RISK spectator mode after I'm defeated

IDEA: If I'm defeated in an online multiplayer game and there are other players remaining, a defeated player should have the option to remain as a spectator to continue watching.

Can you add the ability to invite defeated opponents who accidentally left or friends to spectate a game?

I've played RISK with friends for 50 years and while I really love winning, a big part of the pleasure is sharing the experience, win or lose. Being able to follow the remainder of the on-line game with your friends after you're eliminated would be a WONDERFUL addition. Hope you can prioritize this. Thank you.

A strange thing happened last week, I was playing a game and was down to the last three players before I got wiped out but instead of the screen disappearing it allowed me to watch the end of the game. It could of been a trial by SMG . Also one game I played two players were red which was very confusing.

Spectator mode allowed me to spot a cheat after I was eliminated from a Fog of War Game. A player called bolk42 was giving himself 85 troops in a go, but doing it on territories none of the players in the game could see. I only spotted it because I was out, and when it was bolk42's go I could see all his territories. His opponents could see him allocating the troops the game was awarding him, but not the cheating troops he was putting on the out-of-sight territories.

What a loser.

Seriously.... this forum seems like it exists just as an outlet to whine. This update was a suggestion by SMG support themselves, everyone loves the idea. Implement it!!!

I think spectating games is a great option, glad it's popular with everyone and that it will be added in future. I noticed if I don't back out of a game right away that I can see who's winning troops, so hopefully this will be implemented as planned in the near future. Also it would be nice if you could watch a friend's game as well and join as a spectator through your friends list.

It's been 3 months since ETA given was 3 months or sooner. Is there an update on the ETA? 1 more month, 6 more, next year? Thanks.

Now I have another idea, what if there was a broadcasting/replay system to the game as well? I mean there are many great moments that could be captured and some people can’t record it such as myself. Just imagine you could watch your previous battles and learn from your mistakes or even watch replays of others’ battles and learn from those, maybe even watch games that are currently happening (also thinking of live replay matches, you could also expand on that idea a bit more like adding a viewer reaction system, which that idea could be built more off of by itself.)

Implemented today - and works perfectly! 


Thanks SMG! 

I agree, would love to see the whole match

Good news, everyone!

Of course we didn't abandon this really cool idea!
We have a first version of the spectator mode ready for internal testing. Looks good so far :)

If all runs smoothly, you can expect the spectator mode in the next 4-5 weeks!
