bots turn would be skipped after that so it would add no more troops, but the blizzards would be permanent and would act just like blizzards as we now have them.

Might make for very interesting play… if you don’t want a blizzard near you then you have to hit the bot’s stack before it freezes.

(A variation of Blizzard bots with active bots might even allow players to attempt to steer the bot into a location where they wanted a Blizzard by manipulating the bots path in its last couple turns before it freezes.)

Depending on the map and number players it currently can take up to 50 rounds to place all Armies. In many cases a player may want to place several (or even all Armies) on a specific territory.

Say every two weeks or so. Force those who would cheat this way to make new accounts every time. This doesn't solve the problem but it would mitigate it. On top of reducing cheating through collaboration this also has the benefit of improving consumer confidence and reducing the overwhelming amount of complaints about collaboration in the public discourse which is a really bad image for the game.

Highly decrease the time you're allowed to be disconnected in 3 player situations. Currently you forfeit after 10 minutes of disconnection, which is way too much time.

Background: in a 3 player situation when one of the players disconnects, 2 of the real players will go after each other, thus resulting in one of them getting 1st while the other one getting 3rd, meanwhile disconnected player gets unfairly rewarded with 2nd. And that's assuming that player didn't suddenly come back to the game, some people pretend to be disconnected just to comeback a few turns later, so with the both opponents destroying each other they would unfairly get 1st.

Add Meaningful rewards towards the Ranking System!

I've personally gotten really tired of the grinding aspect for this game in recent times, since it has become tedious to constantly work your way up and you don't gain any rewards from it at all. I'm sure a lot of people can sense this feeling as well from time to time, so why not introduce some proper rewards, This is my example:

Reaching Grandmaster rank you achieve a Specific Map Pack and a couple of gems (like 100)!
Reaching Top 500 you achieve a Map Pack + Cosmetics (Can be a Bundle), emotes and more gems (can increase it by 100, so 200)!
Reaching Top 100 you achieve 2 Map Packs + Cosmetics (2 Bundles), more emotes and 300 gems!
etc...
And this just increases by 1 on Map Pack and Cosmetics (and a couple of more emotes) + 100 on gems each time you achieve a new milestone!

There can also be Season rewards, where if you hold smth till the end of the Season, you get rewarded with a Special Reward (Can either be an Amazon Prime Reward, Certain Number of gems more than ordinary milestones etc...).

This can potentially increase more Player Activity on the Leaderboard as a Whole and give Players more purpose to Compete against each other, rather than still just have it being mindless time waste of grinding for a potential rank, which just gains you bragging rights on this Discord and nothing else.

A smaller subset of players prefer premium maps, modes and/or modifiers. Even though classic world domination represents the majority of games, these players are typically under-represented on the current leaderboards. This is primarily because “classic” games tend to have lower win-rates than their specialized counterparts.

RECOMMENDATION
Create leaderboards devoted to Classic Risk World Domination.

DISCUSSION
This creates a more level playing field for those that prefer the original RISK game, while preserving existing leaderboards for those that enjoy specialized maps, modes, and/or settings. The net result would be four leaderboards:
• Classic World Domination Multi-Player
• Classic World Domination 1v1
• Specialized Multi-Player
• Specialized 1v1

The classic leaderboards would be limited to world domination mode using the classic map without premium modifiers. The specialized leaderboards would include games using any other map, mode, and/or premium modifier. This allows the majority of players who enjoy the classic game and/or those that don’t have regular access to premium content to compete against each other. It also provides a forum for those that prefer premium content to compete against their peers.

The neutral bot has been an excellent addition to the game as an option! This suggestion is to add a third option between Neutral and Automated. The 'unready' bot. A player who fails to ready up finds themselves replaced with whatever bot type has been selected in the settings. This can lead to games (of Classic fixed generally) where a player fails to ready up resulting in the neutral AI acting as pseudo blizzards. Instead a third AI toggle would allow for an automated AI at the beginning of the game but a neutral AI at any other point. Games of fixed classic are much improved by using the neutral AI because it is an effective way to mitigate the scumbag bot out strategy; players disconnecting temporarily and then returning on purpose. But having a neutral AI from the very beginning of the game is very impactful in a way that cannot be planned for in the lobby.

Create a toggle option to disable zoom in and move to position on double click.
The game sometimes reacts slower than I click and just zooms in, which wastes time that is not necessary. It's fine as an accessibility feature, but mostly unnecessary.

Daily Wheel Spin

Upon loading the game and wheel with a list of rewards will show up. You get one spin a day to win these awards. These awards can include:
-Gems(5-100 Gems and maybe more; the higher the amount the more rare)
-Special Frames, Special Dice, Special Characters(things not available to buy in store)
-Limited time access to already implemented Dice, Troop and Characters(able to use those for a day then you lose access?)

I imagine SMG and other people can come up with other things as well. Just a few examples.

The chances of getting less valuable stuff on the wheel is higher like some small gem counts to make it harder/rarer for people to get access to the special and non special customizables and higher gem rewards.

Why? A fun way to encourage people log in to the game daily, adds a extra layer of fun and enjoyment and of course some more rewards.

(Also if wanted SMG could add in where you get one free spin a day but can spend gems to unlock more spins. This could also replace the ability to claim 2 free gems a day as you would be getting that with this pretty much)

I would love it when we open the game, we would go straight to the gems daily reward. (I keep forgetting to claim them, I returned after years when gems didn't exist yet). And like adding a daily login bonus. Maybe build up a week or something like that? Many games do it, makes us come back to get the reward, and play since we opened the game any way..

I also would love more avators, or maybe be able to create it ourselves. Like a hairstyle/color, ... I am a blonde girl and I really dislike the only blonde I can use. And the other females are so far from myself I feel there is no other option.

Play colors.. I saw developers play in pretty nice colors on a video, and I was like why isn't it available for us?
Maybe give more color options to premium players I would've bought it faster just for that. Could just give it to everyone but I figured could be a benefit for the developers as well. Like when someone got my color which is pink there is no other I like and I would be so happy if turkoise was also an option.

Improve the Minimum and Maximum Rank Filters

Currently, setting the minimum or maximum rank filter(s) causes the game browser to filter out all games that do not have that specific setting. For example, if the minimum rank filter is set to beginner, the match browser excludes games with minimum rank settings of intermediate and above as well as games allowing novices.

This forces me to not set my minimum rank filter. I must still scroll through a bunch of games, I may not wish to play. It becomes a real nuisance for me to find games with players intermediate or above.

Solution

Please, make it so that setting minimum or maximum rank filters will mean that the appropriate games are excluded. However, all games that still fall within the parameters of the setting are still included. This would mean that a certain minimum rank setting would not exclude games with higher minimum rank setting; that a certain maximum rank setting would not exclude game with a lower maximum rank setting.

Minimum and Maximum rank filters would get more use, when improved in this manner. Players would be able to find the game they want faster.

In #news_community_feedback there was a question about the capital, and though most voted for not changing it, many voted for putting a limit to the number of troops on capital. And it is actually a good idea. However, there is one problem with this limit. In the middle and endgame, this limit is not very good, bcs it might be too low. The solution is to take some defined % of player's troops and that will be the limit, so it will grow with the game going.

Improve the Player’s Stats screen.

Add a bounty counter showing total players eliminated with a graph showing players eliminated as a percentage of players faced.

Show the leader board Rank position so that players beyond the top 500 can see their Rank.

Add 2nd and 3rd place finishes to the win/lose bar graph for FFA so that it shows WON and then more faintly 2nd and then 3rd place finishes as part of the LOST section of the graph. This way a player can quickly see what percentage of their loses are “good showings”. This will encourage newer players.

For FFA add stat records of the number of 3, 4, 5, or 6 player games played.

REASON: stats are cool, they are a quick record of a players efforts, and displaying them will encourage player engagement and return play. Additionally the better stat records kept, the better that ranking system can be made in the future.

Take your Risk game to the high seas!

The waters of certain maps are divided into small hexagons, “sea spaces”.
A portion of your troops can become naval on certain coastal territories designated “ports”.
Once they set sail they are shown as a troop number inside a small ship shaped icon and you cannot fortify troops to or from a ship once it is at sea.

Each turn your ships can each make up to two moves, moving from one sea space to an empty adjacent sea space. These moves are made as part of the attack phase of your turn. Each ship can each make 1 or 2 moves or 1 move + 1 attack. A move between empty sea spaces is made for free with no troops lost. Meanwhile on land the game continues as normal.

If your ship ends up on a sea space adjacent to a sea space occupied by an opponents ship then you can attack and kill some of their troops, kill all their troops to sink their ship (or capture it if you have enough troops to occupy both ships), or you can pass by peacefully.

Troops from Ships can come ashore at designated ports with a normal attack or come ashore on any other coastal territory with an attack disadvantaged similarly to attacking a cap to represent the difficulty of a beach landing. The attack stage ship movement bringing your ship into a sea space adjacent to a territory you wish to attack or a sea space occupied by an enemy ship you wish to attack and the attack itself can be made in the same turn (1 move + 1 attack). If you have made two sea space moves ending next to an opponent then they will get the chance to attack on their next turn.

Coming ashore to your own territory can be accomplished by moving the ship until it is in a sea space adjacent to the territory. You can then either move the troops ashore in the fortify stage or use 1 sea space move to land the troops.

Movements on the oceans would always be obscured with all the sea spaces under fog, while the land could be set to fog or not with the normal fog option.

Stop rewarding losing places.

Currently you can make it to Grandmaster by always losing. For example: you could just wait till in the 3 player situation you have more troops than one of the players and take that player out so to finish in 2nd and be guaranteed getting ranking points. Or you could just stack your troops into one army the entire game without doing a single attack, especially in the capital conquest mode, nobody will pay the attention to you, so you'll get taken last and receive the ranking points for the 2nd place.

Risk is probably the only game in which you can reach Grandmaster by never winning 😂

Modify the Automated bot so that bot outs are no longer rewarded. Human players who bot out should get last place.

Sure the Neutral behavior option is great but it doesn’t solve the problem. Some players want human players who leave to still be replaced with automated bots because it still feels something like a game of risk, and the game isn’t totally ruined. If a human player leaves and more than two minutes have passed and they have not reconnected then they should get last place, regardless of what the bot does after that.

If you quit a game by closing the app or worse just wandering away you are wasting everyone’s time and making the playing environment worse.

These kind of quits leave long empty turns with nothing happening before the bot kicks in and creates the appearance of many more deliberate bot outs than are actually happening. While there are a few players who deliberately bot out with the intention to come back or bot out with the intention of leaving a bot problem to mess up the game for other players, the vast majority of bot outs (not caused by internet problems) are caused by players who just don’t know how to quit and simply close the app or leave the app open and stop playing.

Using the White flag is the right way to leave if you have to quit for some reason.

Please don’t add to the impression that our game is full of cheaters and scummy bot tricksters. Your careless bot out will likely look the same as their deliberate bot outs. So please be careful and if you have to quit use the flag. That’s why the option exists. Quitting via the white flag is a sporting and honorable choice, showing respect for the game and your opponents and you can expect the same respect in return.

Because a white flag surrender registers almost instantly it will waste no one’s time.

And if SMG won’t say it then I will:

“Thank you for playing. We’re sorry you have to leave the game now. Please come back and play again soon.”

In Balanced Blitz, when you attack with more troops than the minimum amount required for a 100% win chance, you can lose (slightly) more troops (on average), as is well known. This is unexpected behaviour, due to how the Balanced Blitz algorithm tweaks the number of troops lost/left. And can currently be prevented by (always) slider blitzing with the minimum amount of troops required for a 100% win chance.

The used algorithm can currently already calculate the minimum amount of troops required for a 100% win chance. If it would use the outcome of that calculation as input for the troops lost/left calculation. You'll obtain the same (desired) behaviour as using the slider for a minimum loss 100% win chance.

The same issue occurs when attacking big stacks with small attacks (but now the defender can't limit the losses with a slider). So in similar fashion the algorithm should also calculate the minimum amount of defending troops needed for a 0% win chance (for the attacker) and use that (again) as input for the troops lost/left calculation.

At the end of a turn cycle (once the last player goes, and before the first player takes their next turn), what if an animation of Santa Clause flew around the map and randomly dropped packages on a few territories. When the package falls from the sled and hits the territory, the package would open/unfold and the territory would receive 1 free troop. Just a little gimmick to roll in the holiday season.

Find a way to balance out the 1st player's advantage in 1v1 games based on a map's size. To give +3 troops for the 2nd player in his first turn only works in some maps. The more territories a map has - the more meaningless the three troop bonus becomes. The way how it works now, basically it's impossible to have proper 1v1 games on maps which have over 45 territories, so fixing that issue would bring a ton of new maps to 1v1 on.

Test Blizzard bots as an optional variation of neutral bots.

Any human players who disconnect would be replaced with a neutral bot but If and only if a player or players don’t ready up they are replaced with a modified automated bot, a blizzard bot.

The blizzard bot is a slow moving and position consolidating automated bot. It hits a small number and fortifies in such a way to minimize its stack numbers, and move them towards randomly selected blizzard locations. After five to six turn rounds (maybe more: I haven’t play tested the idea yet) the bot would be consolidated to an appropriate number of large positions in the appropriate positions (depending on the map: three for classic) and the bot’s large stacks would then freeze and become actual blizzards. The bot would then flag so it would take no more turns and any remaining small troop locations would be neutral.

Offer chances to unlock a select map by winning a few games. A good example of this would be one of my favorite maps, Trigon's Labyrinth:

Win 10 games total on this map in ranked matches to permanently unlock this map.
Win 30 games total on this map in ranked matches to unlock the other modes for this map.
Win 50 games total on this map in ranked matches to unlock the blizzard, fog of war, and portal functions

The reason I suggest this is because people who do not have the money to unlock these maps may get deterred from playing the game if they are not able to get other maps and have to only spend money to unlock them because 2 gems a day takes a year of dedication since premium is also a pain to get for the tokens to unlock the gems in the pass.

This can apply to all maps and takes long enough to do that people who do not want to grind for that long will pay because winning 10 games in ranked on a map that will not pop up that much takes forever.

Add a way to Skip to Phase x. Alot of times I just wanna stack one spot and skip the other phases. Maybe add a button bar with phase names (Set Troops, Attack, Fortify, End Turn) that we can use to skip to the phase we want. Side note: I'd also like the option to select a territory to autoplace troops on each turn and skip to the end phase, like an autopilot button if we need to be afk or something, this will also protect against unwanted botting out.

No changing lobby slots from the lobby. Show the slots (player, ai, n/a) from the map select screen so everyone knows what each lobby has. Too many people, myself included, will add bots to try to get more players to join and then remove the bots to get the lobby full of players. But some people want to join games with bots, some dont, some want to play 6 person ffa, some players want something else. By making it possible to change lobby slots from the lobby it makes it impossible to know what game people will actually be joining at ready up. Sometimes I'll skip ready up just because the host started the game with bots or not a full 6 person party because it's impossible to know what the game will start at. It doesn't seem fair to the other players when some players leave due to unknown/unwanted settings and it wastes a bunch of time for people who wait in lobbies only to leave after finding out the settings weren't what they expected.

I suggest a few changes to the game lobby. The first one being that instead of kicking everyone when the game host leaves, make the second player to join the game the host. The second suggestion could be to allow the host to change the settings while in the lobby instead of having to leave, kicking everyone else, to change the settings and to prevent abusing this give players a 5-10 second notice after the settings have been changed. Both of these changes might be better to incorporate into play with friends as they may be abused in global domination.

So with all this talk about the ranking system and ways to fix it and what is viable or not. Instead of making a drastic cha he to start off I have an idea that can help make these exploits of reaching the top of the leaderboard nearly impossible. Which this can also help somewhat with collaboration In a way. Take away the option when creating a game to select what rank opponents can join the game. With the skill level being close between the ranks below and above you being so close this in itself is the reason the rank system has exploits. Make it to where when someone creates a lobby the only players who can see said lobby is 1 rank above and below the player. When it become grandmasters, the only players who can see grandmaster lobbies are grandmasters themselves. Example. I’m an Expert. When I create my lobby the only players who should see my lobby are Intermediates all the way to Masters only. This keeps the grandmasters who only care about how high they can rank up while only beating beginners from doing so.

Entrenchment Modifier
This would be a game modifier for all game modes. Either you turn Entrenchment On or Off. If turned on, troops that do not move and stay in the same territory for 5+ turns will receive an extra defending die. This extra die will stay with the troops until that stack moves to a different territory. Once the troops move it goes back to normal dice.

I can see this modifier as a way to encourage players to hit other players' stacks and overall needing to have a new strategy to play this.

Regarding Skill points and Rank Resetting at the end of a season - resetting ranks to baseline for the class might not be as good as resetting ranks 50% of the way to Baseline of the rank - IE if a Grandmaster is at 41K Skill Points it doesn't drop all the way to 21K (current baseline for the rank), but instead drops 50% of the way and they start at 31K skill points for the next season - that way the leaderboard stays intact in sequence since all drop simultaneously and those who have earned their positions and ranks keep them but the leaderboard doesn't stagnate... As example - say #1 on the leaderboard is at ~55K (and Wow! to @thick girder) - they would drop to ~38K to start the next season (so unless they play and play well, they will be overtaken, but would retain the lead going into the next season)

Have an increment option when creating a game. Increment adds 1 to 5 seconds to the turn timer after each attack (depending on what it's set to). This will take away the advantage of being able to click faster, allowing tablet players to better compete. Increment will also make shorter turns possible, preventing stalling. A turn could be set to 10 seconds with a 2 second increment, for example.

Add a player name label list feature in game, by either adjusting the friends list feature or making a similar “player I don’t care to play again” list. This feature would just be visible to you.

