Well I'm going to try cranking the starting tech all the way.

Maybe the AI will nuke me. I havent seen that yet.
That might change things abit.

In the last game I played I was launching attacks from my home continent
against two others using the amphibious ships.
Neither AI sent anything to stop me from doing that,I had unfettered control of the entire sea lane, without so much as a destroyer.

Agree,...the AI is very bad. Much worse than most games I have played.
Needs some SERIOUS work.

Psst... Come here.

Don't ask me how I know, but I have heard rumors that the AI is being looked at very closely...

Don't tell anyone, okay?

I think the game would benefit with a play style closer to Empire Deluxe Enhanced.

There are also updated AI files that can be found in Yahoo groups.

At first glance, I threw off the comments about disabling the Neutral Countries.

But after playing again today (this one patched) I feel it would be far more dynamic to disable the Neutrals when playing against AI alone. When playing against a human the Neutral is an fitting border and hurdle to over come. But it hobbles the AI.

The AI doesn't lookup to see the bowling ball coming down the lane. Everyone knows than in Risk games, everyone must team up to take down the gorrilla in the room.
