For those who don’t know, Risk is a board game produced by Hasboro. The primary object of the game is "world domination," or "to occupy every territory on the board and in so doing, eliminate all other players." Players control armies with which they attempt to capture territories from other players, with results determined by dice rolls.

PsychoMarauder’s Risk Next Gen is a wonderfully implemented Warcraft III version of the classic game. The basic premise of the game still remains: attempt to conquer the world. But now, you must attempt to do so in a faster-paced game.

Plenty of game principals from the original board game are utilized for the foundation of the map. Players must leave at least one soldier in each territory in order to occupy it. Players get an allotted amount of reinforcement bonuses based on the number of territories they hold. The bonus is larger when a player owns a continent.

However, PsychoMarauder adds a plethora of extra features that make the game infinitely more interesting. There are different types of units that can be trained with the reinforcement resources that can diversify the effectiveness of your army. Instead of only continental bonuses, there are also now regional bonuses, so that smaller sections of continents can be strategically captured for greater effect. There is also a variety of game options that can allow for different types of strategic gameplay; such options include full naval travel and landing, port-port travel only, and bridge crossings. The game can when with different victory conditions, such as economic victory or control victory, preventing games from being drawn out past the “winning point.”

As towards general functionality, the game performed seamlessly for me.

Overall, Risk New Gen is a fun map to play with friends and any fans of the original Risk should give this version a shot.

Final Rating: 5/5 and significant push for approval.

Great game, my only suggestion would be more diverse units, or a way to upgrade units (as when we were playing last night once two people were clear super powers it became a stale mate)

Great game. One thing is that, why don't you change those units to soldiers of the new generation, and those barracks to the real army barracks. It would be more fun.

Hey guys sorry I forgot I posted this here. This version has been slightly neglected and I'll need to make some adjustments to get it up to speed like the FFA/1v1 version is.

However it is great to come back to such positive reviews, made my day.

KGG I know you dislike the terrain, and I also dislike it in some ways, but any suggestions on how to fix? I've released versions where there is a tactical terrain height advantage for units and the mountains play a role. But how could the terrain be better?
From an accuracy stance I shied away from that for gameplay purposes.


Hellraider, stalemates can occur in ffa when people are afraid to make a move. I don't see how this is possible in 1v1 or team games because those become incredibly fast paced the better you become at the game and based on the skill level of your opponents. In case of a transport game stalemate, try -votess, ship games tend to have less waiting periods.

I think someone commented on the games ending rather quickly; I can only say this. A 8+ ffa game will be far more balanced and players tend to keep a balance of powers. 1v1 and teams might as well be a different game, it depends completely on the skill level of everyone in the game and their playstyle.

There are MANY tricks in this map that players do not know and some never learn even at the pro level. In my opinion there is a high skillcap to this game and the rankings help add to that. Hope everyone enjoys playing.

It was truly a pleasure reviewing this map, and Im glad my review could be used to hasten the approval of this gem. I believe I made a comment on the game ending in different ways and quicker, but I marked it down as a positive note, as it prevented long drawn out, war-of-attrition games that ruin replayability.

Hey, my friends were once again playing this game and at least once during each round one of us accidentally tapped the scrolling wheel on our mice and were forced to zoom in without being able to zoom out again. I was wondering if there is a command to reset back to the game's starting zoom (or perhaps a command to lock the zoom at the start).

 

[PsycoMarauder]

Yeah click on your sheep theres about 100 different camera combos in this version. Or just type -far. The current version of risk next gen also supports team play but does not fill slots. IT is otherwise more updated though.

 

[Hell_Raider]

Awesome thanks

Some suggestions would be to merge this with your other map for a game mode because it uses the same terrain. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps-564/risk-next-gen-3-4b-154733/

Maybe add some more units? Some spells like cannon fire or artillery using a projectile system maybe? We got a few here at hive.

I can't review this because I haven't played in a team, just offering some suggestions.