What I suggest is when you see player names in a ranked lobby they would be labeled with:

No label: you haven’t played them before or didn’t label them
Small ✅: you liked their play previously (equivalent to the current “friend” list request)
Big Dark ✅ : you really liked their play (equivalent to they are on your “friends” list)
Small ❌ : you either suspect cheating or simply don’t care to play them again
Big Dark ❌ : you never want to play them again and they are blocked from your lobbies (they would only be visible in the players I’ve labeled list)

This would cut down on cheating reports because often we have a vague suspicion of cheating, but what we really want is to avoid that player. No need for SMG to get involved if you could just avoid players more easily. And no need to ban or investigate, if enough players suspected cheating the player would receive a sort of soft ban of finding many less lobbies, and if more obvious cheating was witnessed then obviously that would be reported via the normal in game means.

Fix Neutral Inactivity Behaviour?

Currently, if a player fails to ready for a game, that player is replaced by a bot. These bots behave like the bots that replace players that go inactive. For the Neutral option, for inactivity behaviours, that means they are passive even though they have started the game as bots (even having that little robot symbol over the player frame). However, AI bots introduced to the game from the lobby have automated behaviour.

I don’t know if this was intended or if this is a bug.

I suggest that any AI that is a bot from beginning of a game have automated behavior. It should only be the AI that takes over for inactive players that should go passive.

Please fix your Unstable Servers ASAP!

To Follow up on what else to Fix from Pete's idea...

Basically, Lots of Players (Including me and JJ as known Victims) were either kicked out of the game or crashed for no apparent reason, while having Connected Internet and couldn't come back in the game, resulting in Rank Points Losses.

In my case I crashed for no reason, while my Internet was fine (this happened a while back before New Years). I couldn't come back to the game and lost Ranking Points, which was completely out of my Control and made me give up from grinding indefinitely.

In JJ's case he got kicked out in the middle of the game, while also having a stable Internet Connection.

So to be more clear about this, SMG has started having some really **SERIOUS ** Server Problems, forcing more Players to get bugs/issues like this, yet it's not their fault and totally out of their control. I've never had issues like this before the New Ranking System and compared to other Games I played, I had no Crashes whatsoever.

I know this is already being planned in Late 2023 Roadmap as a Fix, but honestly, A Lot Players will lose their mind over this and give up playing Ranked (which is already apparent just by seeing more and more Players complain about it in this Discord Server or somewhere else), if this doesn't get fixed sooner than that!

Or even novice-beginner, intermediate-grandmaster.

For low rank players it's frustrating and unmotivating to get constantly beaten by high ranked players, and for high ranked players to constantly beat low ranked players is just really boring, not challenging.

SMG please add Mystery Mode
An option in which all players play incognito.

Just like the choice we have between automated or neutral bots, fixed or progressive cards, we should also have the choice to set the game mode to “Player Name” or “Mystery Player”

“Player Name” mode would look and play out exactly as we play now.

“Mystery Players” mode would show no names and no avatars and have no identifying information about the players or their stats.

Each Player would have the color puck (current background behind the avatars) as a color marker with no border and no avatar. They would be each be assigned the name of their color. The Red player would literally be called “Red Player” in the battle log for example.

This Mode would be active from the beginning of the lobby, so no one would know who you are and you wouldn’t know who they are.

This would be a powerful solution to several current problems in the game. Not least of which is it would give all our streamers and content creators the ability to play without fear of targeting or stream sniping.

Players would be free to filter for either mode or both. And content creators and high ranked target players would be free to play all their games incognito if they wished. Because all players in the mode are incognito and you don’t see their name or stats until the game ends… this might also creat an interesting twist of mystery but as it a became common mode it would not even necessarily give away that there was a “known” player in the game.

Make an option when using slider in BB to use TR rolls, so it’s like slow rolling more than 3 at a time. Its purpose is to save time until you get comfortable blitzing when you originally had <50% odds of winning. Perhaps it could be a switch above the slider that switches between BB and TR rolls, which resets back to BB at the end of your turn.

submitting the idea of having a percentage slider in fortify mode just like we have in attacking mode. It is much difficult with some mice to have the time when the stacks are excessively large in some mode to be accurate enough without running out of time.

Progressive capital gamemodes are often prone to stalemating with sets giving large amount of troops. This leads to very large stacks across the board that need to be divided. Fortifying stacks can take up the majority of your time window each turn which negatively impacts the overal gameplay. The introduction of a slider similar to the blitz slider when splitting troops and fortifying could solve this issue.

Concurrent troop and cap placement in fog. During fog of war semi-auto, manual, and cap caps, one starts the game by placing your troops/cap. Since no one can see what you are doing, there is no reason not to let everyone do this at the same time. This would save a few minutes at the start of the game without changing any of the gameplay.

Battle Royale variant of RISK

Weekly Event

Outline
Players are dropped into a Fog of War map without any bonuses & must locate the exit
The exit is randomly placed as a golden territory with EXIT in territory puck
The fog covers territories entirely (you cannot see sea lanes or territory sizes at all, unless you are on or beside the territory. You are unable to see if a section ahead is blocked or not.

Joining
You queue to join a royale match, floor 1 has up to 6 players at a time, later floors have larger player counts. You have 10 turns to locate the exit, if you fail to locate it you are eliminated.
When a player is eliminated, another player queued to play is placed into the game (given 3 random territories)

Generation
To ensure a level playing field, maps are randomly generated by a selection of default territory shapes.

Progression
Completing one floor brings you to the next floor, if not enough players are available, you are queued (and can play Single Player or casual games while waiting)
Each floor has a higher player limit, larger territory count, and introduces blizzards hidden by fog of war, random portals popping up, etc. - there would be a max limit based only on how many players can reach a next level.

Rewards
At the end of the event you receive a reward based on the highest floor you've reached, this could include (with randomised results):

Small Battle Gems box
Small Gems box
Unique cosmetic(s) only obtainable in Royale mode
Title (that can replace Country displayed) for each season, based on which floor or which event (e.g Royale 2024 participant, or Floor XIV)

If SMG is unwilling or unable to implement a lobby return system to provide a solution to unwanted bot outs at start caused when players don’t ready up, then please consider a new premium lobby system.

This would consist of granting current premium players (or perhaps players who pay an additional small charge) the ability to host a double lobby.

These premium lobbies would have up to 12 spots. The host would indicate how many players they want in their game and the lobby would be double that size. The host could still kick players, etc. as normal.

Once there are more than enough players to fill the game the host can fire and the game is filled with the host plus randomly selected players from the lobby. If anyone doesn’t ready up they are automatically replaced with one of the additional players from the lobby.

Once the game successfully fires with a full set of players. The remaining lobby is reduced to regular size and a remaining player is assigned as host randomly. They may wait as normal for that lobby to fill and fire it when they please.

In this way non-premium players could get in games with premium content more often since a premium host could basically create two games at once, and premium players would no longer have to deal with bots from turn one in their games if they wanted to avoid it.

Ranked 2.0: Automatch + Custom playlist of settings

Currently people get Grandmaster by playing the most gimmicky settings (e.g. 3 bots) and this just completely destroys the value of ranked and ranks. Apparently anyone that can find obscure settings and master them are worthy of being Grandmaster...

I suggest changing ranked to where you auto-queue for a game. You don't get to decide the settings anymore, there will be a playlist of different viable settings that will be used for said ranked matchmaking system.

This will raise the value of Grandmaster, stop the gimmicky settings and also greatly reduce the likelihood of collaboration

Introduction of Early Access for new features/game-modes
Anytime BIG changes are made it can be quite confusing, learning a brand new gamemode and needing to check FAQs rather than entirely in-game makes it difficult to engage and showcase the best it can be.
To avoid this I'd recommend introducing an Early Access feature.

Lets say we're introducing a new feature - Unstable Blizzards - and want to see how it can be improved before it goes live to everyone.

The new modifier is accessible in an "Early Access" game-mode. What this would mean:

Stats are tracked as "Early Access - FeatureName" - but do not count towards your global stats - any bugs etc. will not have any lasting negative impact.
rank is unique to these stats too.
Each Early Access event has an integrated feedback form. You can give a reaction of: I love this! | I like this. | I don't like this. (heart, thumbs up, thumbs down reactions)
Once you've added a reaction - you have the option to provide a comment on why you loved, liked or disliked it.
Games would be automatch only - this will rotate through player1's owned maps and give a random result, or can be tailored to a specific map / mode / settings
Early Access should include "X players are playing!" - est. wait time: 3m (anything over 5 minutes listed as >5m - and is checked every 2 minutes to reflect most recent wait times)

To participate in Early Access you would need to not have any active strikes against your account (you are not banned at the timme)
This could be great as a RISK_InfinityToken Premium feature. as it is an additional incentive to Go Premium - while also getting to try new things and help to improve / shape how RISK is in future!

Key Benefits:
-> Large scale feedback & community input on new features before they go live. Can result in things being discontinued if they'd not provide meaningful value to RISK as a whole before further development
-> Bugs can be reviewed & fixed before it affects most players
-> Great way to see hype around new changes - can be compared to previous events
-> An "on live" area where bugs are to be expected
-> Tutorials / Tooltips for new modes can be added / tweaked based on feedback during this time
-> Can provide unique event-exclusive rewards to players that participate & provide feedback, whether it's a unique dice or badge etc.
-> Of course a great incentive to go premium heart

**Update the fair play rules to make it so players are allowed to play with people they know in ranked 1v1. **

A ranking system is only competitive if the best players play each other, but all the best 1v1 players know each other on discord, so the "fair play rule" limits the competitive potential of the 1v1 ranking system. The rule is good for FFA to prevent collaboration, but there's no reason for the rule to apply to 1v1.

SMG please test Tournament mode as an option in play with friends.

The first generation version could just be a new mode within play with friends. A special lobby code would allow access to a larger lobby perhaps as many as 18 players and would then randomly assign players into three simultaneous games with the same settings. After all the games were complete the same code could be used again to repeat the same game settings with different player match ups. This would allow for interesting round robin style play and act as a solid test platform to work out the kinks for future integration of tournament play support into the game app.

If combined with my previous idea for Mystery player mode, this kind of round robin play would allow for a very fair and skill evaluative game mode. You would play three games, each time against randomly assigned players from the group and you would not know which of the players in the group you were currently playing (until it is over since in Mystery Mode each player is just an anonymous color and mystery avatar)

I think in every gamemode if a player leaves the game, they should have a time limit before they 1, cannot join back and 2 have their position locked in place. It shouldn't be a long amount of time, something like 3 - 5 minutes. This will prevent people botting out and rejoining the game later and it will mean the remaining players don't have to worry about having to take out the bot to gain a placement.

SMG should test a stadium spectate mode. For the first test of concept I suggest up to 36 Risk avatars could appear on screen in a full screen pull down menu alternate view of a ongoing game.

So basically up to 6 players in game with up to 36 additional risk avatars able to emote like a raucous stadium crowd.

The spectators box (grid display of emoting avatars) could be ignored entirely by players or brought up on a second monitor or on their main screen if they can stand the clutter, but spectators could see both the game and the reactions of others watching.

This would be a relatively simple but very good testing ground for concepts that may be very popular as the games fandom continues to expand.

SMG could expand the app user base to spectators as well as players and could of course find new revenue streams that would come from spectators.

Adding new maps with 100 plus territories and adding in game scoring based on in game mission achievements would be great game additions that would come from this mode being optimized. In Melee mode you could lose the game in a traditional risk game sense but win on points if you completed enough missions during the game.

Remove Bot Takeover for Unready Players

For fixed card games, AI bot takeovers for players who fail to ready up can impede the normal flow of a game. This is especially apparent when using the neutral inactivity behaviour.

I suppose on larger maps, and with progressive cards, this may be seen as less of a problem and more of just a strategy changing element. However, do all player see it this way? If I start a game without AI bots in the lobby, I am looking to play a game without AI bots. I would like to believe that for other game hosts this may also be the case.

Solution

I suggest removing the bot takeover over for unready players. Alternatively, a game modifier option could be created for toggling the bot take over on/off. Rework the game setup code.
If any players fail to ready:

🔸 Only setup a game with those who were able to ready up.
OR
🔹 Return players back to the lobby, and maybe auto-kicking those who failed to ready up.

I believe in at least providing game options for any of the above. I feel it would give players and lobby hosts more control over their games.

A Fortify game mode. You have to hold a territory for five turns (for example) and it turns into a "blizzard" of your colour, giving you a point and letting you deploy the troops elsewhere. The game ends when one player has claimed enough territories for other players to tie at best. I believe that game mode would offer a nice mix of attack and defense and force a lot of activity.

I play a mixture of PC/Mobile. There is a noticeable speed difference when playing on mobile which does hinder you in some game types or large maps. Just increasing the turn time to 90 or higher doesn't fix that issue as the advantage is still there for the PC user. I assume SMG would know what device a user is playing with - I'd suggest to give those on mobile devices a % increase in time e.g. in a 60s game PC users get 60s and mobile players get 72. The % in the example is 20% but this could be altered depending on feedback as to what the time disadvantage is in a PC vs Mobile environment.

My suggestion is to make it such that you choose which type of card bonus you want to play with and then get thrown into a random game on a random map with people at your approximate skill level. This should have the added benefit of finding faster games and, if implemented correctly, could even prevent cheaters from joining the same game as they would not know which game they would be joining.

This might be overkill, but I think there could be a setting called Semi-Manual (placement). What this means is at the start of the game, half of the territories will already have a troop on them and the remaining half will be up to the players to decide. This will be a faster version of Manual placement. I've noticed in auto placement matches that one or two players will have a big group of troops while the rest of the players have troops scattered all over the map. This is lucky for those one / two players and unlucky for the rest. This mode will help prevent "luckly starts" and give the players a fair chance to pick where they start.

Add a inspect mode into the game. It would work a little like the bonus overlay, but would turn every territory neutral (only visually of course) and if you click one you see all territories that it connects to. It could be indicated with the attack arrows. This should work on any territory on the map, including those that you already hold.

Add New bot options.

Some possible examples:

Unstable bots: Switch back and forth between Neutral and Active

Mama Bear: Bot adopts a player (selected by some algorithm based on position and troop count). Positions it’s self near the player and only attacks out.

Rebel bots: are created from a players own troops on a single territory similar to zombie infection and then only fight the player they have rebelled against.

Perfect endgame bots: add a certain probability (say 30% chance) that any active bot no matter what personality will switch to optimized endgame strategy if it survives into a two person end game. This would help decrease the effectiveness of botting out to get second. Players would be more apt to kill the bot sooner giving it a more appropriate low placement if they knew there was a chance that it would actually put up a fight in the end game.

Mimic bots: Bots programmed to emulate play styles of certain top players. Of course they would not be as good as the actual players with out some serious A.I. breakthrough but they could be made much better than the current non strategic bots.

And of course those better bot options that you just thought of.

Then, if you want to spectate a certain match between people then there can be an option to input a code to be taken to that match.

Finally, I know that sometimes someone spectates and it’s at the end of the match so if possible, it would be nice to have a rewind and fast forward option to get to the parts you wish to watch.

Fix balanced blitz when attacking with large stacks in caps. I recently had the following three examples happen in battles (and many more). Ex 1: 1772 troops attack my 673 troops on a cap, they only lost 575 troops. The probability of this, or something more extreme, happening in true random is approximately 1.05 * 10^-21 according to a brute force script I wrote to calculate the odds. Ex 2: 3029 troops attack my 1373 troops on a cap and attackers only lose 1370 troops. Probability of this or something more extreme happening: 4.62 * 10^-28. Ex 3: 880 troops attack my 373 troops on a cap and attackers only lose 334. Probability of this or something more extreme happening: 1.62 *10^-11. Basically these outcomes should nearly never happen. Balanced blitz especially shouldn’t make this more likely since then it’s doing the opposite of what the name suggests. This needs fixing!

The capitals problem seems wider spread. I also tested it on true random. Manual dice work, but automated true random has the same problem.
There is also an issue with smaller cap rolls. Even attacking a 10 or 20 often results in the same amount or even less troops lost for the attacker.
It seems like the extra dice is there sometimes but totally gone other times.

A little Quality of Life update: Search bar for map when creating a new game

When we have only the basic map or basic+premium, it's not that bad. But when we have like 50 maps, if we want to play different map, we need to scroll a lot looking for the one we look for.

A search bar would feel better: Just start writting the name of the map you want and it appears (like if you write: Eur, all maps starting with Eur would appear). And there could be a way to search for map packs too. There are 19 map pack, including premium, so we could search for them with numbers. Like 1 = premium, 2 = second map pack that was available, etc.

And maybe an other way to show the 2 weekly maps. Like number 0 = show the 2 weekly maps

It would be super fast: just tap a few letter to get your map, or a number to see the maps from a specific map pack or scroll down/up if your map is close from where you are.

Without changing the gameplay, it's a little welcome add to any menu/ storage with lot of stuff.

My vision for Ranking: 6 ladders • 1v1 • Zombies • Capitals • Fixed • Progressive If there are only two players then the game would be considered a 1v1. If there are more than two players and Capitals or Zombies, then the game counts as Capitals or Zombies. If there are more than two opponents and no Capitals or Zombies, then the game counts based on the card bonuses, either fixed or progressive. The sixth ladder using an average SP. This not only makes it so people cannot be ranked #1 playing only one game mode but incentivizes people to play more, by causing multiple incentive structures. It also shows specifically what each person is a Grandmaster in, which allows transparency on the leaderboard. Newer players who play one mode would be able to say I am the ___th ranked prog or fixed player. And not have to compare themselves to caps players. Not being suggested at this time but I think is important for this idea is much longer seasons (12 month or more) and a complete rank reset of all ladders, once.

I have an idea for what I feel could make a fun and strategic gamemode. Understanding this would first require a team battle system developed first. I call it Gaurdian where 2-4 teams are assigned where 1 player on each team only has 1 troop and cannot obtain any troop counts higher than 1 on any territory. This player is known as the ruler. but the ruler can move through any stack less than or equal to the lowest stack of his teammate(s). The object of the game is to be the team with the last ruler. Maybe make a hard lock that dosent allow teammates to take over another teammates last territory or maybe just their rulers last territory. This is alot and even if concidered probably years out but I hope people find the idea interesting at the least heart

Leaderboard Rework Wanted?

