Stealing Their Capital? Risk Classic Caps

[@LionheartShed]

Hey Software Developer here, the biggest hurdle to making another version of risk would be the trademark and copyright issues

[@danielkanewske8473]

Not if you call it Ksir!

[@TheDannytaz]

​@@danielkanewske8473 Nobody would know! Genius!

[@McHorsesCreations]

Obviously it wouldn't be called RISK: THE WORLD DOMINATION 😂

[@ma2zak589]

concept, maps, rules, designs@@McHorsesCreations

[@McHorsesCreations]

@@ma2zak589 I don’t think games rules are copyrightable. However maps and UI designs are certainly are, but I don’t think there is need to make it look exact the same way.

such a *high number* of epic, memorable noobery moments this game lmao 5:04 7:20 9:26 (my favourite) 15:07 16:36

thank you for getting me into this game I've had lots of fun because of you

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Very glad to hear it

[@noneofyourbusiness4397]

While it’s true SMG has no obligation to fix stuff, I think it’s a much better move to listen to the community because firstly, it’s a relatively small community and secondly it would create loyalty and goodwill to create a base fuel growth imo.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

I think so too

[@jitsefrieswijk7859]

I cant wait for the moment Pete finally makes contact with smg

[@gimcarry5906]

The KZbin algorithm brought me to your videos two weeks ago and I've honestly spent at least 50 hours watching your videos, now here I am addicted to Risk. Just made Expert this morning. Thanks for all you do Pete!

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Welcome aboard!

[@BradleyZoellnerGolf]

Just getting into risk, this game seems sooo fun. Thankful for videos like yours creating a sense of community for newcomers like me

[@ceberskie119]

If i may add to the question of community made risk client...the gsme is growing the last thing competitive risk needs (cause thats petes clear focus imo) is to divide the player base with a fan made client.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Ideally the devs would care enough about the competitive scene to listen to us an incorporate the community's needs. I don't actually think the game is growing without the community and content creators so if a fan made client were to come into being the player base wouldn't split, it would switch imo. Assuming that client is better.

[@ceberskie119]

That would certainly be ideal in either case communication or the community client. If you could somehow get such a large community onboard to transfer to said client.

[@ma2zak589]

the same way people found out about the first one - they would eventually make the switch. granted not over night@@ceberskie119

[@Kaazzaam88]

Red just made my day with his Triple Cap Slam Fails 😂 And the "Our Alliance is over" was the cherry on the top 🍒 🤣

[@richwilliams1863]

Good point about that company Pete. If a job's worth doing, it's not my obligation - as the old saying goes.

[@j.6378]

there's a version of risk on the playstation store with a game mode where you can spend "stars" (each card has 1-3 stars and all trade ins are based on star totals not card totals) to build bases that act like capitols and artillery that can attack once per turn on any territory within range and a bunch of other stuff and it's super fun. wish SMG would adopt that.

[@michaelweber7989]

You should do a game where you cap in Noob Guinea. A challenge for yourself

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

oh boy

[@tunnelrat78]

One of the issues may be that smg put in work on the animations and they look fantastic. But they get in the way of the game. Its hard to admit that something that looks great is not wanted by players.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Oh yeah it's one of the more egregious examples of sunk cost fallacy I've ever witnessed. It's actively killing their player base and the growth of their game but conversation about that seems completely off the table

[@lukascik5346]

At 7:20 Pete lost 7 troops to blue's 20 troops lmao, what a coincidence

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Yeah man stuff like this should not happen

[@sam-r7w]

​@@TheKillPeteStrategy is there an problem with that ratio? I thought it's expected when you roll a cap at only 125% strength of them

[@striker7862]

if you make your own risk game, will be one of the first to join and will encourage all our community and friends to play it as well. you have a community why not capitalise on it and work with a couple of developers to make the game, everybody wins

[@NotFound-bg4sr]

I have played some other risk clients, mostly on websites, and I don’t think they are as good as the official one. The official one actively works to make the game feel like a mobile game and has UI things that inhibit finding the competitive scene, in my opinion. I played it on steam in the past but didn’t know about the competitive community until watching this channel.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Yep. We're working hard on showing the devs the merits of the competitive scene and incorporating that into the overall game design for everyone's benefit

[@Baldy.TheOnlyOne]

23:54 Would it have been better for white if they had taken West Africa and broken Brazil on that turn? And perhaps abandoned the Noob Guinea cap..? Regardless, great game all round with lots of noobery; nice to see new players trying - and hopefully learning and getting better.

[@washyleopard]

Pete, do you think a non random game mode would be fun to play or would it just be boring. For example, when attacking a territory, you always lose 66%( or whatever the average loss currently is) of the troops you kill even on a failed roll, with caps rolls losing like 150%.

