This would make sniping way too easy. I would agree with this feature for any automatch setup tho.

Tbh sniping is easy enough already no? What info does this obscure that would make you prevent getting sniped? All from the same country? That's just a few clicks away to change to any country in the world...

How?

Camouflage mode as I described in an earlier risk idea… All players would have their identities completely obscured in the lobby and game (example: the red player would actually be named “red player”). Also all players would be assigned neutral or random avatars so you wouldn’t even be able to tell who had premium etc.

This suggestion was just about how the revelation of player’s identities after the game could be a cool new feature.

I understand that. But right now you can recognize people when you host and kick them. As long as you know someones settings, you will be able to find them. As an extreme example we can use pete. He has to switch account, settings and avatar for every game to avoid snipers, and even then it's not enough sometimes. Now a sniper can do the same, but the more effort it takes the fewer people will do it. Your idea in the current lobby system would be pretty bad.

Maybe make it not a "red player" but a random name from risk name generator, that would change every time you join a lobby

same as color, flag, avatar

I like the color name, because that feature is already in the game and less likely to break. (If you report someone for their name it chages to red etc.)