I see suggestions for additional leaderboards. These would split up 1v1 and FFA into the different game modes. I must say I humbly disagree with this idea. How many leaderboards do we need?

I certainly agree with splitting up skill points, when it comes to 1v1 vs FFA. However, I rather would like to see a single overall leaderboard put back into the game. This wouldn’t be the same as the old one. Players would still need skill points in both 1v1 and FFA. The Overall leaderboard would calculate a player’s skill points together somehow to get a single RISK score, probably with some weight toward FFA.

I do want to see that players are able to pick which leaderboard rank is highlighted on their profile.

With an idea floating around that would force players into playing automatch games for rank points, I don’t see why we need more leaderboards. If the automatch system was also modified to include more maps and different modes, the game would change. Players wouldn’t just be able to play that one map and setting to get success. Risk would become a game of who is the better overall player, of everyone who plays all those maps and modes in the automatch rotation.

The maps and modes in the rotation could be voted on in the Risk discord server.

We wouldn’t need any more leaderboards.

Yet, I do believe the community should be able have access to more player statistics. This information regarding favorite maps, game modes, card and dice types can be used by others to create their own third-party leaderboards if they so wish. These stats could be added to the in game profile somehow or just to the leaderboard webpage profile.

Summary

Return a single overall leaderboard back in.
Maintain FFA and 1v1 leaderboards.
Expand automatch to include more maps and modes.
Force automatch for ranked play.
Add more stats to profiles, about player favorites for the community to utilize.

An other suggestion about leaderboards

So I saw many suggestion about leaderboard recently. I mostly agree with @normal charm 's suggestion, except on one point. The suggestion about splitting on the modes seem logical. But like @fallen idol 's suggestion, I think it's important to keep splitting leaderboard between prog and fixed:

1V1
Prog World Domination
Fixed World Domination
Prog Caps
Fixed Caps
Prog Zombie
Fixed Zombie
Prog 70%
Fixed 70%
Prog 5-turns
Fixed 5 turns

Reason 1: Progressive and fixed are 2 very very different way to play the game and very different strategy. So it's something big enough to consider in a leaderboard. Being top 10 in progressive doesn't mean you'll be top 10 in fixed too, same for the opposite.

Reason 2: Prog and fixed doesn't have the same consistency in skill points, like @thick girder explained me. I was asking how he did to have so much skill points, and we had a discussion where he explained me that I sure couldn't get that much if I only play fixed, because prog has more consistency, where fixed, you can't control everything. It depends on the position, what others do, if anyone suicide on you or give the game to an other, etc.

Reason 3: The second biggest difference in the gameplay is the mode. It's less big then prof/fixed, but still very important, where you have an important variation that change your strategy.

Exemple 1: For exemple, one of the major game in the Esport, StarCraft II, split his leaderboard: 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, Archons . Coop mode is separated from that. Same with arcade modes official leaderboard, all split (different games in this mode).

AND since the race change the gameplay A LOT, they even split the leaderboard for the 3 races for each mode.

Exemple 2: Even Chess.com split leaderboard for Blitz, Bullet, Rapid, Daily (same game but different timer), and the other mode (variations of chess/ the goal).

I think it should be clearer whether you are allowed to play public casual games with friends or not. They should just say "no friends in public matches" (in case it's prohibited, I'm still not sure to this day) as they do it with ranked matches since the line "play public games with strangers or private games with friends" doesnt exclude playing public with friends, it just states that public games can be joined by anyone and private games only by people who got access to it. That might prevent some discussions as to whether this counts as teaming.

Introduce some non-static maps. For example maps where you have changing tides. Occasionally some territories would be connected and occasionally there would be water between them. With this in mind you can even design some maps such that it is impossible to reach one place from another making you need to wait for the tides to change. This might make the dynamics of the game more interesting as guarding bonuses would become a bit trickier. Same thing goes for things like card blocking, kill guarding etc.

Please consider adding “❔ “ along with the thumbs up and down in communication options with allies in game. It would be useful in at least two ways:

1: If you miss a communication as often happens you could just hit the question to prompt your ally to repeat their request. (Of course a chat log would be even better).

2: you could hit the question mark after “attack red” for example to make it clear that you are asking your ally and trying to agree on a plan rather than dictating an action which seems to be what is usually assumed with the current set up. You could more effectively communicate two options for cooperation and find which plan they agree to with the help of this one symbol.

Of course the “ 👍 👎 👍 👎 “ combo that is sometimes used after an attack request can effectively communicate if your ally agrees to do a thing, but they may be agreeing under duress while feeling otherwise you will retaliate on them or they might think your plan is best strategically. The ❔ would allow for more nuanced communication.

( ◀️🔼🔽▶️ Directions arrows would also be a great addition to chat menu but that might make things over complicated or too cluttered.)

Remembering wich Skill Points we selected last

Right now, every time we open the game, the skill points shown are the 1v1 SP. If we want to see FFA, we need to click and then it switchs and stay there until we close the game. When we open it again, it forgot and show again 1v1.

It's cool for player who mostly play 1v1, but if we play mostly FFA (There was even a time where SMG wanted to delete 1v1 from the game, so I guess they care about us playing FFA), it start to be a little annoying to always need to switch. And if we open up the game often, we realise it even more.

So it's not the big update of the year, but an other little QOL update. Just remembering the selection of the account and then everytime we open the game, it's the last selection shown. And if we want to see again the other one, we click and it will stay there until we decide to switch it again. So 1v1 too could still have their SP right when opening the game and FFA players too.

There's a significant problem with player bots obtaining unfair rank points in Fixed cards gameplay, as we all know. On that note, I see a few minor changes making it possible to significantly improve the fairness of gameplay and enjoyability of gameplay. Currently, almost every FFA lobby uses bot settings on Automated. Since the player base tends to set lobby bot settings as automated, it would be wonderful to have a/some mixed Automated-Neutral setting(s) to improve the fairness of gameplay for the ACTIVE participants. The settings would function as an Automated bot for 10 minutes after which the player auto-resigns if he/she doesn't return, thus sacrificing any further rank placement the automated bot may or may not obtain. There could be up to three variants of the mixed versions. The first variant would be an automated bot for the duration of the 10 minutes, after which, the player bot flags and doesn't take any additional turns (no troops being added/no turns, no rank benefit from killing it prior to an active participant). The second variant would be an automated player bot for 10 minutes, after which, the player resigns and the player bot becomes an active, non-player automated bot for the duration of its survival. This benefits everyone as non-player bots do not affect rank, contrary to player bots. The third variant involves the player bot being an automated player bot for the duration of 10 minutes, after which, the player forfeits further rank and the player bot is then converted to a Neutral behaving bot. The neutral bot would exist and take turns adding troops, but would never attack for the duration of its survival. Also, this bot would not impact rank as it's functioning as a non-player bot. These are three variants to improve quality of life, and SMG can use any number of these to integrate as they see fit/have resources to complete. The primary objective of this post is help ensure we don't unfairly reward people for going inactive beyond SMG's standard 10 minute allowance compared to those who actively participate. Active players frequently switch targets and do not waste troops on killing the player bot before killing the remaining active player making the situation unfair for those involved. The remaining player need only remain alive for 10 minutes for better placement than the player who went innactive. This time delay not only allows for the other player to return from a disconnection as per standard SMG implementation, but also helps to account for situations where a remaining active player is signficantly weaker than the player who went innactive and the other remaining active player(s). Finally, to enable active players to adjust for a player going innactive on higher time setting games where the automated bot kicks in after a period of time, the turn that the player goes innactive, the player bot should not attack (merely add troops), this small element allows for active players to scramble to keep the bot out of their territory. I believe this final element is critical for fair game play on certain bonus regions that have multiple exposed entry points (e.g. Africa, Europe). This setting is to avoid situations such as the Europe player going inactive with multiple fronts breaking the Africa player before the Africa player has had a chance to shift troops to better control the bot's behavior. Anyway, these are number of small suggestions in one place that are related and I would like to see integrated as a whole. However, if someone reading would prefer to pick one suggestion out and post that for a more targeted vote, by all means, do it.

< MY SUGGESTION > The game troop movement slider (not the blitz slider) takes forever with large troop counts. Now SMG, you've remarked in the past that the UI is very important in that you want to keep things uncluttered and simple. Well, there's a way to accomplish this and speed up the troop scrolling process. In addition to the scroll bar, include a button icon that, when selected, switches the visible slider. The alternate slider would have just a few options: e.g. min, 10%, 20%, 30%, ..., max etc. After a player slides it over the option he/she desires, they click the button again to switch back to the standard slider. The display will automatically jump to the nearest round number that matches the % value selected on the proposed slider. From there, the player may fine tune the selection with the standard slider or confirm. The checkmark would only be present on the standard slider screen to ensure that players know how many troops they are moving. This simple addition would only add a single button to the screen, remove the checkmark confirmation icon while the proposed slider is engaged, and switch the display values within the already existing UI of the troop movement slider. Very little would be required with respect to graphical UI changes, and should be straightforward to use (players will quickly figure it out from messing around with it). The best part about this suggestion is that it could be easily implemented for both mobile and desktop players without taking up as only a single extra button would ever be displayed on screen compared to what is currently done. Alright, in addition to the proposed slider, for desktop users, players might appreciate having keyboard shorcut to engage/disengage the troop number input. I realize this may be slightly more complicated, but hear me out. So, the Shift key may be the ideal key to use as the engage/disengage key to enter specific troop counts via the keyboard. The character returned from the number keys should be the same within the bounds of a language/standard entry process. Thus, as long as the player holds Shift and hits the number keys, the characters returned could be mapped to a container indicating the number associated with a specific character. Upon an invalid entry, the Checkmark icon changes to a red "X" icon for a brief moment to indicate that an invalid entry was made. If the player makes an invalid entry, no changes to the troop movement slider occur. If a valid entry is made, the troop movement slider jumps to the position displaying that number of troops. The player releasing the shift key is the event listener for the number inputs to cease and for the entry to then be evaluated. Everything else would remain the same. The shift key may also be fairly ideal due to the right shift key's close proximity to the enter key. <BREAK: Providing HOW TO ideas for SMG with respect to the ChampionEver’s above suggestion of Ready Up in the Lobby> After the host engages the play game button, the players have the standard time to select ready while in the lobby, and then all see who confirms and fails to confirm. The host then has 5 seconds to kick anyone who didn't ready up; additionally, during these five seconds, anyone who didn't ready up could ready up as they may have been slow to do so. Also, for the host only, a cancel option on screen could be hit during this "5 second" time period. After the 5 second time period, assuming the host has not hit the cancel option (i.e. the game would be confirmed from the host's standpoint), the players have another 5 seconds to determine if they're happy with the current state of the lobby and can select "unready" or do nothing. At any point in this process, the host could cancel the game from proceeding. This method would help to avoid games that are ruined by players not readying up or the host changing player count/bot count last second and immediately starting. <Vote on my suggestion only not this additional commentary.>

Example: I was just in a game where I was single stacking in North America (Western United States). On turn 3, someone decides to suicide my stack, ending my game (and theirs). I was dead before my turn 4. Of course, as a GM or Master, I lose ~1000 rank points to that. I need to win multiple ranked games to make up that loss. It's demotivating.

Introduce some sort of a Creator Mode.

What I mean by that is the ability:

to make custom games such as having multiple game modes in one game, or for example make that each player would start with 100 troops, be able to select blizzard & portal places, basically create your dream game with whichever starting position and rules you want
create custom scenarios and have the ability to publicly share them (they could be firstly approved by the developers or have some sort of a rating system)
and in case it wouldn't hurt business maybe even the ability to create custom maps

It takes months for us to get new risk stuff added to the game, but if we, as the community, could create the stuff for ourselves and share it, then we would be basically getting new risk updates everyday, so I think it would be the greatest risk update ever.

Shop Update as a v5.0
Our Customisation section was added in March 2021 v3.0
Our New Shop was added in May 2021 v3.1
There's a lot of ways these could be improved!

A few QoL updates could be things like:

Add Emotes section to Customisation

Add sub-section to Shop "View All" to take you to Customisation

Add Sort By dropdown for "Owned, Not Owned, On Sale, Cost, Rarity) - owned/not owned can be selected with Sale/Cost/Rarity

Add Premium perk "auto-collect daily gems" to Settings, this would automatically check if Daily Gems is available when you open RISK, if so, grant Gems and pop up with toast notification +2 Daily Gems automatically collected!

Add "Map Packs" section to Customisation, this would use the same view as if you hadn't purchased, and lets players view maps without having to start a game. Ideally with bonus overlay!

Notification setting added for push notification when Daily Gems are available to claim

Add tooltips/info button to items to view:
Purchase Date
Purchase Cost
Description
Event [If applicable] - e.g Amazon Prime 2022, Pete Livestream etc.

Add a low resolution option for older devices "render shop items in 2D" - to improve compatibility

Event rewards/items can be viewed in customisation (but lock icon instead of price) - click tooltip to view "associated event" so players can see how it was obtained by other players

More needs to be done in relation to collusion. Everyone knows this. Firstly, there should be some kind point loss reversal if lost to cheaters as almost every other competitive game has. Secondly, the punishments for cheaters are pathetic and need to be significantly increased. Occasional suspensions after dozens of infractions is ridiculous. Genuinely not even sure if accounts can get permanently banned no matter how many cheated games they complete. This problem is not that complex, all it requires is some active involvment from SMG.

Currently, once you send an invite, 2 buttons pop up. Accept or reject. If you reject, the game goes back to default state where either player can send an invite. I propose the following. Default state stays the same. Everyone has a "Request Alliance" button. Once an invite is sent, there becomes red "Reject Alliance" button for the sender, and the green button greys out and changes to say "Invite Pending". The reciever now has the same buttons as before; "Accept Alliance" or "Reject Alliance". If the receiver accepts, bot players have the same "Break alliance" button that currently exists. If the reciever rejects the invite or breaks an alliance later, the buttons for both players change to "Request alliance" and "Block Alliances." This decouples the emotes and alliance blocking and stops spamming. This solution clears up ambiguity of the current buttons (emote and alliance blocking use the same button) and puts more agency in the hands of the players. This also removes the need for a timer because the sender of the alliance can revoke it at any time.

Currently, the game offers fixed and progressive cards, but I believe there is untapped potential for new and exciting card options.

For example, I have heard of a star system in some versions of Risk that uses a unique cash-in system. I am curious if there are other alternative card systems that have been implemented in other online or board versions of Risk, or if there are any innovative ideas that the community could suggest.

By introducing new card types, Risk could provide a more varied and engaging gameplay experience for both seasoned players and newcomers. It would add another layer of strategy to the game and keep it fresh and exciting for players of all skill levels.

Suggested by @ornate grail (User ID: 1029430894844444672)

The idea is to have basically an addition of time every time you attack. In my opinion the point of the turn timer is so that a player just can’t sit there and not do anything for excessive periods of time. But why if we are actively attacking is there a limit of how long we can do that? If we have the troops we should be able to keep attacking.
Mobile players are extremely limited in how effective they can be because they simply can’t attack fast enough. Even when playing on PC people with faster PCs and better equipment move faster and have an advantage. This doesn’t add anything to the game. I play risk for the strategy aspect not to get beat because people have better equipment than me.
If every time you “conquered” a territory you got say 1-1.5 seconds back on the turn timer then you would be able to continuously attack until you were either done attacking or out of troops. This would take out almost all of the mechanical advantage of whatever the device you were playing on. Obviously there would be ways SMG could tweak this to make this work as best as possible. You could have it so if there are more than 30 seconds left in the turn you don’t get any time back. You could make it so if you conquer a territory it pauses the turn timer for 2s. You could have shorter turn timers available, etc.
We have also seen this be done inside the game already with having a forced trade in after you kill somebody you get extra time. So we that it would be possible to put something similar in the game.

CAP Modification Significantly weaker (perhaps too weak) but still simple cap rules. Caps get 2 dice but odd numbers round up to the next even number. (i.e when defending a cap, a 1 becomes a 2, 3 becomes 4 and 5 becomes 6)
After crunching the numbers it would take a ratio of 1.38 attacking stack size to take a cap on average (138 troops into a 100 cap would be a very close battle much less than the 2-2.5 ratio currently)
[for those interested rounding up to the nearest multiple of 3 (half of dice are 3s and half are 6s) leads to a ratio of 2.37 which is similar to the current ratio]

Problem: classic fixed players are the majority but they have no incentive to grind for higher spots on the leaderboard. Solution: take the current automatch and change it. 1. 60 second turns. 2. Make a ladder just for this. - in the future it would be cool to see a lobby where you hit automatch the game starts in 120 seconds and there is no ready up button. You just ready up by joining the game. You may enter a lobby that almost full. So the game starts when the 120 seconds is over or there is six players. But for now just one and two I think would drastically change the game. Also in the future consider neutral bots or expert.

This would mean having one bundle that is themed to the game, to include something like:
8 Avatars, 5 Frames, 6 Dice, 5 Maps (map pack)

Depending on how popular their game is can dictate pricing for the contnet, so it could be 2,000 Gems for a lesser known game bundle, or 5,000 for a well known game bundle. Content only available through the bundle directly (not in customisation)

This would be how it impacts RISK, however we'd also be able to look at having RISK themed items / SMG themed items in their games too. Great way to support other developers while promoting RISK in a completely different way we haven't explored yet!

End of Game Summary -- Add Estimated SP Change

PROBLEM: When an FFA game ends, 4 of 6 players have no visibility into the expected SP change resulting from this game.

IDEA: Add "Estimated SP Change" to the game summary page, so the player can immediately get an idea of what effect will be had on their SP as a result of this game.

MORE INFO:

When the game ends, the player is presented with the end of game summary, where they can see their opponents and their ranks. Thus it seems all of the info needed to compute expected SP change is present: Current rank/sp, Other players ranks/sp, Game finish position (e.g. #3, #4, whatever).

When a player finishes 1st or 2nd, the game immediately ends, and thus the SP change is immediately available. But for the other 4 players in the game, they should be able to see their SP change immediately as well, even if it is only an estimation.

