Attention generals!

Some players have asked us how the dice rolling odds are calculated for RISK computer players.

Reminder;
RISK does not modify dice rolling odds in favour of computer players in any of the difficulty settings.
RISK does not modify dice rolling odds in favour of higher-ranked players.



More details about dice rolls can be found here:

Greetings Generals and welcome to Community Bulletin #16. You may have noticed a space theme throughout this bulletin. Well, that’s because our upcoming map pack is out of this world!

There’s so much to discuss in this bulletin:

• What’s coming with update 3.11 (hint: a brand new map pack!)
  
• What’s in store for RISK in 2023 Q2.
  
• The top players of the season so far
  
• And more community content!

With update 3.11 releasing very soon, here’s a breakdown of what you can expect to see in the weeks following the update.

4 new maps to play (available shortly after update 3.11 is available)
UI changes for a better multiplayer experience
General improvements and bug fixes

Space Battle Map Pack

The community has shown lots of love towards our sci-fi map packs, so this time we’re taking our conquest to the stars. This highly requested space inspired map pack includes four intergalactic maps. Get ready to launch your battles into space for universal domination.

This map pack also features box art from artist Sulamoon. Check out her portfolio here: https://sulamoon.com/

Digital Tabletop Fest

RISK was featured as part of Digital Tabletop Fest: Blood & Dice, which took place on Steam. We love seeing more people playing and celebrating RISK!



Q2 Roadmap

With one quarter behind us and three more to go this year, here’s what’s in store for RISK in 2023 Q2.

We have:

• 2 seasons
  
• 2 updates
  
• And some fresh new content

Please note this roadmap is subject to changes.



Our team will also be working hard on our multiplayer engine overhaul over the coming months, which we hope to release later in the year. This is a huge update for RISK and will help us resolve connection issues and cheating to provide a better multiplayer experience for the whole RISK community. This update will give us the opportunity to deliver more new game modes and modifiers beyond 2023 including secret missions, spectating, different multiplayer options and more!

Greetings Generals!

April is here and it’s time to reveal RISK’s most popular customizations of March 2023!

We will be showing:

• Your 5 favorite Avatars
  
• Your 5 favorite Troops
  
• Your 10 favorite Dice

Avatars:
Let’s start with your top 5 favorite Avatars!

1. Arch Wizard Trigon
   
2. Sgt. Swivels
   
3. Xharles The 4th
   
4. Commander Seagrog
   
5. Capt. Mac Erana

At the top spot for the second month in a row is our very own Arch Wizard Trigon, and replacing major Spark is Capt. Mac Erana (if you’re unfamiliar with the names, he’s the pirate in the middle!).

Seems like pirates are becoming popular in March!



Troops:
Ready up your army, here are the top 5 troops of March 2023.

1. Business Yeti
   
2. Dino - Cavalry
   
3. Roman Centurion
   
4. Cix-X
   
5. Elf Paladin

Business Yeti was your favorite troop of the month! This time we have a new troop in the top 5! The Elf Paladin has replaced the Dark Elf Spy as the 5th most popular troop in March. At least we know the Generals like elves!

What’s your go to RISK troop?



Dice:
These are the top 10 most popular dice of March 2023.

Although most of the top 10 changed from last month, the Elven Relic is still sitting comfortably at #1!

Looks like the elves crafted a popular dice!



What’s your favorite Avatar, Dice and Troop combination? Let us know!

Over and out.
