instead of just a trip. game how about the option of 4 on 4 team play only.

I don't know if I like this idea. With 8 people on the board it would be way to crowded and would probably take a lot to program.

Ditto that, it could get a bit hectic. Not to mention there have never been 8 players in a real riskboard anyway. It's always been 6.

It's always been 6.

Uuuhhhh, I suggest some research

Risk variants, including online versions, with more than 6 players... are common as Hades.

More than 6 players are permitted in RiskII... the authorized sequel.

Lack stated, in another thread, that upping the number of players... is no big deal.

The problem right now, is that no suitable maps exist at CC... at this time.

Really? I was just thinking of the Classic risk board.

the main problem at this time would be 1 team playing before the other teamthe first team would have the definite advantage

Yeah, things would swing so wildly between teams turns that i don't think it would be terribly fun or strategic... then again I'm not that big of team games in any capacity. Maybe if you rotated turns so teams didn't go all at once? Still, people complain about waiting around on a 6 person game, why make the move into 8 without some compelling reason.

other idea, when one looses, no big deal

This is why people have been making larger maps.

if it was 8....space it...2 go on a team at a time. meaning 2 on one team plays the 2 on the othe so on and so fourth...

just one of those crazy ideas...

I think it could definetly work and be a lot of fun, it would just require one of the larger maps such as London Postcode, Freakshow's gimongous map, or THE world map. It wouldn't work out any of the maps we have now.

UR RIGHT...THE BIGGER THE BETTER.

I think it's a cool idea. even if some people dont like it, others mite

I get frustrated enough playing with one deadbeat let alone having to deal with three.

The classic board just has 6 continents. But there are at least a couple maps here that have 8 continents--Crossword & Montreal I can think of offhand. It could be interesting, at least if they stagger the turns. 4 teammates going in a row could make for a devestating attack.

ur right...it would...it would be a good place to try alternating the teams in there positions...

yes it could possibly work but we would need a bigger more open map 4 this to really work , the only problem i can see is that it would get EXTREAMLY annoying if someone went into to a "4 on 4" game just to waste time

Yeah we could get some one to make a special 4 on 4 map 4 this couldent we?? that would make it exciting and unpredictible

Sure, I have no problem with this option... I just won't join any game with more than 6 people, but if it pleases others, good for them.

why was this rejected?

well this was made back when all the members of one team would go and then all the members of the other team would go instead of alternating turns between teams. So back then the 4 v 4 would have given a definite advantage to the first team but now I don't see a problem with the option.

that is y i bought it back up

yes and now we have a few maps that will fit the bill for a 4 vs 4 battle....