Please add estimated SP change to the game summary page.

Fixed games often tend to stalemate and progressive games are often decided by turn order. So i made a concept that counters both weaknesses and adds a new dynamic to the game.

The Fixed Progressive Hybrid.

Cards give the same bonuses as they do in fixed.
Add +3 troops for every trade you did.
Other's players trades do not increase your bonus.

So if you have a perfect trade you'll get 10 the first time. The next time you'll get 13 then 16 etc.
The purpose of only increasing your trades by yourself are two main reasons.

No weird card skipping stuff going on.
Killing players is actually valuable since you get cards and your permanent bonus will be slightly higher as the other player's bonus.

update the fair play rules to actually allow for ranked play by content creators.

Under current rules most ranked play by content creators is in violation due to one of two factors: there is an external means of communication or they are known by players in their games. This is an obvious flaw in the rules as RISK content is one of the primary factors drawing new players to the game.

Would need to either exclude Blacklists from Casual games, so you can still play friends casually, but block them from Ranked games.
Or could just make it so friends on your Blacklist can still join Casual Private games with the Game ID.

Further improve anonymity for ranked games. Mask the players with generic names like Player1-6 in lobby. Give a generic avatar and colour in lobby, only using the selected avatar and colour in game. This would reduce player targeting, host targeting, novice farming, GM targeting, GM avoidance, 'collusion' due to discord. The name and rank can be revealed at the end of game.

As a quick fix: Adding additional information to the “add risk friends” screen that currently just shows cards with your opponents their in game color and current rank would be a quick short cut to getting useful information into a form that players can save and remember.
I suggest at minimum adding the finishing position for each player from the game that just ended.

This way players can at least screen shot that screen and save useful information from particularly good or particularly bad games (or all their games if they are so inclined).

Ultimately I’d like to see an in game method of collecting a list of all your previous opponents with the ability to note some facts about their game play, but maybe that’s a big ask.

Being able to collect simplified stat sheets with the look of trading cards for players whose progress you follow would also be cool.

=> Rethink seriously the warboats' strengths and abilities. Explanation : On the ground, battle plans require skills and great plans to win strategic battles and have a strong K/D ratio. However, on the sea, the strategy seems pretty less skilled. The one that is winning on the sea is the one that has the most "Battleship SS" boats. It is incredibly visible in the K/D ratio. On the ground, to have a great K/D ratio, as I already said, requires a lot of skills; however, on the sea, someone with a lot of ships can easily target crazy K/D without planning mind-blowing strategies. Moreover, while it sounds normal that expensive ships have a great impact on the sea, their power on the land looks disproportionate when they fight against ground units. Especially when talking about "Battleship SS" boats: they move pretty quickly, they have an amazing range, they 1shot ground figures, and this being said, I feel their impact on the ground sounds too big while, once again, requiring very low skill caps.

Is there a reason why emotes- which are presumably among the most impactful cosmetics in the game- are exclusively locked behind random lottery-style draws? The ability to communicate in the game is already quite limited, and emotes help to bridge those gaps in a litany of ways- not to mention it being well and good fun. Out of all of the purchasable goods in the shop- especially the questionably valuable options such as "Frame" and "Troop"- it seems rather jarring that there's no ability to buy the one type of cosmetic in the game that would actually be useful with gameplay implications. Hell- there seems to be no way to browse what emotes even exist in the game, or an ability to organize them in the order I'd like the ones I have to be in. I feel like adding an emote section to the shop would be a swell quality of life addition while also bringing in value as a revenue source. It ought not to be considered pay-to-win anyways (if that is the concern here), as the randomly rotated emotes we do currently see daily are already locked behind a paywall, anyways.

Hello,
I have recently started playing this game and am totally loving it. Although I have some feedback on the game settings. (Kindly let me know if I have to post it somewhere else.)

Normally I play with 120s timer on my smartphone and in the initial stage of the game it is more than sufficient. But problem arises, when it's a large map like World 2209 AD and I'm among the last 2 survivors. Basically it's 1-1 and most of the time I can't finish my 'intended' moves properly due to shortage of time.

So I was wondering if the timer settings can be modified to as following. If the game starts with 6 players, then initially everyone will get 120s. When it becomes 5 person game, then everyone will get (120x6)/5 = 144s. When the next player is out of the game, the timer for each player becomes (120x6)/4 = 180s and so on.

From my point of view, it's reasonable to get more time when I have to deal with more number of areas in the later part of the game and I believe that my endgame will improve significantly. Also I can try taking part in 60/90s timer games.

Thanks in advance!

Tutorials for how to use the RISK menus

Currently there are a lot of caveats that new players stumble on (difference between Filters & Game Modifiers), alongside some that even experienced players may be unfamiliar with (clicking settings in game lobby shows more settings)
This also applies to there being uncertainty on where to find resources (community or official)

A great way to address this would be to introduce free to play tutorials that grant gems or (bypassing cap) battle points for completing the first time.
This would include a walkthrough of app settings, what each thing does (like Anonymous!), what colourblind mode does etc. Playing with friends, securing your account and so on.

Although tutorials that impact all areas of the app may mean they'll be outdated more quickly, if they're only 30-60 seconds long it should be easy enough to tag what areas each tutorial takes you through so any new updates can include checks for which will be impacted & needs to be rewritten

SMG should consider making a correction to how bot action works in relation to disconnects and no action time outs (letting your turn timer run).

If you disconnect or forget to take your turn you should be able to reconnect during any of your opponents turns but if you disconnected last turn and you have not reconnected before your turn starts then the bot should act instantly with no delay (you lose your turn), and you get another chance to join during the next turn round and so on until the timer on the bot becoming permanent runs out.

For some reason the bot waits for like a third of the turn timer before acting. That just encourages bot out and half bot timer stall strats.

At the moment there's varying rarity of items (troops, dice etc.) from Battle Points rewards - however these can be illogically placed.
Rocket ship is a rare item (fairly early on)
Pyramid is a common item (quite a bit later in levels)

Rather than having a rarity, it may be more clear to replace this with BP exclusive or BattlePoints Troop - as it is does not have any public pricing and is unobtainable outside of battle points progression.

In the lobby while players are joining, if the host makes changes to the players (kicks someone, adds bots), set a 5-10 second cooldown before they can start the game. It’s very annoying when someone spam adds 2 bots to a 4 player game and launches before you can leave. Similarly, once the lobby is full, there should be a 5-10 second cooldown before you can launch to allow people to leave if they want. In conjunction with this, then punish players for not accepting a game (lose X amount of rank points). Nothing is more annoying than trying to play a 6 person game and one or two people don’t accept. Totally different game then with bots. Punishment for not accepting would discourage this.

Balanced blitz has an inherent flaw where players tend to lose more troops than is realistic or would make sense and the blitz slider could be the solution. If the default for the slider is 100% to win the roll instead of 100% of stack, this simple elegant solution will improve the quality of gameplay for players. This will also likely help mitigate ongoing complaints about the fairness of the dice algorithm. My suggestion is that the slider should automatically reset to exactly 100% where possible for every roll.

If the game is to expand with interest in serious competitive play then SMG needs to fix several small issues that are frustrating for players and embarrassing for SMG.

They include:

Territory images on cards not matching the actual territory shapes.

Blitz slider should default to minimum attacking troops for 100% successful roll.

Scroll wheel interface for selecting number of troops for splits and fortifies needs to be a near instant select a number system.

Ability to make edge of screen icons way smaller and/or ability to zoom way out on ALL maps need to be easily user controllable preferences. Currently their are maps where icons block visibility making it nearly impossible to see or play the map.

Consider adding toll portals as a new portal mode in future.

Portal locations would be assigned randomly (and locations could be set to stable or unstable) as now, but all portals would show red and be locked at all times unless a player payed the toll to use a portal (a troop count loss in addition to any attack being made) that payment would get successively larger with each player who used it kind of like progressive cards but a troop penalty instead of a plus.

Only the portals that the player used would be unlocked, and would remain green and usable by other players for free for 1 turn round while the other unused portals would remain red unless unlocked by another player. At the start of that players next turn the portals they unlocked would be locked again.

You quit one game, 30 minute ban, 2 games, 1 hour ban, all the way up to 1 month+. It's insane that there is literally no punishment for it when players can amass a huge army and just go AFK in a strategically important location. Second: Neutral bots should time-out just like missing players. After a certain amount of time they should stop spawning troops. Third: After a player has left the game, their troops should decay with each turn. The government has collapsed, supply lines broken, and the armies aren't getting fed...

The ability to turn off bonuses. Turning off bonuses could be interesting, especially for progressive games, to force people into spreading out stacks around the board and removing the incentive to take bonuses. This could also be part of a bigger 'sandbox' mode/update, where we get the freedom to change more game settings (location of blizzards/portals, where everyone spawns, progression/amount of troops per card, maximum troops allowed on capital or other crazy stuff like that...)

Consider adding a variation of Fog Capitals mode with the option to secretly not add some or all of your troops. This would allow for more challenging kill plays as a player down to a few or only one territory could fake the possibility that they have more territories by not placing all three troops where you can see them.

(One version would make the player discard any unplaced troops, another would allow them to hold the troops over in reserve till a later turn. The second option would make for very interesting play not just in almost dead scenarios but in others as well. You could take a trade so you it would look like you had added a bunch of troops to a hidden cap or stack, but you could actually have placed some or all of those troops in your reserve only to drop them all down on a later turn.)

What if fortifying troops took time? Let me explain: the further your troops have to fortify, the longer the fortify phase will take Meaning like on europe advanced for example, a fortify from russia to iceland would take like a hefty 15 seconds or something but fortifying to a neighbouring territory would take only a second this could bring a bit more realism as it can take a while to move so many troops and Possibly the bigger a stack is the slower it will fortify. This could be an option such as "realistic fortify" or a better name for it. If a players turn runs out before their troops can fortify to their intended location, then they will be place on the territory that the time ran out on. i will put this in risk ideas As in real war, moving more troops means more food to carry, supplies, ammo Realistic fortify can make maps feel bigger And trying to kill someone across the map more riskier and a player could intercept you as you try to make your way across a huge map

This will serve two functions I believe need to be changed for the flow of any risk game: add a mini log to the main screen. This could be shown on the top left. (or anywhere that is the least intrusive to the UI) this will show the most recent regular log updates. The following subjects are my personal input on what should be included in the regular log: I suggest adding public emotes and communications to the log. That way an unattentive eye won't miss important messages from allies or others. I also suggest that the main large screen announcing players troop additions at the beginning of the turn be limited to the log/mini log with maybe a much smaller notification. My main problem with the loud "player X starts with Y troops" is that it actually cuts any communication any other player might be trying to convey at the time of the announcement.

Implement a feature that allows you to scroll half way through your troops to either place or fortify. It would make an end game caps game much faster and easier while still keeping the same skill levels. This feature is unlikely to do much most of the time, but when placing 800 troops from a late game progressive set - or moving 4000 units between capitals - not only is splitting off large numbers of troops difficult, sometimes it is actually impossible to get anywhere near the halfway point. This results in players in the late game taking 45 seconds of their turns to not even do what the wanted to do. The current system of scrolling for your whole turn makes it so that only PC players with a specific mouse feature (certain scroll wheels) can accurately and quickly move the number of troops that they want to move. This idea might not remove that advantage, but it would at least help those of us who don't have specific mice or play on mobile to at least move a wider variety of troops counts in a turn - instead of a couple of hundred either side of the minimum or maximum.

I suggest a new dice roll mode: Controlled Scale.

In Controlled Scale, every attack will work off of a scale centered on the defending territory's troop count. Since this is hard to explain but easy to see, here's an example:

20 troops attack 10 troops. In this case scenario, the attacking troops have a 100% chance of victory and will lose at most 14 troops, while losing at minimum 6 troops. This is because of the scale. Troop loses operate entirely on a 9 possibility scale:

-4 -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4

With x being the defending troop count, when attacking a territory you can lose at most x + 4, and will lose at least x - 4, with the battle able to have any troop loss result in between.

In Capital mode, capitals would retain their advantage by having a scale from x -4 to x +8, therefore having a higher chance for capitals to kill attacking troops.

In summary: Controlled Scale would contain some of the random factor from True Random, while being more strategic and less luck dependent. The troop losses would also be more predictable, and easier to strategize around.

I hope I was able to explain my idea well. heart

trial run of an alternate ranking system

🟠 Points available based on # of players (e.g for 6 players)
🔸+3 for 1st
🔸 +2 for 2nd
🔸 +1 for 3rd
🔸 -1 for 4th
🔸 -2 for 5th
🔸 -3 for 6th
This removes the benefit of targeting specific players based on rank (and limits the heavy losses or extreme gains that can occur just now
For other player numbers - middle is 0, if even number of players, middle is between them (so +1/-1 on either side)

🟠 With bounties
🔸+1 per elimination
🔸 -1 for defeat
🔸 -1 for abandoning game when >2 players left
This encourages active participation & an emphasis on eliminations

🟠 & Skill-based auto matchmaking
🔸 Can only play with players within X points range
🔸 Say 50 radius normally
🔸 Expand by 50 per 30 seconds of wait time
This accounts for very high / very low skill points, so wait time shouldn't be >2 minutes for anyone
This also removes the rank factor (and massive loss/gain potentials at extremes of Elo

🟠 With changes to thresholds
🔸 Grandmaster is top 5%
🔸 Master is top 15%
🔸 Expert is top 30%
🔸 Intermediate is top 50%
🔸 Beginner is top 75%
🔸 Novice is top 100%
This ensures a dynamic rank range for players - based on everyone else's points

🟠 Final notes
🔸 Very different system, the dynamic rank ranges, removal of extreme point changes & focus on eliminations alongside final placement could both simplify the rank system while addressing the main pain points of our current system.

Revamping the battle points tier system.

Right now, after you get past level 11 then you only get rewards for every 5 levels, which seems unintuative.
To even get to a higher level you also need an exponentially higher number of xp per new level, which gets unthinkably large when you reach higher levels.

You do not even get that much pleasure from reaching a new level since you really do not get rewarded nearly enough for how long it took you to get there.
I haven’y played for that long, only having ~80 hours in the game and being only level 15 to show for that. The last time i recieved a reward for leveling up was the 23rd of february, nearly five months ago! And that is only 5 levels!!

Assuming you max out your battle points (1250) every single day it would still take you just over 856 days to get to level 100 or a little over 2 years of playing straight.

I suggest giving reward for every single levelup you get to increase the players acomplishments. This does not mean that SMG should make unique cosmetics of every single level, rather fill the remaning levels with gems (5-20) per level or gold coins (alternatively gems for those who have premium).
I would also suggest that the points needed to get to a higher level is drastically decreased. This will lead to players reaching level 100, so I suggest that levels should be infinite, with rewards in gems coming only at intervals of 10, or 25 the higher level you reach.

Levels should represent one’s skill level and the players should be proud of their levels and be willing to show it off, righ now however, I feel like I have made no progress after playing for 80 hours, and therefore really wants this system to change.

When a player toggles Auto Advance on all troops from attacked territory advance automatically.

After advancing the taken territory is selected by default.

Both toggles would default to off at the beginning of players turn.

This would increase the speed on both pc and touch, allowing players to select their territory and then having to only select attacked territories after with no confirmations.

Once you reach certain stage (i.e top 20 of the world in one mode), go to a status in which you can only earn points is playing against other top-20 players. If you lose some in a row, you can get demoted and somebody from the second tier get promoted.

Also there should be a way to punish or force the #1 and below to play games to avoid stalling your position (i.e. not playing anymore) to don't fall. Let's say, play at least one game a week to preserve it. But even then, if you are first and beat the 20nd, and the 2nd beats the 3rd, you could lose your #1 spot because the 2nd took more risk than you, while you took the safe bet of playing the worst player available to don't get penalized. This would foster fair game and prevent GMs from farming or avoiding high ranked players to keep the status quo.

Using a promotion and relegation system like in the european leagues. I.e. each month the top 3 of the low tier get promoted, and the other way around. That would stir things up and keep them intersting until the end of the season, and not like now, where the top players reach a certain status, stop playing and just wait for others to fall if they are above them, or not reach them if below, that doesn't favor sportmanship.

For big maps, with over 50 territories(this could be changed), you have the option to give each player an additional 10,15 or 20 troops in the beginning.(all players would get it). For auto the troops would be spread across territories randomly (in addition to the troops already spread), and for manual, you would just get extra troops to put down. On big maps , like Canada advanced for example, if you're playing with 4,5,6 people, most territories will only have 1-2, maybe 3 troops. This leads to players not having to reorganize and strategize their troops as much, and people usually just end up capturing continents with little to no fortifications, and since most territories have little troops, no one wants to immediately break people's continents because it will waste their turn. Then this process repeats, and it launches the players into an endgame before anyones prepared. This doesn't always happen, but I think this feature could make big maps more fun to play.

Restructure leaderboards to include the following (This could be in game OR at hasbrorisk.com):

Overall
1v1
World Domination
Speed Blitz
70%
Capitals
Zombies

The current leaderboard and structure is very skewed. It naturally creates an environment where new players are trapped in disadvantageous game types in order for experienced players to rank up. I do not believe this helps to advance the popularity of the game as newer players could become frustrated getting ground for FFA points and losing interest in the game.

Separating leaderboards would free some of the risk population to focus on the game types they prefer, rather than play the types they are more likely to win, if they are only focused on ranking up.

Risk is collecting a ton of data on games, it would be interesting to see some of this displayed somewhere and add transparency to the best players of each game type.

Once you've fixed your rank calculation, why not add more? We should have separate boards for overall rank but also rank on a map, rank on a game mode, rank on a card type, fog status, alliance status, portal status, blizzard status, and partial combinations of the above. (If you did all combos of two, e.g. map x cards or fog x alliances) then you would only need 91 more calculations per game and if you did all combos of 3 you'd need 301 more calculations... 1 + 7x6/2 + 7x6x5/3 + 7x6x5x4/4 = 1 + 21 + 70 + 210) [ 7:53 PM ] Eura Law : guess that bot doesn't work

This will open new doors, new opportunities, new points of view !!

