I don't like one way either - was thinking more of being able to attack from neutral territories (gallaries or rough) much like the seas in alexander's empire...

New World
Ive already created a colored board game which some of my family and I play on. Its of the world made up of 71 places divided among 8 continents. Colored with shades of tan is North America made up of 14 places worth 7 armies, shades of yellow is Central America made up of 5 places worth 3 armies, shades of orange is South America made up of 5 places worth 3 armies, shades of blue is Europe made up of 10 places worth 7 armies, shades of green is Asia made up of 17 places worth 9 armies, shades of brown is Africa made up of 8 places worth 5 armies, shades of yellow is Middle East made up of 5 places worth 3 armies, shades of purple is Australia made up of 7 places worth 5 armies. One would just have to see a picture of it to understand the basics of how it looks and what the places are but Im not a computer wiz to know how to go about making it.

i found this map when i was looking around. i think if someone works on it it would be a good map.
(it might be copyed so it might not be able to become a map but i just thought that i would suggest it)

Battle of Thermopylae
Or for those who don't know what the f*** that is.
It's the battle depicted in the movie 300
As of now I'm not able to make this a good map nor do I have the time. So I'm just putting it out there for someone more capable to consider.
I think it's an awesome battle to turn into a risk map. So many possibilities. Plus the battle and concept of it being a risk map kick ass entirely by themselves.
If no one decides to make it I'll try to find time to work on it myself.
