Risk Community Bulletin #3
ATTENTION GENERALS!
Sit down, shuttle up, and ready that scroll wheel - you’re in for a jam-packed bulletin! Next month we’ll be seeing the arrival of our 3.2 update which includes new maps, dice, troops, avatars, and bug fixes.
So prepare yourselves as this update as we go behind the scenes and out of this world.
UI DESIGN
It’s been long overdue, but for the first time in four years we are introducing a new theme to RISK Global Domination.
Our new Sci-fi theme brings visual updates to Fog of War, territory connection lines, holographic background, and new attack/fortify arrows.
MAPS
Look to the stars and take your global conquest to the galaxy with 4 new maps!
Without spoiling too much, here are a few sneak peeks on how our new Space Port Sigma map came to life.
DICE
Good news everyone! We’ve figured out a way to roll dice in zero-gravity.
See how we go from concept:
To first modeling pass:
To final design:
AVATARS
New theme who dis? Not one, not two, but FOUR SCI-FI AVATARS will feature in our new update 3.2. We also have a new samurai avatar paying homage to the legendary Tomoe Gozen a onna-musha who appeared in 14th century Japanese literature. Tomoe was undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with as she was appointed as leading commander in the Genpei War.
“she was a warrior worth a thousand, ready to confront a demon or a god, mounted or on foot. “
-The Tale of the Heike

- Zombies are weak, they lose on a tie when you attack them, and they only have two dice to attack with (attacking a zombies territory is safer than attacking a humans).
- Don’t focus entirely on zombies as you will leave yourself exposed to the other human opponents.
- Zombies will take over a random territory if they are eliminated in the previous round
- You need to spread out troops to minimise the damage that zombie takeover does.
- In ranked games, note that humans are still the real enemy, eliminating them is more important than eliminating zombies - if you lose to zombies but eliminate all humans you will not be penalised for being 2nd to them
