As far as I know.... nope. I believe this is meant to be a somewhat basic coach for new players that might offer some basic tips instead of just the trash talk that wham and saxi offer. The "advice" offered is very basic though and definitely will not be anywhere close to the advice you can get in the SOC but it will serve to teach complete newbies the very basics of tactics.

Probably would have been the best bot to start out with, but hindsight is a beautiful thing. Seems like a good idea.

Strange it hasn t been anounced. Bigwham hasn t done any big update in 2014 yet right? Maybe this is part of the next update and is the only new thing live.

There are 6 'Continents' on this map - if you control all the territories in them you get bonus troops.

If I take a bonus area, be sure to try and attack it so I don't get bonus troops.

Both these comments refer to the same thing. They both use different words.

Seriously... Who would find himself on a risk website without knowing such basic.... I mean come on, what can possibly be more obvious than this? Tert count and 3 minimum deploy is not as obvious.
A continent bonus is probably the most obvious thing, even someone who has never heard of risk would understand that looking at a map.

I prefer bots since they don't complain when I hold them hostage.

gilligan, it depends,
of course everybody has the right to play what they like, i respect that,
but in my case, with little time, i have a max of approx 20 games going on, sometimes i had only 10 games
that means after 10 minutes i am done with my turn ( depending on which style of game of course)
with speedgames i have had horrible experience in the past (last game i was surprised i won)
but in the middle of the speedgames my internet crashed, i had to switch my comp on and off,
the lag drove me crazy, and giving your points away with some dangerous speedgame, no thanks
i switched my internetprovider , i should have now 100 mb/s, if its true ( at least i am paying for that)
so i should be trying more speedgames again,

so the only choice to kill some time was the bots
and it was fun to try all the maps i had never played
but than i wanted the medal, just this week i achieved it,
now i can try all the other maps,

i guess u are to busy with your gameplay style
evaluating moves, writing to clanmates.....
and i would think, the bots are waste of time for you
they are not a challenge and u dont get points for playing them
i understand your point , i still enjoy them

what i am curious of is this,
do the games against the bots go into my dicestats ?
and does that mean, if i have great dice in one botgame
that i will have terrible bad diceluck against real opps?
could someone answer this for me please?

Yes, you're throwing dice, so it goes in your dice stats as usual.

No, because dice outcome is never decided by your previous rolls. That's very basic statistics.
could someone answer this for me please?
You're welcome!

Seriously you should spend some time answering the questions that we get in Live Chat on occasions. Lots of people don't properly read or check up on things when they should. That's why we often have to answer questions that already are answered in the FAQ's, guidelines or elsewhere.
