Risk CaseRisk is a board game with realistic battles. It is about conquering the whole world. There are certain strategies you must learn to get world domination. I used strategies to help me claim territories, attack new territories, defend territories, and reinforce territories. Learning your opponents weakness is good. Also, learning your opponents strategies could be helpful. In Risk, strategies will guide you to success.
To begin with, there are many strategies to claim territories. The best way I claimed a territory is to find a continent where I barely need to defend one of my territories. The best continent to choose is Australia. If somebody claimed Australia already then claim South America. Australia is the best continent to claim because it only has one territory to defend and one entry point. The only entry point to Australia is from Siam (Asia) to Indonesia (Australia). If I conquered the rest of Europe I would probably lose because there are many continents surrounding me. There are also many strategies to attack new territories. Luck plays a role in attacking someone when rolling a dice. Try to attack and conquer one continent at a time. Strategies are important in Risk.
In addition, there are many strategies to defend territories. The best way I defended my territory is to just make my opponents defeat another opponent so they wont attack me. In other words, I made sure I wasnt the person who was winning. When one of my opponents were winning, I would tell my other opponents to try to defeat that opponent because that person was about to conquer the whole map. While they were defeating him, I would start attacking everybody and they wouldnt care and they would still try to defeat the opponent who is winning the most. For example, one of my opponents were winning and he had taken all of Asia and Ukraine, Northern Europe, Western Europe, Great Britain, and Iceland. I told my opponents he was winning. They believed
The strategy to keep winning is the same. You are constantly trying to find people who are stronger so when you finally reach a certain point of the map, you want to start attacking them. There are others that I saw in Korea that I did not care about and they are all weak opponents and you don’t want to attack all of them. This is also how I learned it in Korea. It seems even if you kill all the weak opponents that you still still want to attack them and make a comeback but you still need to attack other opponents so that they stop attacking you as you approach. If you reach the ‘one’ which is in front of you, you should just focus on attacking the ones you didn’t kill. Also in Korea, the last person to defeat a weak opponent was the person who will be next to whom you won’t be able to kill, so you should aim for the person whose strength you’ll be so the other person will be able to defeat it as well.
I learned my “How to Be Good”, it was similar to that, as long as you do not kill everyone you can still fight against them. Even though you still have a “special ability” that you have to show your opponents how to fight, you do not necessarily take care of everyone’s abilities so that no one will notice. Also, if you do not kill everyone then you are no longer able to even show my opponent how to fight.
When I lost during the year that Jung Hyuk and I were planning on going to the finals we did not want to be on the same team so I just moved to another team that I was going to start going to Seoul. At first we did not go to the finals because in case no one came, we already had all the finals on this server so we didn’t want to make it into the finals but they allowed us to play at the finals for some time so they knew that that it was ok for us to play at the finals. As soon as you are going to the finals, you want to fight your opponent which is how we were prepared for the finals as well so we moved onto the next team.
So in the end, we played 3-0 in Korea the last 2 seasons and the finals was not one of our goals. It was because in practice we were doing something very similar to that and decided to go there so we could play and lose as many times as we like. With our strategy, in order to avoid losing the next couple of events we were trying to practice different strategies and I learned that I should not focus on my tactics, I should rather focus on practicing them. To this day I still don’t think that practicing strategy is the best way to win tournaments. And since I am still practicing at the game level in Korea, maybe not all strategies work as well with the same set of tactics. I think that if my strategies were correct, we could do quite well as a team