Which “calculate ranks for every sitting/maps BUT NOT in combinations. JUST every Single sitting & maps by itself (in the beginning we can start with few, the most popular for example”
BESIDES keeping the AVERAGE Rankings

Why thats GREAT for all off us?

Most of GMs talked publicly that they play mostly just 1 or 2 types of sittings & maps.

Even every known Risk Content Creators specialize mostly in 1 or 2 types of sittings & maps

IMAGINE THIS !
When we have rankings list for each single sittings & maps
Will discover that most of Top GMs are NOT the Top in most ranking lists !!
That will open many new doors of opportunities & competitions & races to Thousand of players Not just the hard ride to average top 200.
It gives them Hope & a practical clear way to rise in a new category witch not crowded

That will push players to PLAY MORE !!
TRY MORE Settings & MORE Maps !!
I think its a WIN/WIN Idea 💡👌🏼

Please consider to test it in some popular settings/maps
& some unpopular settings/maps

Maybe that’s help to see the potential clearly.

As suggested before a camouflage mode where players names and any other personalizing info is hidden in lobby and game would be a major improvement for fair play in ranked games that could allow for unlimited repeat play against the same people (you just would never know who you were playing till after it was over).

Anyway that last part is where my new suggestion applies. I suggest that there should be more of a finish screen to games. Announcing who each player was and what there finish position and stats are. This could even be a place for SMG’s animations department to make some cool graphics that all the players could actually see and appreciate.

Something along the lines of:

(Exciting Fireworks Animations)“You, blue player, just finished second behind red player who is a Grand Master, screen name of GMmcfly who has over 10,000 hours in the game and the highest rank ever achieved. Is second really the best you could do?” (Animated Sad Face) “Your rank has gone up 600 points” (Animated graph depicting your last week of game performance) “But we think you can do better.” (Animated General Thumbs Up) “Try again.”

Is it possible to have leaving/botting out negatively effect a player's rank? Meaning, a bot out is tracked in the background, and if the player never returns, it gives them the placement as if they surrendered instead of where the bot manages to secure a finish. Most people know that it's easier to beat bots so they target the other human player instead of the bot(s) left in the game, and the botted player ends up getting the higher placement and thus points are effected. I don't think leaving when you're going to lose and getting points because of it makes much sense.

{mobile speed}{i suggest removing the speed handicap for mobile players vs pc players by adding a speed blitz button during attacking. This would work separately from the current attack model and pressing the button will attack with the full stack and any remaining troops are automatically moved (no splitting option during speed blitz) this removed 1 input step for mobile players which i imagine would bring their speed up to or nearly up to what pc users can create. I imagine the speed blitz button could be located in the top left of the ui above the card check etc buttons and approximately the same size.

Accessibility

Remove the big black box at the start of the turn that covers most of the screen to display troops gained. To still obtain the knowledge of troops gained by a player there could be a simple +number at the avatar of the player. This could be a third row or a pop out field like the card held are. This number would work in 2 different ways. 1. For no fog games it would display the number of troops that the player would gain if their turn would start right now. 2. For fog games it would display the amount of troops that the player gained last (ignoring cards). This would also ignore vision, so even if a player has an alliance or sees every territory on the map it would only update at the start of said players turn. I think this would increase accessibility, because you don't need to read a number in a split second and your screen doesn't get covered up which also takes aways map knowledge, if someone plays fast.

Dice Functionality

Remove estimation technique for high troop battles

Rather than keeping in line with fast calculations for large battles (which introduces inconsistent results / unrealistic outcomes), instead just brute force like any other dice roll - if it will take >1s (even 5-10s with 10k / 100k troops etc) then let it take that long with a 'calculating...' message displayed.

If the attack would exceed turn timer, delay turn timer until it is complete (and force move all troops to that location)

This would make the 0.0001% of battles that are massive troops vs. massive troops be more consistent (with more realistic outcomes) at the minor expense of taking longer to process.
As it will not impact 99%+ of dice rolls, it doesn't matter if it takes a bit longer.

New Gameplay

Explore dice with more sides in a game mode or campaign as a new way to play RISK

A few examples:

Progressive Dice as an alternative to Progressive Cards
game starts with d6 / six sided dice as standard
every 10 turns, double the # of sides (d12, d24, d48)
this would increase the luck factor
ai can be set to not have progressive dice (e.g. d12 vs d6 you'll have a much higher success rate)
Progression system as part of a campaign
as you level up in the campaign, you gain access to more powerful dice - which enables fighting tougher opponents (also with more powerful dice)
as multiple upgrades etc. could be done alongside this, earlier levels can be replayed to level up if you are struggling against the next level
Game Modifiers (like Capitals)
random territories are selected as modified, this can be positive or negative.
modifier with a penalty, -1 side [d5] for attacking while having a +1 side [d7] for defending (a bonus with a penalty)
environment-based boosted territories (+1 side [d7]) if you are attacking from a forest region with a commander that has a bonus for forest region.
randomly boosted territories (like unstable portals), a random +2 bonus, +1 bonus, -1 bonus & -2 bonus every full turn (can be indicated beforehand that they'll be modified, optionally with the modifier or without it, so it can be a risk to hold it that may pay off)

This suggestion should be pretty basic and not take too much development above the existing system, but essentially my idea was adding some kind of "blacklist" filtering system. Essentially, considering there are 5 gamemodes currently available in the game, I thought a good idea might be to have the ability to filter by more than one gamemode in FFA. I only ever play World Dom and Cap Conquest, so I would love if I could filter those two without having to see Zombies, 70% Dom and Speed Blitz games (and potentially new gamemodes if those are introduced in the future and I don't play them in FFA either). Currently, we're only able to filter one gamemode at a time, and considering most lobbies fill really fast, its hard to join a game with settings you like in time.

RECOMMENDATION. Establish four leaderboards. Classic FFA, Classic 1V1, Specialized FFA, Specialized 1V1. Classic leaderboards would use the free map with no premium modifiers. Specialized leaderboards would be for any game played using a premium map and/or modifier(s). BACKGROUND. The current leaderboards compare apples and oranges. The majority of players at the top of the leaderboards play highly specialized settings that most of their opponents are unfamiliar with. The majority of games played use the classic map without premium modifiers. The current leaderboards make it extremely unlikely that a player will advance far without purchasing premium content. The large number of options makes it unfeasible for have leaderboards for every setting variation. Separating the leaderboard between classic and specialized provides an option to advance on a leaderboard where opponents are playing similar settings. It also better enables players to be competitive without having to purchase premium content (pay to win).

Both 1v1 and FFA are broken and here are some potential solutions for each

1v1
Geoguessr has semi-recently changed their ranking system for duels so players can only play within their division. This has incentivized some of their top players to come back and play ranked. Risk should do the same to help create the best possible system for a competitive environment and to incentivize players to play ranked again. Two options are possible either two similar divisions could play each other such as masters and grandmasters could only play each other or if there are enough players grandmasters and grandmasters could be automatched together. Another addition would be to add rewards at the end of seasons for further incentivize players to compete and be interested in ranked again.

FFA

For FFA it’s important to create the most competitive environment for players and a solution for this would be to pair players based on similar divisions. Various options include, novice-intermediate, expert-grandmaster or novice-beginner, intermediate-expert, or master-grandmaster, etc. Another issue both ranking systems is the lack of incentive in them. A solution to this would be to change seasons to reset every six months and add in new eight week seasons (or whatever name for an 8 week period) where players could climb and achieve goals in another leaderboard with rewards for the top performances. Examples could include, win a caps game, or a somewhat more difficult achievement such as win an FFA game in 15 minutes. Also it would be nice if both 1v1 and FFA could get automatch with filters for settings (doesn’t have to be specific) and this could be added for the smaller season achievements as well. Ultimately these are just some food for thought ideas which risk could really use to fix it’s ranking system.

Dice & Troop Ideas

When playing certain game modes (Caps is known for it, but it can happen in several types of games), stalemates can happen after about Round 12 or so (particularly among high level players). Usually due to card values and or taking bonuses not being enough to make taking a bounty worthwhile under certain conditions - this can result in games going 6-12 hours or longer with the only ending coming from suicides, disconnects, bribes, etc.. This is a real problem, and huge source of frustration for some - A proposed solution: Every 20 Rounds have a Bonus Troop Multiplier from Sets - Maybe Call it a "Mega Draft" Option you can toggle on or off in settings next to the Progressive Cards Setting when setting up the game: Round 20 the Multiplier could be 2X the sets normal value, Round 40 it could be 4X, Round 60 = 6X etc... up to 10X Sets Value by Round 100, if you set in one of those special rounds the multiplier of that set could give a statistically significant number of troops to help break a stalemate (particularly if some are able to set that round and some aren't). Could save players from the mind numbing horror of deep stalemates. It's also not completely unrealistic in the theoretical as wider and wider drafts of soldiers is something nation states do to give an advantage to end a war. Example it's Round 40 and your set would normally be around 400 or so... well with the multiplier if you set in Round 40 you would get 1600 troops instead of 400! Also if you can take a bounty and set in turn in that round you would get another Multiplier and get 1620 More troops or so. The above multipliers would likely roughly work, but could be refined through testing.

Either add a setting to display troops gained per turn the old, more intuitive, and streamlined way of being in the middle of the screen to grab your attention wherever on the map you’re looking, or just revert the changes entirely. Nobody asked for this and being on the left side of the screen makes no sense. If you wanted to show the troop figurines so bad, why aren’t they just a pop up in the middle below the original centered troop count location? I shouldn’t have an advantage or disadvantage in fog for being on the right side of the map where if you direct your attention there, you risk missing crucial troop count information that’s shown for half a second, and then doesn’t appear in the battle log. (which also doesn’t make any sense, either show the information clearly in the battle log for everyone to know or not at all) heck, you could do both variations and split it into two different fog settings by adding “dense” fog where you don’t know how many troops opponents get per turn at all. However, I digress, the way it is presented right now is BAD for gameplay (not to mention content creators who already use that corner for face cams), please fix it somehow.

Problem
As described by SMG themselves: *“To prevent duplicate accounts and to remove the demoralising feeling of dropping down the leaderboard, we made it so no one could drop below their initial ranking points. (Beginners found it was easier to create a new account than to win your way back up.) While appearing a benefit those with lower ranking points, mathematically this actually benefits those with higher ranking points as the points lost (if they lose) is smaller, and points won (if they win) larger than if the beginner was on their actual ranking points.” *

However, making a new account doesn’t make you a better player of course, so it’s hardly helpful in going up. And the points of all the overrated novices mainly go to high(er) rated players at the moment, making them also overrated.

Solution
Introduce a period of 10 placement games, where your rank isn’t displayed yet. This works by adding 30k rank points (or whatever is appropriate) to everyone their current rating and setting the initial rating for new accounts at that level. Because your rating is only visible after the 10 games, this solves the issue of feeling demotivated by starting at a lower level than a new account and it gets most new players to a more appropriate starting point. I would assume that since it’s not clearly visible and you don’t see an immediate effect when making a brand new account. Players will be less inclined to go through the effort of the placement games again and thus won’t make a new account.

(No ) I can’t bring myself to support the needs of others. I will push any advantage including my influence on the rules of the game to keep things tilted in my favor. I must dominate my opponent even if my win is based solely on the speed of my internet connection and my free spinning scroll wheel.

New Gameplay

I think that there should be no ranks shown on any of the games whether it's qualifier or a round game because it's too easy for the more experienced players to zero in on newer players and take them out because of their rank gives them a target on their back. if everybody has the same rank they wouldn't know necessarily and may caution them from basically chasing someone down to get rid of them or teaming up two or three grandmasters against a couple of novice. It doesn't make it very enjoyable for the new people playing in tournaments and can make the turnouts less if they don't feel they're having a chance with no rank you may think twice because you don't know what kind of player you're up against.

New Gameplay

New Game mode or setting

Not sure on what to call it. Basic outline:

Turn 1 everyone will receive troops based on their position at the start of the game
territories taken will not impact other players troop gain this round
The position you fortify in each round (# of territories, continents, capitals) dictates how many troops you get next round
it doesn't matter if you 'can't hold Asia' - holding it at the end of your turn will grant you the bonus

This has a three fold impact:

stacking alone will no longer be feasible
to ensure players can't take a continent in their turn, guarding borders heavily is crucial
players are rewarded for aggressive moves (e.g. taking over Asia and Europe while others were defending their own continents only)

This means players have more direct control over their troop gain, you can see during your turn that taking a few extra territories can give you an edge, it is also still risky to stretch too far out as eliminations are now the only way to prevent someone gaining their troops before their next turn.

Transition game modes into Modifiers under Victory Conditions

As RISK gets more features, new modes etc. one of the main downsides with game modes is that they are not able to be combined with other game modes.

As an alternative (as victory conditions) you could have:

World Domination (Always on)
Capital Conquest (add capitals & can win by taking all)
70% Domination (capture 70% of the map)
Speed Blitz (Turn limit of 5)

Zombie Apocalypse gamemode can be transitioned into an AI type (you can enable Zombies or disable them, in game setup)

This also means you can have all 5 'game types' together in the same game! Can have zombies in capital games, 70% or capture capitals together - allowing more ways to win games.

UnbalancedBlitz (604651960615960577)

Dice Functionality

Add “fast” true random dice roll options for balanced blitz.

WHAT
How this works is you slider the number of times you want to manually roll the dice and the outcome will be how many troops you and the enemy lost (like a 0% blitz slider roll). The maximum number of rolls that can be committed at once is:
The number of troops that the enemy’s territory has divided by 2 for normal territories, and divided by 3 for capitals OR
The number of troops that your territory has divided by 3, whichever is lower. The number is rounded up. ||this has to do with the number of dice rolled, if its wrong pls correct me||
For example, a 26 v 20 non-capital will have a maximum of 10 manual rolls available, while a 26 v 20 capital will have a maximum of 7.

WHY
This is to prevent people’s turn timers from entirely being consumed by slow rolling, and to allow possibly better odds when 0% blitzing.

Colourblind mode consequences. So... i use the tritanopia setting since its the one that shows me things in the clearer way. Its all good on that part, the problem is when using alliance settings and an ally says, attack X (color). The problem is that the color mentioned there is the original (without the colourblind settings) which is confusing as hell. For example in my last game someone told me to attack Pink, well, theres no pink in my screen, and apparently it was purple.

Not a major change but what do you guys think of having the ability to change how many blizzards are on when setting up a game. I'm thinking you can choose between 2 and 6 blizzards but have some rules like there can't be more than 3 blizzards in one continent or something or just some slight adjustments to avoid having small maps completely choked up. This isn't a revolutionary idea but could be fun to play around with on all the maps where some might benefit from having 2/3 blizzards and sometimes you want the game to have choke points and you opt into having all 6. I doubt the games with 6 blizzards will be high skill cap on most maps but could be a fun change that'll add some variety to the game

More inclusive voting
Currently ideas are received through a lot of sources, risk-ideas channel in Discord is just one of these sources.
This makes it difficult to gauge interest and disinterest in ideas.

As an alternative, a selection of ideas received in the previous month could be highlighted for feedback in-game.
There are a few benefits to in-app voting for developers such as:

Vote tallies can be split by Premium/Not-Premium (e.g. help identify what ideas may help convert players to Premium), high-activity Vs casual, rank class, new vs long-term etc. even things like 'how frequently someone votes' could be insightful.

For players this has a greater benefit:

can vote on ideas being considered by developers directly in-app
this is more inclusive for less social-involved players
it also shows players regularly what types of ideas are being taken into consideration
much more diverse voting & more reliable results in turn

For ideas being sent there's a few things to consider:

if ideas are targeted for new players only, can be sent to new players only
if ideas relate to ranked, this could be sent to players that have participated in ranked this season
splitting who ideas are sent to wouldn't be a necessity, just an option for developers if more targeted feedback is preferable.
votes can have a text requirement/option (like reporting a player, maybe a little bigger text box!), along with a big tick or cross for whether or not a player likes the idea.

Help people to uphold the fair play rules in public lobbies. Step 1. Don't allow friends to see lobbies that friends are part of in ranked and casual public. This applies to the risk friend list and other social media accounts as far as SMG has access. Step 2. Put the "No Friends allowed" warning on the casual public selection screen. Step 3.

We had a poll a few weeks back that overwhelmingly expressed that people would like to see an improvement to the ranking system. This is a follow-up to that. Would you like to see a modification to the current ELO based system (select yes) or would you prefer that SMG created a Winner Take All (WTA) approach where only the winner of a FFA game would receive points for a victory and each player defeated would lose an equal amount of points? (select no).

Widget for RISK Profiles

It'd be great to have a preset widget for RISK Accounts - these could be set up by user as either:

Disabled (default)
Restricted (recommended in use) - generate a unique key to generate the widget - can be changed once every 24h
Public (not recommended) - let anyone use a public widget to display your RISK profile on their website
(No private key, URL would just include friend ID)

This would mean players could list a link / widget on a website or profile, so players can see an up to date summary of their account (Rank, Games Played, Rank Class)

Online Mode can have more options available (such as public test run of new game modes)

Space for up to 2 additional options (e.g. edit customisation)

Territory Card improvements

a) Unique card per territory
some cards have duplicates of territories
some territories do not have a card
b) FAQ for Cards
whether cards are roughly 1 in 3 or if some are more common than others (this should be standardised across all maps)
can also include common concerns like how cards are 'shuffled' / returned to deck etc
c) Cards in Blizzards
Any territory card in blizzard or in fog of war have the same plain background, as blizzard cards will never give a +2, it'd be good to have a snowy icon on the territory card so you know to disregard it
d) Match territory icon to territory card
some territory card icons do not match the territory shape
e) Display card deck next to maps
to better understand the cards and odds it'd be good to be able to view these altogether (and outside of gameplay) - this could include a % for each card type - and what % the wildcards would equate to

Create a toggle option to disable zoom in and move to position on double click. The game sometimes reacts slower than I click and just zooms in, which wastes time that I could use to take actions on the board.

the ‘move troops’ and ‘fortify’ UI function should have a 25% 50% and 75% quick buttons above the current number slider. If u have 300 troops to move and u pressed 50% then the current slider goes to 150 (or the closest # to 50% of the troops u can move). Your ‘move’ or ‘fortify’ isn’t locked in until you press the green check mark ✅ so u could dial in the exact troop count you are looking for.

