RISK 2 W/ MANUAL
Risk, the classic Parker Brothers board game of world domination, armies and conquest, has previously appeared on the PC from Hasbro Interactive -- but in creating a sequel, developer Deep Red and MicroProse have taken the game to a whole new level.
The world is at war, and you are in command of enough armies to begin your quest to conquer the globe. You will need to organize your forces and survive the conflict through strategy, cunning, ruthless decision-making, alliances, betrayals and luck. Risk II two basic gameplay options for this Napoleonic war gaming -- Classic Risk and Same Time Risk.
In Classic Risk, you have access to all the features and elements of the original board game plus a few new ones. You can play the game as single-player versus computer opponents (Tournament mode), as a Hot-Seat game for up to eight players on one computer (in turn-based or Same Time modes), over a LAN or on the Internet through the MSN Gaming Zone. You can win at Classic Risk in three different ways: dominate a percentage of the world by conquering territories (60, 80 or 100 percent), capture enemy capitals or complete a secret mission.
With Same Time Risk you are freed from the agonizing wait of turn-based gameplay as all players can carry out actions at the same time. This mode utilizes a modified battle system that allows up to seven armies to simultaneously attack a single territory. A new dice mechanism has also been added that allows for a larger variety of outcomes. Players can now use a 12-sided dice instead of the standard 6-sided.
The global map is divided into six continents and 42 territories (48 if you choose to turn on the new additions). You must simultaneously defend your lands while creating a strategy to destroy your adversaries. Territories are initially allocated by one of three ways, Random Allocation, Territory Grab or Election. Random Allocation divides the territories up as equally as possible between all players at the start of the game; Territory Grab allows players to choose territories in turn until all are owned; and the most complex method, Election, gives payers the chance to vie for power and control of the 48 territories by using Election Points to influence the balance of power in as of yet uncommitted territories.
Risk II also offers 16 different computer opponents who you can pit your wits against -- each with a unique character profile, personality and strategies. These 'AI Generals' include Campbell, Mackenzie, Wellington, Bonaparte, Marmont, Barbacena, D'Erlon, Maransin, Solignac, Sherbrooke, Aubert and others.
The game's single-player Tournament mode offers you a series of 16 progressively tougher scenarios, all designed by die-hard Risk players. As you make your way through the challenges, more options will be available, such as Same Time and secret missions. Adjustable game preferences include various sound effects, music, video, controls and tutorials. Video preferences allows you the option to view the battles on a 3D landscape, as well as territorial zooms and Map Zooming.
Risk II's three different game objectives are playable in both Classic and Same Time modes. World Domination is the longest and most classic objective (conquer 60, 80 or 100Ͽf the world to be victorious), Mission Risk is an object-based version of the game and Capital Risk gives each player a capital city to defend.
As with the classic game of Risk, Risk II players collect battle cards that can help them gather more troops as the game progresses or as they conquer territories. These cards can be traded to other players during the reinforcement phase of each game turn. Speaking of phases, each game turn has four distinct phases, Diplomacy, Reinforcement, Battles and Tactical Moves. In the Diplomacy phase you can strike alliances with other players. The system used to negotiate these deals with the computer players is called I-Com (Iconic Communication), which provides a way for you to communicate with the 'AI Generals.' I-Com can only be used during a single-player game when facing multiple AI opponents. Whenever there is more than one human player, I-Com is disabled.
Developer Deep Red has crafted a sequel to the classic Risk game that adds many improvements and enhancements to the original. Along with multiple viewing options, a global 3D tactical overview, cinematic battle sequences, challenging AI, a variety of multi-player options and much more, Risk II offers players the chance to play the classic Risk boardgame in an electronic format with new twists.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
