Statistics

Passive and rich: You get lucky if you are ignored without worthy challengers the whole game.
Super Aggressive: People will hate you and triple, quad, penta team you to death. DEATH!
Diplomatic: Your art of diplomacy will catch up on you late game. Expect a friend to backstab you.

Hopefully some of you play FFA risk and find this funny

These games take anywhere from 20 minutes to 5 hours. Average, 1 1/2 hours. Basically, the point is to have the most land by participating (notice how I did not say fighting) in a global war, in different ways.

taking advantage of those being attacked while not over exerting your fighting force should someone see you as a threat, risk in warcraft is a game of oppurtunists

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

True. But it could be the end of you in one quick swoop if you do that.

It is called risk isn't it. It is as much about tactics as it is about luck. Personally I try to secure some region/corner and expand from there. Easier to defend if I control the paths to my domain.

 

[slayerby]

it is very annoying being backstabbed while bakstabbing but that why i do what veljkom does there and make sure that my back is secure enough to backstab others

I learned the hard way not to trust players you just met. Wasn't risk but was European Wars. I was French (easy to play unless someone picks Spain) and made alliance with one player (forgot nation) and he proceeded to make fortifications in my lands and when he was done he unallayed me and his towers destroyed me and occupied my towns.

On the other hand I managed once to befriend random guy and then we always would have alliance. Public or hidden depending of other players, as it is good idea to go undercover. Treacherous and deceitful to be sure but it is war gentlemen. Also that is why playing with strangers Risk/Diplomatic maps is more fun as when you play with people you know alliances tend to be predictable (at least that's how my testing on team project goes).

 

[slayerby]

me and my cousin would do that (kind of) we would get are own alliances and fight each other, then if our allies betrayed one of us, we would team them. me and my cousin always had more fun fighting each other though cause skill wise me and him were better then most we played

Eww teamer O_O

Being alone and growing too powerful on your own tends to make others gang up on you.

Tends to make a game boring, aswell

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

If anyone here have played any devo map frequently, you gotta love those standoffs. My record is 45 minutes of no major war. Diplomacy at it's finest!

 

[slayerby]

lol if you send your entire army to save your ally then he jabs your back i think a teaming is warranted, plus its not much of a team because when that does happen everyone else attacks us and it ends up like 2 v 6 or more

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

I'm the one who does that to others, even in real life games XD

 

[VeljkoM]

Good will make notes if we ever face each other.

 

[slayerby]

be prepared XD

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Some guy raged at me for coordinating with someone in an FFA middle earth risk :O
New picture meme

 

[VeljkoM]

And thus his great, honorable and proud nation (enter here) fell. Moral of the story kids in war there are no rules. Be prepared!

 

[slayerby]
