Are You a Beginner? Classic Progressive Risk: Global Domination

The question I'm asking in this video is: Are you a beginner?
The focus of this video is to review the basic heuristics we use for progressive cards in Risk as well as to pay specific attention to the beginner in the game. Ryan is a subscriber who is new to the game and I thought it could be valuable to review all my default rules and shortcuts for progressive strategy while also showing you guys what to do and what not to do from the perspective of a beginner.
I hope you enjoy!

Do you think yellow was thinking "why aren't they trying to finish continents" because if I were yellow these first 5 turns I'd be thinking OH MAN I HAVE THIS! 🤣🤣

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

We see a lot of newer players pay too much attention to the bonuses in progressive. Players of all levels are guilty of this.

[@xer0kee]

Great video, I love how you pointed out that suicide from that Beginner who literally just ruined my game, that's good to see haha Hoping to see more interesting games than this in Future though xD

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

It was and continues to be, a key feature of playing with and around beginners.

[@tylermanthei1124]

I like that you're taking a different approach with your commentary and focusing on a less experienced player.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

I want to make videos that are broadly applicable. It was a nice review for me too. I'm glad you liked it!

[@Andrew-Greene]

This style is really informative. I would definitely like to see more like this. The focus on another player is great.

[@glenjamindle]

This was a fun video. I'd enjoy more beginner player analysis during live games.

[@vCarpo]

this suicide reminded me of the last game of the 2021 first quart tournament when a 5 hours game ended in like 10 minutes

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Yes, once the game goes from a stable state to imbalanced it can end very quickly.

[@ronnieballs8145]

This was a good video because you explained a lot of theories/approaches

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

🙏

[@kenzolh2]

I’ve gotten into risk a month ago cuz u randomly appeared In my KZbin recommendations, now I’m addicted! Hahahahaha Thank you for your explanation videos, I’m still a beginner but I’m learning a lot thanks to you! Keep up the content!!

[@Biscuits514]

This was super helpful! Seeing you play was one thing, breaking it down like this was eye-opening! Great idea!!

[@stevep5669]

Yeaaahhh!!! Exactly what I was looking for after finding your channel through the algorithm yesterday

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Excellent. I plan on extending this playlist.

[@RoyallyChiefd]

I'm glad I looked at some of your older videos, I've been avoiding Progressive. Never had a good strategy. I'll take my filter off Fixed. Thanks again, Pete!

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Prog wd is the thing I do best. It's not currently viable for ranking like it was back then which breaks my heart a little but it does teach you a lot of skills.

[@RoyallyChiefd]

@The Kill Pete Strategy Now, with the ranking system, I feel like even if I take 2nd place but finish better than 4 experts, that moves me up? So it'd be better to have matches with higher ranked opponents over equal opponents 🤔

[@darioscomicschool1111]

Thank you so much! This was Golden!

[@alexywchoi3572]

I am a beginner and have learnt a lot. Thank you for sharing

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

🙏🙏🙏 you're welcome!

[@finleypope2713]

Great video and great explanation of what to do and what not to do. In Ryan's case though, I would think that a mindset change would help him more as he should try to diagnose mistakes like from these videos and change his mindset to learn from these mistakes to improve.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Agreed. I've already seen much improvement from the first time we played so anything's possible.

[@chrisgillespie1955]

awesome video pete. really appreciate it

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

You're welcome.

[@amkamomega]

xerokee punching dark green was scary and satisfying to watch

[@Knulp14]

Great video!

[@jackcooper3307]

Please more of these

[@shmurda8383]

Great video and gg!

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Thanks man. To you too!

[@user-us4ws9px2s]

It feels like even if you play "perfect" or very well if you dont match in at 4 is deah no matter what if your opponents also plays well. The variations must be very high.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Yeah. Against good opponents not having a set on 4 in the late game on progressive cards is death.

[@jainkartik11]

please upload more progressive card videos on the classic map!! thanks

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

I have like 40 games in a row on classic at the beginning of my channel. Go back and check em out!

[@savina4079]

thanks for the video! do you have any more like this or in general for beginner/intermediates like myself?

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Hi Savina, this playlist is my most recent attempt to go over the fundamentals of FFA progressive world domination. Feel free to ask questions 🙂

[@vCarpo]

ayy ryannnn

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

lolll

[@andysam1192]

this is good video...just like ryan playing board risk game seems wanted to get a country right away and never thought about cards. if you have podcast like other videos do videos like this a newbie guide.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

I have been meaning to update this type of video with all that has changed. Maybe it could be a series.

[@smokindragn1]

Can you help me with a problem I have been experiencing playing Risk recently. Auto set up, fixed sets. At the start of some games players will let each other conquer a country and then will not invade each others country. They won't attack anyone but will just keep gathering armies. Turn after turn its the same thing no attacking, just collecting armies. I am a firm believer that weak players should attack the strongest player. But if I attack anyone's country then every other player will gang up against me...any suggestions?

[@marcbesten1291]

what distinguishes a top 100 player from a, lets say, top 5000 player? I am currently ranked about 2000th but find it hard to rank up.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

When we hit a plateau in our progression it makes sense to ask why. I have found the two things that have most improved my games recently have been: 1. Calming my nerves (breathing/meditation) so I separate my emotions from my game as much as possible. and 2. Paying as much focus as I can to identifying my mistakes so that I don't make them again. It's possible that you played perfectly and still lost, but it's much more likely that you did a few crucial things wrong to cause it. Figuring out what those things are is essential. As far as what the difference is between top 2000 and top 100. A lot of it comes down to practice. Make the mistakes necessary to learn.

[@marcbesten1291]

@@TheKillPeteStrategy Alright! Thanks for the response

[@user-us4ws9px2s]

after first match in, should you then match in on 3 if you can?

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Hmm. It's very dependent on a lot of factors. Two key questions to ask are: Can you / will you survive until your next turn without trading? If you trade will you be able to make a kill so that their cards recovers what you lose making that kill?

[@tomekk503]

I play the board game, but the card mod is so confusing. What is the different between progressive & fixed card mod. Some card you need all different shape other is all 3 different, very hard to understand.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

I made a while video on just that in the beginners series

[@allinredriskstrategies]

Good game, SexyBenn!

[@user-gp5ce4ns4j]

Yellow doomed them all Hahahahahahaha

[@adrianeklowcabramek]

So 25% of the time it doesn’t matter what you do and you still get vanquished. Because you don’t get a match

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

In today's video I manage to miss a set on four and still win. It's not as simple as that.

[@adrianeklowcabramek]

@@TheKillPeteStrategy ok I'll check it out. Thanks for replying Pete!

[@chrisgillespie1955]

pete why do you play progressive when if you don’t have the set on 4 you basically just lose

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

I play everything

[@louisbharnabas]

Was it just luck: one Beginner vs all Grandmasters? 😮

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

It's always luck.

[@louisbharnabas]

@@TheKillPeteStrategy lucky guy, just playing with them and watching them play will up his game. BTW, been watching your videos for a while (and playing 1 or 2 games a day). Learning a lot. You rock. 😄👍

[@PavlePetar]

he be trying to get progressive

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

LOLLLL
