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.

SPACEPORT SIGMA

Territories: 96
In space no one can hear you scream... Because you rolled a one.

COMMAND BASE C1X

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!

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.

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.
