I have seen many of your videos in the last two weeks. I like that you added what you did for work in this video. Hope that some people can help you out so you can play RISK full time.
16:04 I know it's a bit super detailed and you need to take quick decisions in the game. But I would keep the cannon card from Western Australia. You know that you soon will hold that position. Your Mongolia card could soon be worthless. These small things are sometimes what makes the difference from a win to a lose.
That's a fair thing to consider. I think the value of this point diminishes over time. In the late game 2 troops becomes progressively negligible. Assuming I had infinite time your suggestion is always correct. Its probably better to look at your trade on your opponents term to maximize your clock on your own. While a nitpick it's a good idea to make sure one gets into good play habits so I'm glad your brought this up
7:45 obviously what you've said is right, no information makes the game even, removing pre-game lobbies' info to prevent the grinding noobs is great. It's my opinion, but leveraging the ingame information as much as possible is a skill. Knowing who to watch out for is a skill in and of itself. And luck based games need as much skill as possible.
It's definitely a skill. Hopefully they redesign the ranking system and lobby so that it's more fair. But for now ending noob grinding is definitely a step in the right direction.
If people still want to grind, they can always set a min rank on lobby. People may be less inclined to join and that is their prerogative! I love this change personally!
Started playing after watching some of your videos. been playing a few weeks and got my score to over 18.5k last night. Going for that GM but another 7k seems so much haha. Been sweating my balls off trying to secure the wins and 2nd's! ha
@@TheKillPeteStrategy I’m glad you replied to this actually, as immediately after watching this I jumped on, was looking like a 2nd place, the guy in the lead had 100 troops over me, I killed a guy to secure atleast second. Then I’m guessing the guy in the lead assumed if he was to bot out, it would clean up easily due to the defect. But thanks to how you ended the game in this video, I knew I had a shot! So took note of what you said. Managed to get the win. 20.5k now!
I know the new update tackles the whole noob farming tactic but now I have no idea who is likely to suicide into me. I think you should be able to see stats when you're actually in the game. What do you think Pete?
This was a great Fixed game to watch!. Also, with your lawn mowing business, have you considered starting up a RUclips channel for your lawn mowing business?
@@TheKillPeteStrategy I'm not entirely sure what kind of landscaping you do but there are a number of channels out there that highlight the transformation of the lawns
Would be HAPPY to donate for training! Perhaps a small group class situation? I've set those up before and found success for masterclasses like this. You absolutely deserve to make a living and if you are going to give time to us to learn, we should show our appreciation!
I'm not worried about 'deserve' but I'm happy to give. I would need someone to set this up on discord or knowing me I'll never get around to it. I would want to do something like this once a month. People could tune in for a coaching steam and we could do analysis of their games.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy You could do something like an intensive once a month where you go over some concepts or principles, and then unleash us to test it on each other?
Pete, why have you not played the new map called Greece? I have watched your videos for over a year and you have helped me get to master. Thank you so much for always giving me something enjoyable to watch
I can't even be in the room if my husband is playing a scary game! I also am not a fan of being scared! Accidentally got stuck in the haunted walk part of an amusement park last year and had to buy the "don't scare me" necklace made for small children in order to make my way out while clutching my MILs hand 🤣🤣🤣
I'm not interesting in trading ~30 troops for ~15 in trade in value, equalizing me in strength with Green and putting me in a less advantageous position. I'm happy to let the bot continue to cause problems for my opponents at that point.
Hey pete. Kind of a nice improvement from smg to remove the ability to look up opponent's stats from the game for fairness as many people noob grind I feel cause of the dumb way the rank system is configured. It's weird the way smg does things as risk seems to be large enough with plenty of payable options that gives smg plenty of money to do things to improve the game... But they don't... More than 15 years ago, I played a game called 'gunz', which was a 3rd person shooter from korea with only a few hundred people online at a certain time and even back then in 2005 or so, they had proper game lobbies where people can confirm they're ready before the game can start instead of during countdown like smg. They had different servers for different skill levels. From open servers to servers based on rank such that u could choose to fight opponent of your rank or open fights. It ain't that hard to program such a thing. They just don't seem to care. Especially 'small' things like turning camera animations of as default or turn back to blitz after turn etc etc seem so easy to alter that the only conclusion I can make is that they're insanely lazy and will only make changes once profits drop / less players will play.
The most important thing they could be doing that they're not is talking to us. The fact that they neither make simple little changes nor even speak to the community makes a strong case to your point that they don't care. I really really hope they do. I hope they see the value in opening up the dialogue with the community that has grown around their game soon. We have so much to offer them and we would give it freely.
Late to comment this game, but it seems clear to me that green was making the Asia play. Also (Purple still playing like an NPC) Except he don't act with their speed!
I played this map on zombie mode fixed and everyone suicided into me at the end and forced me to face the zombies with almost nothing and somehow pulled a win out after a painful 40 minutes
See I understand why. I've used in game rankings to figure out who I need to be worried about which I think is a little unfair. Had a game last weekend that I felt a bit guilty about because I took out a stronger player earlier than I needed to because I knew I'd never beat him in the end game. So I think now I'll need to focus on gameplay to figure out someone's skill level, which is an extra layer of fun!
@@Random595 I could see that, but you figure 99.9% of players aren't super recognizable. Heck I'm pretty active in this community and I prob wouldn't even recognize most of the famous people!
Yeah pretty much. The lobby stops noob grinding. The in game may prevent targeting but it easily gives up other obvious advantages in terms of predicting bad or suicidal play from opponents.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy Doubt they would this. But add one more level into the ranking system, then make it so your opponent can only be one level above or one level below, your current ranking. 2 levels below if your are Grandmaster. Although this would increase que times.
42:40 I am confused about hitting west africa to let him come back I think that was an unneccessary mistake, he accepted the alliance then u hit him I guess The guy didnt like it, u know ppl are idiot, dont get things Idk if u meant anything by it but i wouldnt do it, he already got the threat from spain and would come back to west africa
Honestly pink deserves 4th after you gave him a second chance and he doubled down 😂 Like sir why are you making enemies with a more powerful neighbor on your border?
"Oh purple so bad, who knows what his game was!"
purple: *Master*
It’s almost a guilty pleasure of mine. Absolutely hate playing fixed yet really enjoy watching it, Friday is always a great day Pete!
Strange eh, but I'm happy you enjoy the show!
I have seen many of your videos in the last two weeks. I like that you added what you did for work in this video. Hope that some people can help you out so you can play RISK full time.
Things are going well.
I'm very interested to see what happens with this video work.

