Yeah it's really hard to know if you were unlucky or the dice are not random enough.

Just to be safe, I replaced the default random number generator with a better one.

Maybe some day I would add a no-luck option, but it's not something I want to build right now.

I'm sorry to dissapoint you guys (except for Spartacus who will love it) but I just lowered the maximum to 5 games.

Bandwith and diskspace use is growing exponentially, and I need to buy time to figure out a better webhosting solution without closing the door to new players.

Don't worry, I'll find ...

I set Allow Double Turns = No for all games. For technical reasons it will take effect only 2 rounds after I made the change (very earlier Monday a.m.)

I think you mean "If set to No, players will not be able to take back-to-back turns when they trigger a new round."

Yeah, I meant that

I just finished 2 improvements that are worthy of an announcement.

First, I got rid of the 180 minute "Turn Lag" and replaced it with a game option Allow Double Turns (Yes/No). If set to No, players will not be able to take back-to-back turns when they trigger a new round.

Thanks to Ran Taro ...

You're right, turn delay can be a game option.

I also find Ran Taro's idea very interesting. Unlike turn delay, it will allow for quick rounds under 180 minutes.

So the rule can be "if you are the last to play in a round, you cannot be the first to play in the next round" and I can add a game ...

I don't have any t-shirts. How about 102 points?

Congrats, rabin!

Here's the deal with turn delay: when the last player takes his turn, a new round begins and he/she can immediately take a second turn . You can take advantage of the double-turn to conquer a continent and earn the bonus before anyone has a chance to bust you. or take out a weak opponent before he ...

I hear you guys. It's especially a problem when something like 20% of men are colour-blind (and something tells me that most risk fans are men)

So I switched up the colours. Do you think they are now easy enough to distinguish?

As for bigger maps, The maps now are as big as possible to fit on a ...

I agree too. What was I thinking?
I'll fix it tonite.

Done. But dont hold your breath waiting for request #2

*Maybe* I would put graphical dice, though.

We all start off with a score of 1000. At the end of each game, the winner takes points away from each loser. The points to be awarded is calculated as (loser's score / winner's score ) * 20.

So second place, last place and people who surrender all lose points to the winner. It's all or nothing.

it is your turn now!
you can tell by the green light next to your name.

Finally :P

After spending 6 months developing this game, it's now ready for prime time. There may be some imperfections (and believe me, there is still plenty of room for improvement) but I need to see people playing already. Thanks to all who helped out with everything from graphics and testing ...