This solution removes any perceived competitive advantage on how quickly some people can ‘move’ or ‘fortify’ troops. The end result is more time of your turn is dedicated to strategy and less time on mechanics like how quick u are with a mouse, mouse wheel or touchscreen.

Pre-game practice
If ranked games leaned more towards automatch in future, it'd be great to add a button to play a local practice game while waiting for others to join.
This could also be great for private games while waiting for friends to start up their computer or still searching for more players.
Where it could be accessed

after queueing for a ranked game
in casual public lobbies
in casual private lobbies
How it would look
After joining a queue for a ranked game, you are put into a game based on these settings
instead of the turn into at the top, a VERY clear "PRACTICE MODE" should be present to easily distinguish between practice games and live games.
these could be single player or multiplayer (e.g. anyone can join and they're randomly assigned one of the AI players territories) "The 🔵 Blue general has been replaced by a worthy foe" - with indicator of human present instead of ai
no stats required for this (can have, but not necessary/relevant as a player) - should not count towards games played or impact win streaks etc.
if a practice game is won you have the option to practice again or return to the lobby
when your queue is ready or the game is starting you receive a popup and get put straight into the actual game
message: "Time's up! The battle begins..."

Note: this idea is only relevant if ranked mode only had automatch - please vote on the idea as if it already was

Please give friends and family the option to play Casual matches with other people instead of just bots. For example, my sister and I got the game and the whole point was to play Risk against people (as well as each other from the get-go, we’re usually aggressive towards each other but friendly with everyone else). We don’t care about our ranking, we simply want to play against other people which we can’t do much with the actual board game that we have, and our only option in the game is to join a private casual session and add bots or someone we know (we don’t know anyone, the solution shouldn’t be make friends, send join requests and hope someone joins, it has to be simpler). We don’t want to play bots and we 100% don’t ally up when playing people, we simply want to beat each other up like normal players do except with other people that don’t care (aka casual not ranked). The game provides no options for playing with people in casual if you’re interested in playing with your family as well. Solution: add another casual mode or simply establish that the current casual mode permits friends together. Maybe prevent these friends from being allies (or not, we don’t care, we’re gonna be smashing each other’s troops anyways from the get-go and I’m pretty certain there are others out there needing something similar). We don’t mind for example joining a match with 3 others who know each other, it’s just casual online. Basically it’s kind of absurd that if you have a friend your only option is to play the same other friends you two know, play bots, or cheat in ranked. You should be able to just create/meet up in casual sessions without it being prohibited the way it currently is. The game is online it should excel at providing families that service easily, no need to search in discord (nobody plays on our timezone) and without ruining the games for others.

When players go offline for 10 minutes, they take the lowest placing available REGARDLESS of whether bots are automated or neutral. If bots are set to automated, they will continue attacking like normal, but the player’s position is already determined from the 10 minutes.

Teams Mode
Greetings and Salutations, I would like to propose the creation of a "Teams Mode" meaning:
In a casual online multiplayer lobby, if I have a friend(or friends) in the lobby I should be able to form a "Team" with myself, my online friends, or AI. Then the remaining AI or online players would then form a second "Team". Matches could be 2v4, 3v3, 1v5 should even be an option.( As 1v5 could potentially raise the difficulty if desired by players)
Victory at that point would be achieved in World Domination Mode by an entire "Team" being eliminated. For example if the match was 3v3 and 2 players had been eliminated from the same team leaving one remaining player; the game would not end until said player had lost all their remaining territories. Said player could still achieve victory for their "Team" regardless of their other 2 teammates (AI or online friends) being eliminated by controlling all territories and eliminating the other team.
For example in Capitals Mode, no sole player would need to control all 6 capitals. Rather as long as one "Team" was in control of all 6 Capitals victory would be achieved.
Thank you for reading.

New Map Ideas

Optional game settings that apply different themes to replace default map backgrounds
Some examples:

sand dunes in place of water
sandstorms can occur randomly across the map, sweeping troops across the board - this will result in some contested territories and hopefully RNG gods are in your favour
lava flows around the map
10% chance to burn territories beside lava, no troops can survive - any burned territories are unusable for 3 turns - and will be blank after it has cooled. To take the territory you can attack it (this will not roll dice, and you skip to selecting how many troops to move - you must leave at least 1 as normal after taking it)
alien invaders (these overlay the map occasionally, rather than impacting the map itself)
there is a small (10%) chance for troops to be abducted from a single territory on the board
for the next 3 turns, there is a 10% chance that your troops will return with 3x their firepower (having successfully overpowered their abductors - they were being cloned and all are willing to rejoin the war) - the missing troops are tripled. (E.g. 3 troops becomes 9 troops)
if you are eliminated, you can return if you have troops abducted and the 10% chance of returning occurs. This presents a unique possibility for surviving a battle.

Some more unique gameplay modifiers could completely overhaul current strategies, with any map background(theme) modifiers being a possible route for customising existing maps further - with unique twists

Client-side colours
Previously new colours were trialed back in 2021 - unfortunately there were some unforeseen issues that resulted in most of these being removed. It could be a good time to consider revisiting these in 2024.

New Colours

New colours can be added either individually or as part of palettes.
Colours should be client-side only - you can still differentiate players as Players 1-6, but what colour you are is only visible to you - your colour will be random to other players too.

Colour Palettes for opponents

To customise your game experience you can set the colour palette for games, some examples:

traditional (the standard board colours as they are today) (free)
colour-blind friendly options
Protanopia (free)
Deuteranopia (free)
Tritanopia (free)

With players able to freely change their names, avatars and country flags it can be difficult to see if someone in a lobby has been in a previous game.

Lobby Cards for Friends and Recently Played

I propose a feature to make it more clear if a player in someone's lobby has been in a previous game. This could be displayed visually by a card behind a player's frame and avatar. This would appear very similar to how players with cards are displayed in game. It would appear in both joined and hosted games.

Any player recently played or friended would get this card. For those previously played, it could remain during a cooldown period. However, for those on the friends list the card would be permanent.

Players who bot out should get the lowest available rank retroactive to their time of disconnect as soon as their time to reconnect expires. A very brief window for reconnection after accidental disconnect is fair. I suggest 5 minutes / 3 turn rounds (which ever is shorter).

Please correct the length of both Automated and Neutral bot turns.

There is no reason that bot turns should last longer than a few seconds.

Please correct the time to action for a bot on its first turn after a bot out.

If a player is not present at the beginning of their turn or within 10 seconds then the bot should immediately take over. Players who disconnect have all the time between turns to reconnect. If they are not making moves or at least confirming their presence at the beginning of their turn then the bot should act immediately and they can reconnect before their next turn comes.

It would be nice to remove the colour change for names from the name itself, and enable it as an option in the game. This toggle could be even locked behind a paywall (like premium). This would allow people to change the colour of their name without ruining their name for other online games.

Advanced Filter toggle in Game Setup & Game Filters

Blank box (Default)

Red box (Blocked)
this must not be enabled

This could also tie in to game modes, so you can select which you would like to see and which you don't want listed.
Can also be tied into maps (so you select map packs or specific maps you want to see or not see)

A final suggestion to this would be having the option to save these Filters, you could have a save slot for SP, Ranked, and Casual - maybe add more filter slots with Premium.

If you switch from Advanced to Basic, anything explicitly denied will be removed, anything explicitly required will be removed, and the default selected item will be what it was originally. (Means basic config is saved and advanced config is saved, separately)

Cheddar (416297536685473792)

New Gameplay

My idea is for a setting called Forced Surrender. It would try and mimic realistic battle scenarios where if one side is assured defeat, they often surrender rather than fight to the death.

Right now, it seems that the meta in risk is to react, rather than be proactive. In certain setting variants, including the current "meta settings," the first person to act is often punished, all other things being equal. This leads to the current stalemate issue, when everyone is looking to react, instead of act themselves. My idea would try to help reward acting first and making moves.

Basically, Forced Surrender would be an option that you can toggle on and off when balanced blitz dice are active that when turned on, would cause half of troops that are defeated in 100% rolls to join your side in surrender rather than die. It would only work in balanced blitz since true random assures any army always has some chance of victory and would only apply if the troop amount used, whether via slider or not, garuantees a 100% victory in that roll. This way, players that go for a kill aren't completely punished, while still making it risky if you don't have the troops to definitively have a victory. I think a setting like this used in conjunction with Fixed or Caps games could be a way to help increase the chance of a snowball off of a good play and mitigate the chance of stalemate.

Add a turn timer with increments per attack. If you get +1 second per attack, no one will run out of time to execute their plan. This greatly helps slower/mobile players who struggle with 60 second turn timers. This also ensures that faster players don't get too much of a benefit, which is usually the main argument against longer turn timers. Faster - PC - players will get some extra time, but in general everyone will still have only 60 seconds to plan and execute their moves.

Dice Functionality

Problem
There are two main issues with the BB slider, this idea focuses solely on the intended logic, not the implementation/estimates issue. Due to the BB logic it’s possible for a lot of battles to lose more troops than the minimum required for a 100% roll (or, lose more on average for any battle), in practice the maximum losses for the 100% are even lower than the troops needed in combat. This problem exists because the BB logic boosts the win% of the party that is most likely to win and then truncates the most extreme outcomes for the troop losses. (So some battle outcomes first get a boost in probability, which causes them to make it past the truncation.)

Solution
You can simply reverse the order and apply the truncation first and then apply the win% boost afterwards. This solves the problem. Eliminating any benefit for using the slider for small battles (e.g., “needing to” perfect slider when attacking a one, or any other “small” number of troops).

Silent Legend (602903467505483797)

Settings and Modifiers

Add a "Special jokers mode" to the game, which you can turn on or off.

How it would work:

The 6th Card every player takes will always be a special kind of joker/wild card. It will work like a regular joker, but once traded in it doesn't go back into the deck.

Background:
Everyone who has played Risk before has probably complained about one or both of these two things: Dice luck and Card luck.
Risk has a lot of different aspects, all bringing their own portion of skill but also their own portion of luck into the game. A good balance of those two is the essence of any competitively viable setting.
I order to give our games that balance, we most often apply Balanced Blitz dice odds to them, since dice are the #1 most influential aspect on every game. But there is another aspect, following that one closely: Cards.
So here I would like to suggest an idea, which would make cards more "balanced" than they have been so far.

What this would solve:

The exact moment when cards will always matter the most in any Progressive Card bonus game, is when everyone has taken their 6th/7th card. That's when not having a set on 3 or 4 will always be a question of luck that can decide the entire outcome of your game by pure chance. That is why giving everyone a joker as their 6th card would eliminate that issue. Deciding wether to trade or not to trade in this joker, making intelligent decisions on how to use your recourses best would get a whole new meaning at this crucial point of the game.

Compromise:

Why the 6th and not the 1st card? If you were to receive this joker as your first card - which I was originally planning to suggest - there would always be a component of luck involved, where you would be forced to trade that joker in when going to 5 cards.
This could very well be yet another setting though, as a better fit for Fixed Card Bonus games, since in those the early cards will always be the most crucial.

Settings and Modifiers

Just as with dice, I think options for balanced or random cards would greatly enhance the experience of the game for players of all skill levels. Balanced cards could guarantee a set on 4 while never giving sets on 3, this is more geared towards progressive and could work differently in fixed, or it could be disabled in fixed, whichever makes sense. And of course there would always be the standard random card setting, so players/organizers always have the option to choose whichever fits better with the rest of the settings.

Could features from risk urban assault be added to this, perhaps commanders could be added as an extra option to Blizzards, fog and portals. I also thought the idea of electing a mayor / president based on whoever held the most capitals was revolutionary, the mayor was elected every 4 turns, they would have two options at the start of their turn, they could reward another player 2 cards to spend on troops or could outlaw another player setting a bounty of 3 stars on them , whoever took most of the outlawed players territory in 2 turns would claim the bounty and yes the mayor could take their own Bounty's, I think all this rewarded more aggressive play so passive players would lose more often resulting in a faster paced game. I loved it and I think others would to, even if for now only commanders could be added it would be an extra nice feature, I'm not all that bothered about dice and emotes

If either players breaks the ceasefire they pay the other player 2 cards, if they don't have 2 cards future cards taken go to the other player until settled. This can basically be used to say to a player you have been in a long expensive war with to say look let's stop this madness and get the other snowballing player under control.

Banning accounts for cooperative gameplay poses inherent issues: Pushes users to leave or create new accounts. Risks losing potential paying customers. Drives users to competing platforms. May result in negative feedback and sentiment. Solution: Introduce cooperative game modes: Encourage teamwork and collaboration among friends. Enforce rules against exploitation in single-player or ranked modes. Introduce team-based game modes and ranked modes for groups. Enhance gaming experience, attract new players, and foster a more inclusive community. Let's shape the future of Risk gameplay together. Thank you for your consideration.

A bot thats called something along the lines of "self destructing bot". The idea is that this bot can be selected by players and if a player leaves the game (or disconnects) bot will take the players place and will self destruct. What this means is the players territories all get reduced to 1 troop, their cards get taken and put back into the pool and the player will not be able to join back. In capital conquest their cap could also disappear meaning no one gets a free capital. This will prevent players cheating by using the bot out "strat", BUT will sacrifice the oppurtunity to join back if you do genuinely disconnect. A warning could come up before joining a lobby saying something along the lines of "The lobby you are about to join has "self destructing bots" enabled. If you leave or disconnect you WILL NOT be able to join back." so players know what they are getting themselves into. If a player doesn't ready up at the start of the game and they are replaced by a bot, they could be replaced by an automatic bot instead so there isn't the possibility of an area being emptied by the bot.

Reid Fujiwara (699039906097528864)

Settings and Modifiers

There should be a troop limit setting when you make a game that limits the total amount of troops each player can have on the board at a time. This would allow games more accurate to the physical board game because you don’t have infinite troop minis to place on the board in real life. This also allows the option to make stacking capitals in progressive games less effective because they could only stack their capitals so big while their opponents could catch up quickly with higher troop income. If a player is at the troop limit, any extra troops are discarded, wasting their income, this encourages players to attack with their troops until they lose enough to keep their full income… if they want to be efficient with their troops.

Provide a red tooltip on unavailable settings when setting up a game or filtering games

The best example would be Manual Placement/ Semi Auto placement being disallowed in 70% Domination and Speed Blitz, and Progressive cards being disabled in Speed Blitz.

It is not clear to players why it cannot be set, a simple tooltip for this would be:
🔴 You cannot edit this setting for {Game Mode} games.
Having the tooltip with a red background, similar to "no email set" but in the usual "helpful info tooltip" icon, draws attention to it and can quickly educate players as to why something isn't available.

This could optionally be used for other areas too, like changing display names being blocked or because no social account is linked.

(( Enhancing Gaming Experience: Introducing Post-Game Replays and Analysis )) In the ever-evolving landscape of gaming, where innovation drives progress and player satisfaction, there's a compelling idea on the horizon that could revolutionize the way we engage with our favorite games. Imagine a world where the thrill of victory or the sting of defeat doesn't just fade away once the game ends, but rather, where it becomes an opportunity for deeper learning and enjoyment. This is where the concept of post-game replays and analysis steps in, offering a new frontier for gaming enthusiasts worldwide. At its core, the proposal is simple yet profound: integrate a feature within games that allows players to review and analyze their performance after the match concludes. This functionality would enable gamers to revisit key moments, scrutinize strategies, and gain valuable insights into their gameplay. Whether it's reliving a clutch play, dissecting tactical errors, or celebrating moments of brilliance, post-game replays offer a treasure trove of learning opportunities. / But the benefits extend beyond individual skill enhancement. Imagine the collective growth of gaming communities as players come together to exchange strategies, share tips, and learn from each other's experiences. With post-game analysis tools, clans, teams, and individuals can collaborate more effectively, refining their techniques and elevating their gameplay to new heights. Furthermore, the implementation of post-game replays and analysis aligns perfectly with the burgeoning esports scene. As competitive gaming continues to gain mainstream recognition, the demand for comprehensive post-match breakdowns grows exponentially. By integrating this feature into esports platforms, organizers can provide fans with deeper insights into matches, fostering a deeper connection between players and spectators. / From a developer's perspective, the addition of post-game replays and analysis represents a win-win scenario. Not only does it enhance the overall gaming experience, fostering player retention and loyalty, but it also provides invaluable data for ongoing game refinement and balance adjustments. By empowering players to engage more deeply with their games, developers can cultivate a thriving ecosystem built on passion, skill, and continuous improvement. / Of course, the implementation of such a feature comes with its challenges. From technical considerations to privacy concerns, there are myriad factors to address. However, with careful planning, robust infrastructure, and community feedback, these hurdles can be overcome, paving the way for a new era of gaming innovation. / In conclusion, the introduction of post-game replays and analysis represents a groundbreaking leap forward in gaming technology. By harnessing the power of reflection and collaboration, this feature has the potential to enrich the gaming experience for players of all levels, from casual enthusiasts to professional competitors. As we look towards the future of gaming, let us embrace this idea and usher in a new era of interactive entertainment, where every match is not just a game but an opportunity for growth and discovery.

Currently if you leave the Risk app for more than around 5 seconds to use other apps, your lobby cancels.

On mobile, when waiting in Risk lobbies that take a long time to fill, it would be very handy to be able to pop Risk into a small tab, use other apps, then get a ping when your lobby fills, so you can start it.

Display how many bots are in a match before joining. I hate joining games and seeing that there's 2-4 bots. Sometimes the host starts before you can leave, I assume to try and trap you, and then you get stuck in the animation for added time. I assume the hosts are trying to cheese out wins vs players who don't know how bot AI is handled.

