Hey kcbob,I use to love risk! But recently, I played a game with a bunch of folks and one guy took over the entire board in one turn! I still don't know if it was his rules or the real rules! Going back to Bombers, I've never been a big fan of the beast, but mixed military units have a place in Civ war. Still, the only unit that needs be built to have a chance to wipe out an entire world in one turn is the howitzer. Maybe we should start an OTC or One Turn Challenge. You'd have to fight a completely defensive war until the ONE MEAN TURN.... Obviously I've had too much fun with OCC. Au |

Did someone mention RISK!Back, in another life, I used to play three board/partner Risk. You were allowed one diplomatic note to your partner each turn. Oh the arguments it all caused. Happy days! ---------- Scouse Git (2) |

But when i played the real one my dad would whoop my butt.... of course that was a few years ago and i wasn't even a teenager yet.... maybe i can take him now....  ------------------

Risk was GOOD!
With 4 or more players, one game could last the whole night. Ahhhh. Guessing the others' game assignments. Building temporary alliances to stop them. Drinking buckets of beer.
Australia was too powerful, though. I remember we had a house rule, a hand drawn line on the map directly from Japan to Oz. Better game play. And almost historically correct, too.C. |

Just one last word on Blitzkrieg, for Aurelius' benefit.
The website is www.wargamer.com/toaw, and the Blitzkrieg scenario was revised last month. |

my previous strategy, before when I could not even beat Prince, was to jump to Fundy ASAP, build fanatics in all my cities, and cover the map with them.. well I didn't really cover every square.. but I tried. many times I would seige a city, with every square except the city one, saturated with 3 or 4 units. But the city took a LONG time to go down it seemed.. and it took many times 100s or fanatics to take one city.. so that is why I never beat Prince with this strategy. Sigh. This was also before I somehow got a bug that now makes it so I can get NO science in Fundy. Before I could do just as well as democracy with that extra trade bonus. |

i loved risk the board game although the comp version sucked eggs....its no surprise that strat board games and comp game players have played the same things... best over beer and joints.... man is diplomacy fun... anyone play castle risk??? A friend of mine created a game using risk pieces with a bit of D&D and a board... which he drew a new map with swamp jungle mountain etc.... with orcs, elves , dwarves , etc.... a blast .... we play 4 times a year and it goes for ever and we all end up passing out or such.... what a blast ------------------
I am a civ addict. ARE U 2??????

Prince War,I've played a couple civ mods that involved D&D type units...some of the Barbarian Monsters were so scary that I built City Walls in a turn. I think the game was toyed with that one needed city walls to have a chance too. Your Castle Risk sounds like a blast--though my mind is addled enough to forego the joint. You would have liked the Grandmother of all wars, 14 player diplomacy--too bad there weren't a few Chinese Worms and Smaug drawn on the sheet. AU--never did get to see what the Stealth monster looked like as I think I got to AC post haste. |
