Community Bulletin #7
ATTENTION RISK GENERALS!
Here’s a little November update, as a treat. Now that we’re nearing the end of the year you’re probably wondering what we’re working on. Well what I can tell you is we do have a couple of updates before the year is over and I come bearing sneak peeks!
RISK Generals today we’ve got some previews as to what’s coming for our 3.4 update later on in the month. We’ll be focusing a lot more on UX/UI upgrades to improve first time user experiences. But don’t fret we have a lot more customisations due before the year is out!
UX Updates
No more confusing the NEXT and SKIP button, we’ve changed the phase indicator button to tell it like it is
Need help forming a strategy? We have a new AI advisor for Single Player games that are powered by our AI characters, giving contextual advice based on the phase you are currently in.
There are so much more but they’ll be in the release notes later in the month!
What’s after v3.4?
Too Soon? Chill out! At least we’re waiting til December's release!
Here’s some non-festive content that’s also coming in 3.5
We’ve got so much more that we want to share for v3.5, rumour has it there may be a new map pack 👀 Maybe next community bulletin we’ll show a quick glimpse.

RISK Community Bulletin #4
Ground control to RISK Generals! We hope you’re enjoying the Sci-Fi update so far, with this update we have not only brought new customisations but also a whole new look and feel to RISK.
Have you saved the Command Base C1X from total alien annihilation, or taken control of the Lunar Mining Facility, or perhaps conquered Spaceport Sigma, or maybe you have exterminated your enemies on [REDACTED]?
Don’t think this is all we have in store for you this month, we’ve doubled down and a whole new map pack is heading your way next week!
PREMIUM CROWN
With the introduction of new frames since the shop update in 3.1, we felt like our dear Premium generals needed an upgrade from their premium wreath. No shade if you still enjoy flexing your wreath we just wanted to give you something just a “teensy bit” more flashy. In addition to the wreath, Premium members who have upgraded to 3.2 should automatically receive the new Premium Crown frame. For the players who wish to be as subtle as a bus regarding their premium... ness?
ADVANCED MAP PACK
Risk generals set your starships back to Earth because on the 19th of August 2021 our long-awaited advanced map pack is set to go live! Featuring more in-depth maps of Europe, Brazil, Russia 2010, and Canada, eh?
NEW DICE CONCEPTS
But what’s new after advanced? Well, we’re excited to announce we’ve been working with multiple artists to bring you some exciting new Dice concepts.
New ramen dice to shoyu the way to victory!
C:\>cd RISK C:\RISK> RISK.EXE
Pumpkin dice for the players that believe in spooky season every day of the year.
And finally some super-secret concept sketches of dice coming your way soon. 👀👀
Last chance to sign up for the RISK Discord’s FFA tournament! Entries close 15th of August with the first round starting on the 16th of August. The maps for each round have also been decided, thanks to the community votes. [table noborder="1"] [tr] [td]Round 1 World Conquest [/td] [td][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Round 2 Canada [/td] [td][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Round 3 Mont Saint-Michel [/td] [td][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Round 4 Modern Spain [/td] [td][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Round 5 Mall of the Dead [/td] [td][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Round 6 Arkeanos [/td] [td][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Round 7 Earth 2209 A.D.[/td] [td][/td] [/tr] [/table]
We often receive questions from our community about what happens to complaints submitted during a game using the report feature (above) for cheating, unfair or inappropriate behaviour. Reported players are flagged and actively monitored for 30 days using our automated tools. We also provide a direct message in-app to inform reporters whether any action is taken against the player they reported.
If you have reported a player using the in-game reporting feature (or they have reported you) neither of you will be able to view a game hosted by the other that is in the available games to join list in Global Domination.
On Manual placement - claim a continent’s border (either just inside or outside of an entrance)
On Auto placement - if you start first, you can place your capital anywhere and add all troops to it during the draft phase. If you start later, be sure to place on one of the top 3 troop locations
Your focus isn’t defeating every player or capturing every territory. Your new goal is to capture all enemy capitals to win the game.
Rule of thumb: attack capitals with 3x troops for peace of mind, as capitals have a defending bonus.
Capitals can be much more volatile, do not recommend with True Random! (very severe luck involved)
Presenting our first ever RISK community fanart for the community bulletin. General Astrid the Pirate of our discord community has shared their amazing sci-fi fan art in the wake of our Sci-Fi release.