A standard file specification for the full game log

Being able to easily share the complete history of a game, i.e. a full log of what has happened would massively simplify the ability to discuss games and especially certain situations in certain turns. It would also make it possible to use these files in a replayer that could even be a Web app. But that will be a separate idea. This could create a boom in public (and private) strategy discussion that would massively accelerate the already ongoing increase in skill across the player base. Streamers could use the replayer to discuss and criticize other people's games as a "I (top GM) discuss your moves" kind of segment.

The whole file and replayer would be relatively light weight in terms of storage and bandwidth because all the information would easily fit into roughly 1000 lines (or thereabouts) of a plain text file.

The log could be restricted to the information the player the log originates from had access to during the game, e.g. only amount of cards for others rather than which exact cards and no info about fog of war activity.

Ideally the file specification would be easily human readable (and at the same time very rigid such that it can be easily parsed by a computer) such that an experienced user could understand the state of play simply from reading this log file rather than having to replay it. But that is just a bonus. If it was an xml or json file then that would be fine. I already have a rough draft of a human friendly format in mind but of course that would have to be crafted very carefully it if aspires to be a global standard in the Risk universe.

For those that have ever played online poker think of hand histories. I am almost certain that all of this must already exist, however only at SMG. If they take inspiration from how online poker sites make this information easily available then they should be able to see that there shouldn't really be any downside to releasing it.

Chola Empire (South East India, Maldives, Sri Lanka)

Blank Cards mode

A while ago, I've suggested a "special jokers" mode in an attempt to figure out the best way to balance one of the biggest luck factors in Risk: Card luck.
Now I'm seeing the need to bring is up again, with a new idea:

Optional mode, that you can turn on/off: Blank Cards mode.

Every card you draw would be a blank card, guaranteeing you would ALWAYS have a set on 3 (a 10 set in Fixed) which would give you the ability to choose when/if you want to trade it in. This would be for the more competitive side of Risk, but in my eyes a great thing to have.

This suggestion is for a collab between Risk and warhammer. After seeing the recent events in Art-Competition-voting I Belive a warhammer collab like how its being done with dune would be really cool and fit the game amazingly. You could do about 3-4 different sets like the gods of the realm. (Khorne - The Blood God is the Chaos God of war, hate, rage, murder and bloodshed. |Nurgle - The Plague Lord is the Chaos God of disease, death, despair, inevitable decay and rebirth. |Slaanesh - The Dark Prince is the Chaos God of pleasure, pain, excess, self-indulgence and perfection. |Tzeentch - The Changer of Ways is the Chaos God of change, sorcery, ambition, hope and knowledge.) I also belive the art for the dice would be absolutly amazing along with what type of troop looks people can come up with.

can we please add a way to ban players so we don't interact with them? There are inherently limited player pools so I can understand why this might not be a workable suggestion but it is frustrating when people cheat and there is no way to ensure you don't run into them again. They can change their name very easily and keep doing this bad behavior because the report system is only as good as the player buy in and dev enforcement. Collab sucks and being able to avoid players who do it would be helpful to the ability to play the game without disheartening interactions

Update for the Alliances system: When an ally wants to attack you, they have to break the alliance first and wait for the next turn. Reason: So far the most common reason people use alliances is to betray them right after making the alliance. The benefit of making an alliance should be balanced with some sort of responsibility or penalty to even it out. Expanding the Alliance system on it's own would be amazing. It opens up a whole other level of strategy (diplomacy).

Two changes to Gems explicitly for play pass users

If play pass is active, every 5 seconds have the actual gem balance show for ½ a second instead of the infinity symbol
new players often don't realise they can claim daily gems "ad free" / may think that infinite + 2 gems is still infinite
if play pass is active
add a tooltip beside gems in shop specifically, when clicking tooltip "you have Google Play Pass! this grants temporary access to unlimited gems. You will lose any items purchased when play pass expires. Your hidden gem balance is: 6 gems"

An alternative would be to show a popup window the first time play pass is activated / renewed to provide this information - as it's a common area of confusion, both of these changes would positively impact players by providing relevant information about their purchase - rather than just being confused.

Set secondary and maybe even a third color: When I join a game and someone else already has my primary color, I get a random color. With luck I get my second favourite color, but often I get a color I don't like. Then I have to rerol a couple of times to get it and often the game starts without me being able to have chosen my secondary color. I would be nice to add an option for a secondary color, which gets selected when my color is already in use. While ahead, why not even add a third option, which gets selected when my 3 favourite colors are already selected XD. It will save the player some trouble. Getting a random color is also very confusing, because it's not always clear that I don't have my primary color and I'm like "Huh, wasn't I black?".

Organ Robber (1235681988598300795)

Ranked

have a different system for finding matches for expert and up ffa ranked players. It is in no way a show of real skill to beat 5 novices and beginners in FFA, but that's the only way to rank up to top 100. To become a grandmaster, you should actually have to beat grandmaster players. Otherwise you're not really grandmaster, you're just someone good at beating newbies. It'd be like if in the chess community someone beat 1,000 newbies and claimed they were within the same range of magnus carlsen (one of the best chess players). Like no, to be top tier you've gotta beat top tier players. In League of Legends, the top ranked players play against each other too. And it takes 10 players to fill up their lobbies, risk only takes 6. You do have to wait in a queue for a good while at top ranks but at least you get skill based matchmaking. and with how long risk games are, a longer queue isn't much of an issue, if it takes 15 minutes to find a 2-3 hour match that's pretty good. I say add a mass enforced queue system for expert and up, no more letting people create custom ranked lobbies. Instead, for FFA, they all queue up for the same generic Earth settings. You can add special game modes too, so people can choose between queuing up for generic earth settings, then say Japan capitals with fog of war, and then say africa with blizards. Then people will be able to match with people of their skill level. Grandmasters it could take up to 30 minutes to find a game, masters 20 minutes, expert 5 minutes are my rough calculations. If you want to have begginers and novices use it too, they should have instant match-making. Instant matchmaking for new players would make it easier for them to get into the game. Also get corporate to spend some money on marketing the game, I don't understand why Risk doesn't have more players. It's a well-fleshed out game with tons of replayablity, next to no bugs, and its simple to learn, it's a game both casual and competive players alike can enjoy. Maybe it's not fast paced enough to be popular, it's not fortnite, but my god it should be the most played board game by far. Yes custom lobbies are nice, but I believe for the game to actually be competive and respected being a top ranked player should mean you are good at the game. Then people will want to be top ranked more because they know it's difficult to obtain. Also top 100 players streaming or posting videos would get significantly more views if the audience knew how talented one must be to reach that top spot. I know Risk is a game which has some RNG elements like where you start and sometimes battle rng is a issue. But I'm able to win my games consistently so I know there is a significant skill element to it. Casuaul play can have the queue system too or keep custom lobbies. I believe custom lobbies serve a role, but they shoudn't be the primary frame for getting into a game, espescially in ranked. - Organ Robber's rant of something SMG has probably already thought of doing! There's a lot of untapped potential in Risk, I believe it's a great game that deserves more attention as do many other people in this community.

There should be a match log for you to see your past matches., something that shows you the map of the matches and your placement, maybe some other things .. Unless there already is, and im not sure where i'd leave a game suggestion so ill just leave it here haahah

I would like to add 2 ideas, if you don't like one you can add the other, you see, I'm like rubingun, here I go 1: the first idea is for poor people like me, or some from Latin America who don't even have enough to buy a shoe, I include myself, okay, idea 1 would be an event, I don't know, with 3 winners, like a tournament, but with prizes that give you, I don't know, top 1, 5,000 gems, or the premium, and so on until you get to the top 3, which would give a very bad reward, but it is a reward for poor people like me, so we motivate them to enter the competitive game and stand out more 2: reduce the time to get a token, let's say, if you don't like the first one, this is the minimum, since to play I have to wait 60 minutes for each minute, 2 games a day, I don't know, lower the minimum timer to 40 minutes, I don't know, I say I want to play 600 games a day, but I can't, haha

There should be a way to remove the luck of cards completely, either by guaranteeing that cards always match to a +10 and you can trade whenever or by having it be possible to simply remove cards. I think it'd be nice for competitivity and less luck based games, obviously it kinda goes against what risk is but it would make some funny games I feel like. In any case, having it as a setting always allows players to just not use it if they don't want to, I think the more settings / options there are, the better

It should be possible to turn a casual -> private game into a public game. Sometimes you are going to play with some friends but you would still like to have more random players join your match as if you were creating a casual->public game, so i think it would be nice to make that possible

New Gameplay

Add clan formation to the game, the ability to chat with the clan and also chat with the friends list. Obviously when you enter the game these functions are disabled, you need to give more incentives to the players for example a free battle pass with cosmetic rewards such as dice, puppet, icon and frames. There are many things that can be improved but I never see changes, you could make the game more strategic by adding new modes or add special troops that are recruited based on the territories conquered or something like that, participation in tournaments is very cumbersome... You need to go to the discord, open external sites etc. These things should be available within the game so it seems more professional.

Add a new stat called "players killed." Amounts defeated is already obvious using someone's number of losses from the other stats.

New Gameplay

Nuclear Risk: I have 2 versions for nuclear risk, let me know which you think is best and would like to see: 1. Every 10 turns a player gets a nuclear bomb, which they can drop on any province, reducing the targeted province's troops by half. Could let people store up muiltple nukes or not. 2. Every troop someone earns counts towards their nuclear weapon production. Over a period of muiltple turns or perhaps one if we are in a prog game with high card income, one fills up their nuclear meter. 100 troops produced = 1 nuke. Nuke would function the same, reducing any target province's troops by half. Could let people store their nukes or not.

I suggested in the past that it'd be nice to have a match history with some infos. That was pretty well received and I believe it would also be nice if to that a "replay mode" was added, would be really cool if i could just go back to matches i've played and see them without fog for example and have a sort of a slider of all the time the match took to allow for easily moving through the match and also a way for players to skip rounds and not just based on time, so for example a skip button with a number near it, both to go forward and backwards in time and near it there would be a button where players can click up and down and that would be the number of rounds skipped, would make it easy then for players to select how many rounds they wish to skip. Like this players can review their games and think about what they could have done better if they wish to do so. The replays could be deleted automatically after like a week or an even smaller time period if you feel like that'd be better.

Have a ranked game cooldown for every clown that disconnects in under 90 minutes since the RANKED game started because I'm sick of losing because 3 out of 6 players bot out in first round and one guy takes 3 caps in one turn. Every COMPETITIVE game has such punishments for leavers because it ruins the COMPETITIVE aspect of the game. And RISK is a COMPETITIVE game otherwise it wouldn't have RANKED matches. The idea is simple: for early leavers(leaving in under 90 minutes since the RANKED game started) issue a cooldown of whatever time frame for RANKED matches, and the more RANKED games one leaves early, the more the cooldown extends and it resets to minimum again after whatever number of days

Reconnecting to a match needs to be made better. There are times that you leave a match for whatever reason, internet problems, computer or mobile just dies, whatever it may be, and the popup to return to match doesn't even appear. I've also had some bug where the reconnecting to match thing that appears in the upper part of the screen when your internet dies just stays there even though internet came back and i could still play (easy solution to this would be to make this warning be less invasive and instead appear in some corner or something lol), and also there has to be a connection between mobile and PC, I've had some times where I was playing on my pc and for example i have to go eat or have to go do whatever and it would be much more practical to keep playing from mobile but there is simply no way to reconnect on mobile. It makes no sense at all that this is a thing and it would be an insanely big quality of life upgrade if it was fixed.

Silent Legend (602903467505483797)

Settings and Modifiers

Background: The way Zombie Apocalypse currently works, is that apparently the undead behave randomly, but in fact they don't.
The undead have their preferred pathing which they will always follow. But what that pathing looks like for each map is hidden away and that knowledge can only be acquired through the process of testing and putting it onto paper. The same counts for the way the undead add troops.
This makes the mode a game of acquiring secret knowledge, which is no skill that should matter in risk. Risk should be playable for all on the same level.

Idea to solve this issue:

Add an overlay, similarly to the overlay that shows what holding each continent/bonus is worth. The overlay would show the Undead's preferred pathing (primary, secondary etc in different colors), as well as give information about the way the undead will add troops.
For non fog games you could even add a display of the exact percentage of how much troops the Undead currently control.

The "inactivity" warning is very annoying. You want to instantly get back to the game when you've been inactive for 50s but you have to click the check button to be able to get back, which especially in games of 60s turn timers is very annoying. If instead of this the game made a sound in the beginning of a player's turn that would already remind people who tab out that it is their turn, its not like the warning does anything at all apart from being annoying,.

Background:
The way alliance requests currently work is that you can send alliance requests, but you can't cancel them. Another player can hold on to the request and accept it much later in the game to gain an unfair advantage in FOW games.
Alliance requests aren't retractable and there's a cooldown to resend an alliance request in order to prevent someone from spamming them.

Idea:
Once someone sends you an alliance request you have 1 Full Turn to accept, before it's automatically "rejected". (1 Turn = it's every player's turn once)
You can't send an alliance request to a player that has rejected or broken your alliance again, unless you were the last one to reject or break an alliance with that very same player.
Remove the cooldown to send alliance requests, since it's now redundant.

What this would solve:
You cannot hold on to Alliance requests in order to gain an unfair advantage.
You can't spam alliance requests, but both players interacting with each other can do so more freely.

RISK Missions variant
outline

every X rounds, players receive a mission
easy missions may require completion in 1 round, difficult missions could be up to 5 rounds
if you fail to complete your mission before the deadline you are eliminated

example missions

lose no territories in a turn (3 turns to complete)
lose 5 territories (2 turns to complete)
receive a continent bonus (1 turn)
eliminate a player (5 turns)
obtain a wildcard (5 turns)
win a manual roll with 1 dice (2 turns)
win a blitz attack with 2 dice (1 turn)
break an ally's continent (3 turns)
break 2 held continents (3 turns)

This is a bit of a reversed version of RISK Missions, optionally let players respawn if they lose all their territories - but failing a mission is permanent elimination.

It'd be great for a massive multiplayer mode (100 players+) but could be fun to trial run with 6-10 player games too

Silent Legend (602903467505483797)

Settings and Modifiers

Background:
The current turn timers limit the time you have to think AND the time you have to execute. It's important to differentiate between those two.
Limiting thinking time raises the competitive standard, while limiting execution time punishes those who don't have the capabilities of going faster, which something that Risk as a strategy game should not be about.
More often than not will players spend most of their turns executing quickly anyways.
We can conclude from this, that thinking time should be possible to be limited, while your time to execute should never be limited.
Too many games have been negatively influenced by this.

Idea:
Freeze the timer whenever you're taking an action, such as placing troops attacking, and fortifying troops.
While placing troops, moving troops between attacks or fortifying troops (selecting how much you want to transfer), the rest of the board must turn into fog, so that you can't use this extra time to analyze the board, since this isn't the intend.

What this would solve:
We'd have successfully separated thinking time from ones ability to execute.
A fair ground for everyone to play on.
Even further - this opens up possibilities of adding lower turn timers than what we currently have.

New Verified Badge Types and ability to switch between them
Would be really cool to have badges specific to events, for example:

FFA 2024 Season 1
participate in FFA to receive this badge
clicking on it will show placement in the event (e.g. #25)
badge selector
pick between all of your obtained badges to display one as primary
badge summary
display obtained badges in user profile - may need a "view all" button - which upon clicking, shows all badges - click on any badge for more info.
would be using emojis to represent different types of badges

These would be quite different from current verified badges in that they'd be easily obtainable, so may better suit as medals instead - this would also mean being able to add medals for lots of in-app things such as:

complete tutorial
win 1000 games
play 50 games
roll 3 wins as an attacker
So there would be some crossover with achievements as well

As we all know very well, Risk with good opponents is very likely to end up in a stalemate, especially since capitals is currently one of the most used game modes.
How about introducing a third card option instead of just fixed and progressive where the card value increases exponentially?
You could just call it Exponential.
This would make kills profitable or at least possible at all times, not just for a short period of time, as is now the case with Progressive.
Of course, you would need to do a bit of testing to find the exact exponent that works for the card sequence on most maps.
But I think this would at least be a huge improvement and might even resolve the game's stalemating problem entirely.

Ranked

I'm having a hard time with hosting lobbies lately. There's a couple players who keep joining my lobby, I kick them, they come back, emoji spam stupid stuff, I kick them again, rinse and repeat. This can take 10min or longer. My lobby is full but I can't fire the lobby because they instantly rejoin and block the 6th spot. I don't want to play with a bot or 5 players and they're really fast at rejoining. I need to hope for someone else to get the spot before they can rejoin. The other players will get bored waiting for so long and just leave, now my lobby is empty again.

Couldn't we just make it so that if you get kicked let's say 3x from a lobby, you can't join it again? That shouldn't be hard to implement.

The only way to stop those players from joining my lobby is to play them once, add them as a friend and hope they accept. But I don't want to plat them at all, they're toxic and I know they will just try and ruin my game the way they already behave in the lobby.

Also, it would be nice if there was another way of preventing to be matched again against certain players other than having to add them as a friend and hope they accept. There's many reasons why I wouldn't like to play the same people again, mainly because if they do remember me, they might be biased towards me and play differently as if they played against complete strangers only.

It would be great if we could click on players names in the lobby and block them as well as after the game add the option to block a player instead of only being able to add them as a friend.

I know there's not an infinite number of players and I can't play random new players every game especially if I always play the same map and settings, it will attract the same players over and over again. So maybe make it so that we can block them for 48h or 1 week and the game could also prevent a lobby of people who have played more than 2, 3 whatever times in the past 24/48h or whatever from firing.

