Automatic territory selection + manual troop placement : SMG Studio

Team @ SMG

started a topic over 7 years ago

IDEA: This combines automatic and manual selection. Territories are automatically allocated by computer for all players. Players then select manually where to place troops.

This would be a third option of set-up (after manual and automatic) that can be set in the game options screen.

Ideally, everyone should be able to place their troops at the same time and we can see what everyone is doing. But if only choice is between 1 and 2, then I vote for one and would like to be able to see where people are placing their troops.

I’ve been playing this game since the earliest of times and have always wanted this in the app. Not sure why this has taken so long to implement. 100% the best way to play risk. Option 2 is a definite. I’d say make it 10 seconds and 2 troop deployment at a time. (Speeds up the deployment time with no loss of strategy)

Definitely this. I would like to see what players have been allocated which territories, but think it would be best if the placement was invisible to the other players. That way, there's an element of strategy and a little luck in your choice of placement. If you're sharing Australia with one or two other players, do you take a chance on putting a big army there, or do you avoid the inevitable melee that will ensue if everyone makes that choice - or do you place your troops slightly scattered about, but with a focus on a preferred continent, so you can swoop in once the dust has settled. Seems like a fun option.

I like option 1. Options 2 is good if you can make edits and move your troops around during the 60 seconds. Also if you can see where your Opponents are placing troops.
