New maps, country flags and badges - 2.7 is released!
[h2]NEW MAP PACK![/h2]
(Giggity! No one actually requested “Grip of the North” it’s a mash together of Sandinania and a few other countries)
One of the most-requested RISK maps ever: Turkey!
Looks like Team Boring won. It’s Australia the right way up. Don’t worry we’ll offer a “flipped/down under” version soon after for no extra cost:
And, finally your chance to be BIG IN JAPAN:
[h2]COUNTRY FLAGS & LEADERBOARDS![/h2]
You’re assigned a country based on your IP, but this can be changed in the app settings because maybe you’re an English-person living in Australia (there’s many! But you still want to represent the UK) Or like my previous example you just want to be #1 from Chad. Maybe your name is Chad (i’m sorry) and you think it’ll be really meta to also be from Chad.
[h2]FAIR PLAY![/h2]
[h2]OTHER IMPROVEMENTS![/h2]
[h2]MAP POLISH & FIXES[/h2]
That’s polishing as in “making better” not Polish as in Poland which is officially the Republic of Poland, a country located in Central Europe. Divided into 16 administrative subdivisions, covering an area of 312,696 square kilometres, and has a largely temperate seasonal climate.

[h3]Phew![/h3]
Well that’s quite an update. We have a LOT more coming that isn't ready yet so this isn't everything we’ve been working on. Some will drop in 2020 but other larger changes in 2021. As always if you have suggestions on how to make the game better drop into the Discord https://discord.gg/risk
And if you thought my dad jokes were funny thumbs up this post!

[h2]COUNTRY FLAGS & LEADERBOARDS![/h2]
- Time to represent your country on the leaderboards. Or totally skew the stats and pick a random country like Chad to represent. Not saying Chad’s a bad place, just we don't have any players from Chad, so you’ll be like the #1 player from Chad if you choose it.
- The top countries will be ranked on http://hasbrorisk.com/
- Player avatars on in-app leaderboards also now link to their profiles.
- You can also tap avatars in your friends list to view their profiles. So tap your friends!

[h2]FAIR PLAY![/h2]
- New detection (and penalties) for players using unfair stalling tactics to delay winning by accumulating troops to force their opponent to quit. (WHY do people do this?! Seriously! Isn’t the world already in such bad shape that we don't need people stalling for no reason? If this happens to you and we don't detect it please report these people so we can penalise them.
- Additional detection and automated warnings for friends playing together in ranked Global Domination matches. Just don't do it.
- If a ranked 1v1 game is determined to be “between friends”, it will be converted to unranked.
- We’ve also added a minimum Single Player win requirement to unlock the ranked Global Domination mode. Scenarios will not count towards this total. This will reduce people using “burner” accounts.
[h2]OTHER IMPROVEMENTS![/h2]
- Check your friends list to now see when they were last online. If it’s been a while please hit them up on other channels to say “hey! Let’s play RISK!”
- To get you fired up for battle we finally polished-up the loading sequence.
- Talking of polish, we’ve made several improvements to the troops and dice rendering. This is just stage one of several improvements planned this year.
- Copy button added to GAME ID in the Play Friends lobby for the game host.
- Social avatars removed. (There is a pinned news for that)
- Multiple memory improvements for improved stability and performance. At least 5 more HP!

That’s polishing as in “making better” not Polish as in Poland which is officially the Republic of Poland, a country located in Central Europe. Divided into 16 administrative subdivisions, covering an area of 312,696 square kilometres, and has a largely temperate seasonal climate.
Minor:
- Asia 1800s visual clean-up of the short bridges in the bottom of the map
- Africa: minor visual clean-up of outlines
- Russia 2010: Fixed z-fighting on bridge points. Damn Zs always fighting. We warned them and now they are banned from fighting at all.
- Moscow [Advanced]: Fixed weird line on Territory Vostochny. “Weird” as in ‘OK I thought I left my keys on the couch but they ended up in my shoes?!’ weird and not ‘my neighbor is doing weight training at 4am everyday in the garage while coaching himself in 3rd person’ weird. Because that’s really weird and the police wont do anything about it even though it wakes me up every morning. I might have to move.
Important
- Pangaea: fixed missing connection between Peru and Argentina below is after image. Peru swiped right so now they are connected!
- Central America Removed incorrect connection between Massachusetts and Pennsylvania territories. Mass blocked Pennsylvania and wont return texts and hasn’t felt this good for a while. Good for you Mass for moving on.
- Also added a missing dashed connection line between Cuba and Haiti
[h2]BUG FIXES[/h2]
- Fix for missing dice visual and soft lock on replay after setting the device to manual roll.
- Fix for Error 778 is triggered upon attempting to play “Tutorial 3: Crush Rome!”
- Fix when clicking on a territory in the attack phase does not zoom in to include connections that are far away
- Fix for Error 698 when attempting to start scenarios
- Fix for when eliminated player Avatar is not greyed out for all players in Multiplayer games
- Fix for when selecting help tooltip(?) during the game causes soft lock.
- Multiple checks to prevent broken game state with unclaimed territories or unresponsive AI in multiplayer games