[@McHorsesCreations]

Pete has answered similar question in the Find the Empty Space! in the end (30:40) on FreePete channel. I don't know if the link can be posted in the comments, so I'd refrain from it, but I think it can be searched relatively easily by typing "Find the Empty Space FreePete" in search. 👍

[@zanedietlin7645]

i can haz? love the old cat memes. we need more reggie!

[@billybatseenddeeerste1271]

yesterday in a game i found myself in the same starting situation as blue. other player capped right next to me in Africa. I took that as a threat and manually rolled that capital on turn 1. I ended up finishing the game 2nd place. it was classic fixed too, if it were prog i'd have not given it much of a care to be honest, but if you don't get a bonus in classic fixed you are doomed

Did something happen to the rankings? I was nigh on to GM a few days ago and last night I checked my profile and I was still at Master but I had slipped close to Expert

[@timmcclymont3527]

Bro fuck the ranking system it's silly and scuffed af. You probably better than half the 'gm' accounts

[@DaTimmeh]

Season reset

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

When the reset happens your skillpoints drop to the base of your rank class. 16k for master and 26k for GM.

Have you played Risk Europe, Pete? Curious if you like that version of the game and the economy aspect.

I played castle risk, is that the same?

got to love the white new guinea cap when he got both Ukraine and the middle east xD

[@TreeCamper]

You might want to risk less than 100% if you have a real tight kill that requires a split. What say you, Pete?

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Of course. And in that very rare use case it's a good thing we have the slider. I'm not suggesting removing the slider. I'm suggesting changing itself default.

[@TreeCamper]

caught the vid 20 min in lets go

[@ravil4230]

The slider could have some updates but not always automatically best position. 1st it should never happen that when using slider you go negative. As the best position it is also a bit strategy - go fast or go smart and I think it would be incorrect to complain on that. But if animations are on then you go slow anyways and it should be automatically in best spot as it is kind of fancy noob mode.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

The best spot is 100% to take. Anything else is suboptimal and can be manually adjusted for different specific needs.

[@ravil4230]

@TheKillPeteStrategy hahaa, that's the point - if you run fast you have made the decision and selected the added risk of not going optimal

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Optimal here relativizes against a clock. Do you believe the person who moves the fastest deserves ton win a strategy game?@@ravil4230

[@pepperypeppers2755]

Why on earth would SMG program in Nuetral bot stacking, just make the bot do nothing

[@LithmusEarth]

6 Minutes in, Empty Cap and 2 players not seizing it (yes i realize one is a neutral bot, but still) Just Walk off cap and leave. Why? What happened to make them do that? 7:30 WHAT?! also this question will never get answered. I really thought blue might go try to take your India Capital and abandon the African one... I unpaused it ad break but for a second, it's as I predicted they ALSO bailed like green. WHAT IS HAPPENING?! Why are these people slamming and leaving. 9:42 why people be hitting caps? You aren't answering this question before everyone bots out it feels like, red hasn't botted yet though. Jeez. 10:06 I'm surprised you aren't just going to take africa, and sit and generate without taking cards. 3 Caps + Africa just bananas. 13 Answer Time, and sure, makes sense to me, also Black just is getting so STACKED. Reminds me of when you try to hold Three positions in progressive spreading yourself out so you can't just be killed easily and quickly. 15 minutes in, Salute Red. 16:54 now it looks like he just giving up punch through that 6 to steal his cap. I've expected red to quit multiple times, he's just having such a bad game. Takes Asia. Also I looked back, white could have capped in that arabia/middle east spot. I don't know how many troops were there either, didn't look hard enough or how high they were in the turn order.

[@HighLigerBimBam]

While the idea of fixing the slider might make sense from a competitive standpoint, it's not a good decision for developers and casual players in general. Let me explain why. Currently, the slider is kind of a mini-game in the game. Removing/repairing it would remove a significant part of the game's mechanics. It would also immediately narrow the gap between a beginner and a master if the slider didn't exist. Imagine playing without the silly emotions that come with slider errors. Another point is the history of unsuccessful games designed for competitive play. Casual gamers usually avoid these. Risk is popular, therefore it might be a loss loss scenario, why take the RISK?

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

If the game had more competitive integrity that would be appealing to casual people as well because everyone likes to win and every hates to lose when the loss is unfair. You would never choose to commit more troops to a roll than you need to win it so we're not suggesting tweaking a mechanic thats working properly. We're suggesting fixing one that's broken

[@thimb5433]

the white player picking the worst cap they could have chosen (ukraine, Middle east or even kamatchka would ahve been better) and also the bot picking a better cap than some players make it hilarious
