RISK 3.2 SCI-FI Update

To celebrate this update we also want to share the out-of-this-world artwork created by Dan Dussault for our Sci-fi map pack. Check out his work, give him a follow.



This update features our Sci-fi Maps, our first visual theme update since Pirates about 4 yaaaaars ago (sorry, bad dad joke). With a new holographic look, glowing connection lines, glitchy fog of war effects, and new fortify/attack arrows, this new update is anything but a waste of space.



The future will be fought with dice controlled by robots on distant planets. This pack also includes exclusive new map visuals.


[h2][REDACTED][/h2]


Continent: 11
Territories: 47


This battle is taking place on a classified planetoid that Earth doesn't even know exists yet. Win and keep it that way!

[h2]SPACEPORT SIGMA[/h2]


Continent: 10
Territories: 96


In space no one can hear you scream... Because you rolled a one.

[h2]LUNAR MINING FACILITY[/h2]


Continents: 10
Territories: 47


As Earth battles for control over the Helium-3 supplies the once peaceful mining facilities are turning into battlefields.

[h2]COMMAND BASE C1X[/h2]


Continent: 11
Territories: 100


We cannot tell you how bad it will be for Earth if this command base falls into enemy hands... Does the enemy even have ‘hands’?







Available mid August as long as you have the v3.2 installed. This pack includes the most community-requested larger versions of our maps. Perfect those who prefer a longer game and deeper strategy.
Check out the spectacular artwork for the map pack designed by Harry Heath.



[h2]BRAZIL ADVANCED[/h2]


Continent: 8
Territories: 56


Brazil and neighbors are used to battling about football but now you can settle it once and for all in this RISK map.



[h2]CANADA ADVANCED[/h2]


Continent: 13
Territories: 91


Advanced enough, eh?



[h2]EUROPE ADVANCED[/h2]


Continent: 14
Territories: 83


The most requested advanced map now let’s you take over Europe and surrounding areas in more detail.


[h2]RUSSIA 2010 ADVANCED[/h2]


Continent: 7
Territories: 61


In Russia, dice roll you!





We’ve pretty much got every theme covered in v3.3: ancient, medieval, futuristic--even edible! We’ll also be rolling out (strike #2 dad joke) country flag dice to show your pride over the next few weeks. Feel free to sing your national anthem as you play. We don't have voice chat so it won’t annoy anyone.





[h2]UI[/h2]
We’re always striving to improve the core RISK experience. In v3.2 we focused on community feedback on the attack and fortify arrows, making them more legible and improving the animation.

[h2]TIMEOUT[/h2]
We’ve also added a timeout limit to players who dropout from online matches to counter cheating and overall fairness.



We’ve received a lot of feedback for more female characters so we’re adding more troops and avatars:

Avatar: General Uni Bio: An eminent Intergalactic General, Uni is known for their keen sight and exceptional piloting skills.

Avatar: Tomoe Gozen Bio: Inspired by the infamous samurai warrior of the same name. Thousands feared her, many more followed her into battle.

Troop: Onna-musha Bio: Two blades are better than one.
And here’s a sneak peek of another female avatar we’re working on for v3.3





[h2]Major Fix [/h2]

All players can now see who goes offline in Global Domination matches.
There was a bug where only the game host would correctly see who was offline. The bug gave the false appearance (to the other players) that anyone who was offline was repeatedly dropping out and rejoining in an unfair manner.

+ Multiple minor fixes and improvements.

[h2]MAP CHANGE LOG[/h2]

Pangea
Added missing connection between UK and Italy

Italy
Western and Eastern Austria name overlap fix.

Mont Saint-Michel
Added a hyphen to the continent “Mont Saint-Michel”

Machu Picchu
Improve connection visibility between “City Gate” and “Wheat”

Atlantis
Improved visual connections for bridges


[h2]MORE TO COME[/h2]


Don’t forget the official community run Discord is also the place to chat with all the other RISK fans like you, well maybe not exactly like you as you’re special.


Phew! What an update! This is a significant change which allows us more flexibility and scope to enhance the game.

Let us know in the comments what you think of this update and if you have any dice ideas post away. We’re in production on a lot of new ones now.
