SMG Studio

After a week of playing I've come to the conclusion that the game is corrupt and you can't beat certain people who just want to cheat.  Such a shame because it's otherwise a great game.

 

The Hell! How can people do that... and why isn't SMG doing anything to stop it?

troubling centaur3862 & Brent Parker  is a blatant cheater clearly running two accounts used the brent parker account to attack me every turn regardless of how obvious it was that it didn't help his cause i.e. 5 troops vs 25 just to weaken me for the other account this ruins the game 

I had several cases of people having 2 - and in one case 3 (GM) - accounts, that covertly, until a point and pretty obviously at the end assisting a player to win. After loosing I became a spectator and I saw the fake one just sitting back and getting beaten by the other one.

Several things can been done for this to stop:
1) Have a validation system for those who host to be able to have the option to accept only validated players
2) Have a player "ban" system similar to the "friend" system
3) Have an in game forum
4) Have a player to player rating system
5) Have a way to report a game that you believe cheating took place
6) Have a well defined official set of  rules of what constitutes fair play and what is cheating
That is what I have come up with, I'm sure people can add more and better suggestions than these but for sure something needs to be done!!!
Personally I am disgusted to see "Experts" and "GMs" out there who can't play RISK to save their life!!!

 

The biggest problem is people using multiple accounts. I used to play a lot, I quit for probably around a year.  I played occasionally but rarely.

Anyway, I come back after not playing much for a year and because of the quarantine I've been playing a lot the past week.

I would say close to 50% of the games I've played have had someone using multiple accounts and those are just the ones I'm 100% sure on, many times I suspect a player is using multiple accounts but don't have proof.

  I just lost another one, I sat there and watched after I was eliminated....the other player was red and purple.  He kept sending red after me until I was defeated then red just sat there fortifying as purple took over the world.

It's absolutely infuriating to lose to some clown using two accounts after you've been playing for an hour or two.

I take screen shots and fill out tickets but it takes 10 minutes to do that and I have to do it all the time. 

I paid $6.99 or whatever this POS game costs and it is completely broken because of the cheaters and cheating.

Aw and sorry for my english :D peace and love to all

Dude, that wasn't anybody cheating... it was caused by SMG not being able to code an online game that can stay reliably connected lol!

They have promised to solve this issue soon - lets see if they do...

Old Smiling 12 and Stefsterk if you saw them in a game just dodge,the guys probably cheating,the one is stockpile armies on front of you and he try to weaken you when the other just expand his troops to conquer more continects.
I play with them before and they follow the classic cheating setup stefsterk has the Africa to take extra troops to weaken and block me from farm territory cards when the old smiling takes Europe North and South America and attacks only me this wasn't a match of course but a clown fiesta i try to play the game but is really ridiculous that we don't have the basic like in game reports because it's rally painfull every time to take screenshots open tickets and send emails.

If you want my opinion a 1st and good step to fight cheating is to remove RISK accounts cause i noticed that the most times i was victim of cheat the one was a real profile with real photo and name and the other was a RISK account RISK accounts is very easy to make them every time you want to cheat just clearing game cache and the game reseting when you start it so the cheater with 2 simple steps he can has every time new account to cooperate and cheat in game.
