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?

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)
