Fantastic Strategy Risk/Displomacy Game
I've played this game for close to a hundred hours just to beat each map with each kingdom on the toughest difficulty. There's a slight bit of RNG, but every time I lose, it's because I made a poor calculation - by expanding too far too quickly, focusing too much on my military, becoming too inefficient financially, etc. The easier difficulties are a fun romp shich many will be familiar with if they've played the above board games (or many/most hexed based strategy games). But the toughest difficulties require perfect calculation and assesment of the situation, where the game becomes less like a strategy game and more like an intricate puzzle. The game is very well put together and a ton of fun for strategy geeks like me, but if you're looking for the shiny bobble which is created from researching (like in Civilization) you won't find it here - we're talking numbers and locations. There are many ways to adapt the win conditions for short or long games (I usually go for long) and several maps, each with their own potential empires. There's virtually no story and the online community is essentially dead - so single-player pure strategy experience only. It's a bit of a one-trick pony, but the one trick is REALLY good, if you're into it.