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.
SCI-FI MAP PACK!
The future will be fought with dice controlled by robots on distant planets. This pack also includes exclusive new map visuals.
[REDACTED]
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!
SPACEPORT SIGMA
Continent: 10 Territories: 96
In space no one can hear you scream... Because you rolled a one.
LUNAR MINING FACILITY
Continents: 10 Territories: 47
As Earth battles for control over the Helium-3 supplies the once peaceful mining facilities are turning into battlefields.
COMMAND BASE C1X
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’?
ADVANCED MAP PACK!
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.
BRAZIL ADVANCED
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.
CANADA ADVANCED
Continent: 13 Territories: 91
Advanced enough, eh?
EUROPE ADVANCED
Continent: 14 Territories: 83
The most requested advanced map now let’s you take over Europe and surrounding areas in more detail.
RUSSIA 2010 ADVANCED
Continent: 7 Territories: 61
In Russia, dice roll you!
NEW COLLECTABLES!
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.
COMMUNITY REQUESTS!
UI
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.
Old (left), new (right)
TIMEOUT
We’ve also added a timeout limit to players who dropout from online matches to counter cheating and overall fairness.
FEMALE CHARACTERS
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
GENERAL FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS
Major Fix
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.
MAP CHANGE LOG
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
MORE TO COME
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.
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 [previewyoutube="g9DFo9-9OZA;full"]
FRAMES
In this update, we have 7 new frames coming to the RISK shop and a little special somethin for our premium players soon after. So here’s a little preview of what’s to come.
[table noborder="1"] [tr] [td] X Æ B-52
This frame is made from a metal that hasn’t even been discovered yet. [/td] [td] [/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Steampunk Assembled from the parts of a time machine, racing car and soft-serve machine. [/td] [td][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Samurai X The wearer of this frame will be installed with the wisdom of the Samurai.[/td] [td][/td] [/tr] [/table]
TROOPS Generals meet the creation of one of your new GUARDIAN OF THE *REDACTED*
The Concept: Final result:
At the end of July we saw the close of our Discord 1v1 tournament. Special shout-out to our placing winners
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
Our General Showcase features RISK content creators in and out of our community discord.

Risk Community Bulletin #2
ATTENTION GENERALS!
Welcome to the second issue of the RISK community bulletin. Last month we saw the massive 3.1 update go live with new dice, frames, emotes, and most importantly the new shop! Here are a few of the new shop favourites according to you;
[table noborder="1"] [tr] [td]Since the new update, the most sought-after Dice (so far) has been the Red Digital Clock Dice! [/td] [td][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]The most frequently spammed emote is the Mika Raspberry![/td] [td][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Amongst the 10 new frames, Montu’s frame has come out on top![/td] [td][/td] [/tr] [/table]
We hope you’re enjoying the 3.1 update so far! How many of you have managed to conquer Troy yet? Since the update, we have pushed a couple of hotfixes to fix any issues that came with the update. Such as;
Shop not working on iOS
Lost Cities Maps don’t show map pack name
Blank chat during emote animation
Daily deals repeating and not refreshing
Various UI things
That’s 3.1 out of the way, let’s talk 3.2. We can’t get into the fun things like Dice and Frames just yet. HOWEVER what we can tell you is that the next update in addition to new features, we’ll be focusing on existing bugs that got put on the backburner whilst we worked on the shop.
In next month's community issue we’ll be back with a teaser of the new shiny things.
We collaborated with Tribe Gaming to present their and our community with the free limited edition Tribe Dice that was available June 2-9, were you lucky enough to grab yours?