New Gameplay

Introduction of randomly generated maps, you have an objective to reach - but you have multiple ai players that are only interested in killing you. To prevent simply stacking one territory to win, ai players will aggressively attack human players that they border with - until all troops are dead.
This can have fog and non fog versions (fog adding greater difficulty)
The objective is to escape the level, so this could be a ladder, a hot air balloon, a trapdoor, a door, a portal, or anything else really.
To accommodate the extreme difficulty of multiple ai players only targeting you, the map has a variety of modifiers / consumables across territories, these could be chests or little electric power ups etc (picking up a chest could mean 20% chance of doubling your troops, 10% chance of quadrupling them)

The player starts in the middle of maps generally, as if they were dropped directly into battle. The human player should always be player 1 (first in turn order) - and starts with 100 (or so) troops.
Easier maps may only have 1 exit point, harder maps will have multiple.

Due to the aggressive behaviour from ai, dead ends will be crucial for surviving each turn.

There should also be some ai-based game modifiers in place, e.g. "negative power ups that they can claim" - as well as troop regeneration at a high scale (this should make eliminating an opponent nearly but not quite impossible, and eliminating an opponent can incur massive retaliation from remaining ai players (impossible to win from))

This mode would be best suited for single player, however a multiplayer version would be possible, you'd just need to allow players to drop in nearby to each other (or require that they leave the starting territory on their turn) - so it'd allow for both versions (competitive MP experience vs each other, or a cooperative MP experience together)

Allow individual map purchases over having to buy the entire map pack. For example, instead of having to pay 450 gems for a full map pack, charge something like 200-250 gems to buy a single map from any map pack, and IF you want to buy the remainder of the map pack, you can pay something like 337 for the remaining 3 maps. This way players don't have to buy an entire map pack if they don't want to, but SMG still makes more money per map, and even if just 2 of the 4 maps are purchased from the map pack, that's roughly the same cost as buying the map pack straight up. I think this would be a win for players and SMG alike, but I'll leave this open for discussion.

Battle Log filtering

When opening battle log, the player icons pop away - it'd be good if they stayed - but when you click them it greys them out (excluding that player's turns for each round)

This would mean that you can click all except one players to see their troop gain over time.

It'd work even better if you could select draft, attack, fortify phases - maybe even add filtering for specific continents or actions like zombie infections? All of these would probably not be worth implementing with the default length battle log, so my suggestion comes with recommendation for a custom length battle log of default, 1k, 10k, unlimited (with a warning ⚠️ if memory usage is too high & starting to affect gameplay, that log entries will start being deleted from oldest) - maybe allowing export to .txt file or view on hasbrorisk website, so it can be exported & cleared so the history can start building up again for long games.

Change Expert Zombies to use Hard Zombies attacking algorithm. The expert bots use a predicable algorithm, but they use a stacker bots algorithm. This makes it easy to avoid them just by sitting anywhere but in their primary pathing. Hard bots use a similar algorithm, but when they make a successful attack, they can and often do split. This allows them to spread out more quickly and makes them take over to the point where they don't need to infect. However, Hard bots don't get as many troops on their turn making them easier to control. In my opinion, keeping the troop generation of expert zombies, but the attacking algorithm of hard AI will allow for a more difficult bot with hopefully very little code work required.

If this gets added in the game, it would be VERY useful in general and even in competitive scene, since special Tourney modifiers will be used with Secret missions, kill target missions like Assassins, conquer specific continents like a Conquest playmode and conquer x amount of territories (which is always 70% essentially) as a 70% modifier.

Zombies should not multiply/attack on the same turn that they break out. Currently, when fewer than 45% of the total troops on the board are zombies, there is a chance for a random player to have one of their territories infected. The problem with this, is that there is no way to defend against it, and it's almost always an instant loss (especially early in the game.) The intended way to "defend" against this is to split your troops across multiple territories, to avoid losing them all to one infection, but the problem is that because there are so few zombies on the board, they also multiply at the start of their turn. So if you have let's say 3 stacks of 20 next to each other, and one of them suffers an outbreak, and then multiplies, there is now a 40-50 stack adjacent to your other 20 stacks. The zombies attack, and take out at least one of your 20 stacks, as well as any territories you had behind it. There's no way to distribute your troops to avoid this, as anytime your largest stack turns, you're screwed. The easiest solution to this is to either make the converted troops not attack on the same turn they break out, giving the victim time to adjust and defend, or simply not having the newly infected zombies multiply, so that the other 20 stacks are safe.

A new setting or gamemode that makes missions not secret, but visible to everyone and a bit easier in return. There could be an indicator that shows the progression of the mission of the current player, like "7/13", and when clicked it shows what needs to be conquered, like territories or it highlights the continents or the targeted player, or something similar to this. This mode or setting might include player assasinations, eventhough they are planned to be seperated, since everyone can see which players are targeted by whom.

Among Us Blueprint Update: Make the blueprint background easier on the eyes for players
the one common comment i hear about this map pack is “i LOVE the among us maps BUT its hard on my eyes”. Understanding colour theory, if its possible to tone down how bold the Blue is compared to (what feels like) a pure white outline on the blueprint, as well as the connection lines, it may make the maps easier for players to see. it’s one thing to turn down the brightness on your phone or monitor, but that doesn’t solve the issue lol. even if the lines on the map were an off-white, or you had more shadow to contrast how different the two tones are (one could say the blue on the background is VERY close to what the Blue Player in game would look like, similar to zombies or a green player on Emergency Calls only). We don’t need an entire redesign, we just need a contrast that doesn’t make players feel like they’re going blind while playing Airship ❤️

I think, just like how we have stable and unstable ports, we definitely need unstable blizzards in the game. It would be a cool feature because it adds some unpredictability and keeps things interesting. After five rounds, the blizzard could move to a different spot and create new opportunities for everone. Once it moves, it should become an empty territory that anyone can grab. This way, it encourages competition. It would really shake things up and make every match feel different, which is always a good thing!

Since once you join a ranked game, your elo gain/loss is determined only by your placement, it would be nice for elo changes to take effect immediately after being defeated. It would take some more resources (since players' elos would be updated individually instead of as a group after a game), but it would be a nice QOL change.

Add the option to chain multiple attacks to execute them all at once to speed up the proccess of running over many weak territories with one big army. Players often concentrate troops to chain many attacks while leaving no additional troops behind. This could be simplified and accelerated by for example adding a button or something similar that when activated lets you select one of your territories as a starting point and enemy territories that are all connected to eachother in a potentilly long chain. after pressing the same button again and confirming, all the attacks are executed in a blink until the destination is reached or your troops didnt make it. While editing the chain attacks, you should be able to cancel the last attack of the chain and also to cancel the whole chain attack. This would also be just as fast on mobile as it is on pc and it would open more options even in short turn times.

Add the ability once every game especially in games with short turn timer, after your turn to force the other players to extend their turn to a minimum certain amount of time, so that you have more time to go afk if you want or need to do something quickly, without worrying that you might miss your turn. For example there are 6 players, and you want to go afk, everyones turn now lasts atleast 3 minutes, or exactly 3 minutes if the turn timer was set to 3 inutes or less, until its your turn again. This means you have atleast 15 minutes time without making everyone really wait for you. They even get more time to think and maybe go afk for a few minutes aswell. If we cant switch devices in the middle of the game, then this would be a good alternative to atleast allow short pause. I like to play with short turn timer, but when I have to go afk for a few minutes I often dont make it in time, and my game is potentially ruined because of that.

I really think the AI in Capital needs some serious work. Right now, it’s just not cutting it when playing against expert AI. Instead of protecting its capital, it often pulls all the troops away and only leaves a few behind, which is a pretty bad strategy. This definitely needs to be improved. With all the advancements in AI technology these days, I believe you guys could easily make it smarter. I find the current expert AI to be pretty terrible, and it really affects the gameplay experience. It feels frustrating and makes it less enjoyable. All I'm asking is if you could consider making some tweaks to enhance it a bit more. Just a little improvement could go a long way in making the game more fun and challenging. I really think it would make a huge difference for everyone playing!

2 phased suggestion focusing on improving the ability through alliances further:

Background: Currently, messages sent through alliance chat only pop up for a few seconds and often go unnoticed. Sending multiple messages that often relate to each other is also nearly impossible.

Idea 1: Keep the history of the alliance chat for a longer period of time. Having the entire history of the conversation might not be necessary, but being able to see the most recent part of the message history would be a big improvement.

Idea 2: Option to send messages with multiple layers. For example: "attack this player/territory/continent, then attack this player/territory/continent" or "attack this player/territory/continent, then I'm going to attack this player/territory/continent" or the reverse of that. Being able to send this kind of two layered message would already be an improvement. Being able to send a message with even more layers an even greater one.

Atleast to casual public games add the ability to invite only one friend, but only if 5 or 6 players are in the game to prevent abuse of this feature, and like in my previous suggestion on this topic everyone sees that you are friends, and in the screen where the games are listed it should show if there is a pair of friends or even two pairs in the game. Its a bit boring if I can only play with bots if I want to play with a friend, and if not in ranked it should atleast be possible in casual mode. if another player invites their friend the remaining two players can see that there are 2 pairs of friends and they can try to work together aswell for example.

Try now option on tooltips

It'd be great if clicking a tooltip on something (e.g fog of war) there was a try it out button - this would be to show;

a brief description about the tooltip (this would include tabs for everything else below, take you through the feature with option to go back pages)
where this setting can be found across the app (modifiers, filters, modifiers quick-slot, lobby preview, game lobby in the click settings pages)
how it affects gameplay (only see nearby territories, don't see troop & territory counts, still see troops gained)
-how it interacts with other settings (no spectate in ranked & public games, see territories, troop counts, & their (excluding their allies') vision, can always see blizzards & portal locations)
any prerequisites to use this setting (can join lobbies that others host it on, requires premium to host with, if it's not applicable to a gamemode (e.g. manual placement & speed blitz))
anything else that doesn't fit elsewhere (notes basically)

-# it'd be quite a big overhaul of tooltips, but it utilises existing UI elements (just adding more behind them) - and would make it much easier for players to familiarise themselves with how any part of the app works

In the secret mission mode, there's objectives in which you have to take out a certain player to win. However, if you're player A, and player B has the task to eliminate player C then Player D takes out player C, Player B instantly wins. Taking out players in my opinion is a fundamental part of the game but with this factor in play, it simply becomes too risky. So I suggest a sort of back up objective which changes if the player you're tasked to wipe out gets taken out by another player. This backup task could simply be to conquer x amount of territories.

I used to play a game on BBSes based on risk called Global War and it was like that, you logged in and did your turn, and it was super fun.

Dice Functionality

Determined outcomes for troops interaction - you can add it as dice type settings "determined". Firstly, all rolls become either 0% or 100%. Secondly, every roll has 100% predictable oucome(how many troops killed/lost): 100% rolls would range from negative and barelly positive to super positive depending on how many troops attacker uses; 0% rolls will have predictable amount of troops they remove from attacker stack. For example, defender 7. 10v7 is the smallest 100% roll - you always go -8 when winning it; 11v7 - go -7, 12v7 - go -6, 13v7 - go -5, 14v7 - go -4; everything above 14 attacking would not yield further attacker advantage. And for 0%, 9v7 always loses - removes 6 troops from defender stack; 8v7 - removes 5; 7v7 removes 4; 6v7 - removes 3; 5v7 - removes 2; 4v7 - removes 1; 3v7 doesn't remove any troops. How to code it or make formula of every roll? I have no idea, I don't know how math nor programming work. But I would guess that 100% series should start after respective 90% rolls for balanced blitz and yield no more further benefit for overkill rolls than 60% from defender troop count lost by attacker( 30 troops lost on 50 when rolling 70v50). However, formula should be different for small rolls like 7 and probably simply change at certain points when troop counts dreastically increase.

Existing Gameplay Changes

Whilst in the app version of the game in secret mission, if a player receives a “Kill X” mission they do not have to be the player to eliminate them to succeed in their mission. This means that another player could unknowingly win the game for the weakest player. In the board game if the players target is killed it swaps to the secondary mission which is “Occupy 24 territories”. This would make it so that a player does not get a free win for doing nothing.

When someone leaves the game have a setting where instead of a bot taking over it's just an automatic flag/resign. It's not fair to get lower placements than people that aren't prepared to stick around

Game End Screen
After completing a game, provide a summary of the game with some interesting statistics. For example:

Game Duration (xHxMxS)
Aggressive player (highest k/d ratio?)
Defensive player (lowest k/d ratio)
Biggest expansion player (most troops gained from bonuses)
Eliminator (most players killed)
Player icons could be shown on podiums (top 3, with 4,5,6 sitting crowded beside it (can think of it like skulls 😅))
Map name / Map Pack etc
Stats for each player
Rank changes etc

The idea is that these should be one screen summaries that players can screenshot & share as a final result of a game

Make the click boxes for selecting be the pucks for the territories. So that increasing UI scale would increase the click-ability of a territory by directing your click inside the puck rather than blocking the click box especially with portals.

This can be used as a replacement for current click box (always have to click the numbered puck) or added in addition to current click box (clicking anywhere that you can in the territory or on the puck). Either way would be vastly superior to a game that currently impedes play rather than facilitates it through bizarre click box interferences.

Maybe this has been suggested before and Hopefully SMG is already rolling out a click box solution as a surprise part of their update, but wanted to suggest this solution just in case they had never thought of it.

The basically the bigger you set the UI scale the bigger an area you would be able to click rather than having some territories with almost no where to click at all as is now. This is an accessibility issue that in its current form can exclude some users from play.

Dice & Troop Ideas

/risk_idea Hi! I'm a huge OSRS fan, and for the last few weeks one thing I keep thinking is Risk & OSRS need to do a crossover event like among us did. Currently working on some example concepts to send in. Does anyone here have any suggestions for icons to put on the dice? I've got a few that I'll post below. I'm also going to put together some mock up examples of maps they could do, such as Taverly dungeon, God Wars dungeon, Varrock, & maybe a few other iconic places if anyone has some good suggestions. Here's what I've got so far, got much work to do but any suggestions or encouragement will go a long way! Thanks Risk takers! God bless!! (Turns out I can't post pictures in here so I guess dm me if you want to chat 🙂

Server idea - I think there should be 2 separate channels for looking for game. One that is only for posting games and the other for chatting. Cause it's annoying to post a game and see it get buried by players complaining about how bad they are at the game. Thanks.

Am I the only one who thinks that the current starting situation for players 4-6 isn't really all that fair? Like, just getting 1-3 extra troops doesn't really make up for how much territory one loses at the beginning of the game. Not only that, but if a map doesn't divide into equal territories, the last players get less, so they are alreay at a disadvantage there. I think it would be better to have something like: last players get the extra territories when it doesn't divide equally, and you get something like bonus troops + whatever you would have gotten for the amount of territories at the beginning of the game (not by the time it hits your turn, when it's gone down enough to negate the bonus on more complex maps) ... and maybe something like, you get bonus troops for the first three turns, or 2x the amount, or an amount that is based upon the amount of territories you had before any were conquered, just anything to make it more fair to the players going later in the round.... cos right now it doesn't really feel very balanced in that way, and going first is a huge advantage that isn't really made up for in the existing system.

Add additional option to streamer mode to choose between normal background behind maps and green screen color.

If the video coming from game app had green screen option for background then the things that risk streamers and YouTubers could do with game video would be much more flexible.

Silent Legend (602903467505483797)

Settings and Modifiers

Option to play a set of 2 games with the following conditions:

If applicable, Blizzard and portal positions are the exact same in both games (for unstable portals, only the initial positions need to be the same)
Turn order from the first game is reversed in the second game. (For example in a 6 player lobby, the player going 1st in the first game would be going 6th in the second game the player going 2nd in the first game would be going 5th in the second game and so on...)

This would greatly help with making modes in which turn order plays a big role more balanced across multiple games. Examples I'm thinking of that would profit from this option are:
Any 1v1 setting
Speed Blitz
6 player games with an early seat advantage

Please add 6 player zombies. We have 6 player options for every other game mode. Please add a 6th player to zombies. If it's a visual thing that the zombies take the 6th slot, I suggest maybe adding a small bar under the 6th player's slot that displays zombie info as well. And if it's a 6 slots and zombies take one slot type deal, I am willing to brainstorm how to work around this if allowed.

Battle Log Improvements

Let battle log have expandable containers (by round, player, phase) - so you can click round 2, it shows a list of each players 'top level actions', click a player to show phases or raw moves made. This would mean as you move to round 5, all of round 4s actions are collapsed into round 4 section
Include more detailed data in battle log, such as: manual roll vs blitz, if using slider, how many troops drafted/fortified to which territories - this would let players easily identify errors (drafts 5, but places 10, for example)

Existing Gameplay Changes

When using auto setup, hard cap stack size.

IE: in a 6p game where everyone starts with 10 territories you can’t spawn with anything larger than like a 4 or 5.

This would be particularly impactful on turn 1 of zombies when everyone gets the initial infection. Somebody can lose a 7 stack turn 1 while another person only loses a 1. Creates huge troop advantage from turn 1 and unleashes a mega stack of zombies to the board turn 2. If we know nobody spawns with a stack bigger than 5, we also know zombies have no bigger than a 9 stack turn 2 so you can better predict how to optimally play your first turn. This would increase the skill of zombie games significantly and reduce luck

New Map Ideas

How about a map based on the anatomy of the human body? Like territories could be organs and bones and stuff, and continents could be like limbs, upper/lower torso, head, etc. It could even present a special opportunity for special nested continents like the brain or the heart or other major organs maybe?

Battle Log replay videos! If anyone has played competitive Pokemon you can save videos of your battles and it basically just uses the battle log to recreate the battle (but streamlined and fast). I think that would be cool with Risk! So if you played a really funny game you could save the video and share with friends or post online etc. Modelling it after the way Pokemon does it would be great, bc of the way that it uses the log to create the video so it's not slow and clunky, it moves smoothly.

Dice Functionality

Add preset buttons for sliders (place above sliders).

Attack troop slider: 2 (for 2 dice slider), 3 and 100% (minimal troops needed for 100% win, grey out when calculation not possible due to too many troops). Min and max can be easily selected here.

Troop movement and deployment slider: Min, 25%, 50%, 75% and Max. This will help scrolling to the desired amount more quickly, which is a pain once troops become plenty.

Both suggestions will mitigate mobile disadvantages and speed up game play in general.
