Troops positioning by the AI is way too long

[south ore]

Why doesn’t the AI play right away during the troops positioning phase (in manual or semi-auto mode) but waits until the very end of the turn ?

It wasn’t the case before.
Now it makes it almost impossible to play since it take ages to wait until the end of every turn of the AI.

And it always happens because a player leaves the game right at the start.

Can developers fix this?

Thanks for bringing this up, we're aware of this on our end. This will be fixed in our next update to come out soon.

I believe SMG is currently not using any AI in the game. They may use some in their development process. The bots are scripted and they may qualify as artificial idiocy but not artificial intelligence.

If I’m wrong and they are self replicating or self modifying algorithms then they have not been playing risk very long or someone really messed up with the learning environment they were placed in.

Perhaps while placement is taking place limit time to 10 seconds before bot intervention, and if bot intervention occurs on 3 consecutive turns toss the player with bot takeover, perhaps announcing a coup d'état in game?

Train an LLM to play against itself in trillions of games? A DGX Spark cluster mebbe?

[silk verge]

A dumb thing is when the bot has only 1 territory border and still place multiple times in descending amount. For example 15 troops and place like +9, +4, then +2. Why not just place all at once?

Its funny that SMG probably bans players for less than what their bots are doing.