Killer come back Pete. Love watching your vids. Best online Risk player on RUclips. Cheers!
45:55 that was a great move.
The ending of the game is very similar to 1 vs all which is one of my favorite scenarios. Nice game to watch.
Thanks man. I was able to grind out the larger AI much like in that scenario

There has to be some Risk.
Now at least ranks will settle to an natural equilibrium.
I'm excited to see what a meaningful FFA rank looks like.
31:00 - an iconic moment
Lol!
that video title though :D
gotta catch your stream sometime!! I wanna say hi to Pete LIVE!
23:43 Fncking purple 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
watched for 38 minutes, didn't realize till just now how nice your beard is
Cheers! Thanks man, I grew it myself.
The beard turns him into a Chad, and if the volume is off he is a Chad from the Netherlands

Due to the deficit
Northern Mariana Islands flag?

There's no good reason to remove stats in game.
Perhaps the stats in lobby and in game are linked somehow
Good game and good riddance noob grinding. Rank rest and two ladders here we come!
For real. I'm looking forward to a meaningful FFA rank.
This was a great Fixed game to watch!. Also, with your lawn mowing business, have you considered starting up a RUclips channel for your lawn mowing business?
Seriously! I need some lawn care tips from pete!
What would be the angle on that I wonder...
@@TheKillPeteStrategy I'm not entirely sure what kind of landscaping you do but there are a number of channels out there that highlight the transformation of the lawns
I loved the stats because I have Asperger’s Syndrome and thus absolutely love numbers!
No wonder you love the game.
how do you make the colors have different shapes?
Colourblind mode
Magenta learning the hard way.
Would be HAPPY to donate for training! Perhaps a small group class situation? I've set those up before and found success for masterclasses like this.

We played Greece on Finleys show.

I just don't see how it's fun for people.
Hey man. FYI, the audio on your channel is quite faint. I'd up the volume, but that makes the ads very loud.
👍
Well, I have watched many vids of you. The running gag is, how many different drinks, mugs, cups, glasses you have 😅
I actually have way more but I only use a few.
Can't believe you didn't drop a GG for that red bot at the end 😭
Why didn’t you kill purple bot for 5 cards when they were on 30 troops (~55 minutes)

Would love to support but yea I am a poor African guy…liking the content, would love to see one game with true random dice
It's all good. Never an obligation.
I have a bunch of TR stuff. Particularly anything with Escape The 4z
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
😍😍😍😍
I just made GM for the first time playing Automatch only :)
Well done.
This is the highest form of gm currently
@@TheKillPeteStrategy thanks! Couldn’t have done it without you :)
Set up a patreon Pete!
I will. It makes sense to do.
Antarctica should be a playable continent.
Jus' sayin'.
So I'm a noob for loving classic risk? I'm a classy dame, that's all.
I want to see you take on 5 bots on expert
That's too easy
The flag you didn't recognise is the Northern Mariana Islands' flag !
Edit: I meant Northern oops
42:40
I am confused about hitting west africa to let him come back
I think that was an unneccessary mistake, he accepted the alliance then u hit him
I guess The guy didnt like it, u know ppl are idiot, dont get things
Idk if u meant anything by it but i wouldnt do it, he already got the threat from spain and would come back to west africa
The flag was Somalia 🇸🇴 my friend
I heard Northern Marianas Islands
Pretty sure his flag means he's Captain America?
Honestly pink deserves 4th after you gave him a second chance and he doubled down 😂
Like sir why are you making enemies with a more powerful neighbor on your border?
Could see Pink breaking SA a mile away, though. They kept adding up to 40 troops against a 1 guard in brazil and an afk player in europe
Btw the red name means "general shart" (general wet fart) 🤣🤌
LOL
