Episode Fifteen

Social Media Code : Territory

Summary : You now know Manny is hiding something from you. Will he deny when you confront him? Meanwhile, Sierra follows Elazar around town and uncovers one of Elazar's secrets.

## Plot

Manny tells you everything: how he betrayed the God-Slayers with a promise to go home, indirectly killed your mother Gaylene and was on his way to get married back on earth.

Meanwhile, Sierra - being grossed out by Seb's attempts to flirt with her - decides to follow Elazar around territory and then into Persie's old chambers below the territory. It's there she sees the dead(?) Persie giving Elazar a bag with a death symbol. Sierra decided to steal that bag.

In the final cut scene, the reader sees Zion in a prison cell being treated unwell but is happy to see his child alive in a newspaper article.

## Recap

> "Manny confesses that he knew your father Zion, as he was part of the God Slayer team with Polaris and your father. Elazar unknowingly is followed by a curious Sierra below the Demon Territory. Elazar is given a bag from the dead Goddess Persie, appearing sad when given it. Sierra plans on stealing the bag. The final scene shows Zion, your father, is in jail at an unknown location."

 Joint 5

There are many different aspects of Risk skill measured by different leaderboards and tournaments, so there are many possible ways to measure this. This scoring system simplifies the problem by looking at players' performance in the most established leaderboard (the skill point leaderboard visible in the Risk app), and their performance in 8 highly acclaimed competitive Risk Tournaments, which cumulatively cover a very broad range of skills. These points were correct to our knowledge at the time of writing. If these values change, or someone else joins the leaderboard, please contact an Admin to request an article update

**Tournaments included in the methodology:**

* **Official FFA Tournament**
* **Official 1v1 Tournament**
* **2v2 Tournament (including Drew's)**
* **3v3 Tournament**
* **5AS Tournament**
* **Zombies Tournament**
* **Grandmasters Tournament**

**Fame Points awarded for Leaderboard milestones**

Note that other players were also close to featuring on our top 5 leaderboard. For example, Moly and Zombought2Knees have 12 Fame Points each.

Parlox's Scores:

1v1 tourney: 2 points for 2nd place.

2v2 tourney: 6 points, for 2 instances of 1st place. 5AS: 6 points, for 3rd place plus 2nd place plus 1st place. Only GMs tourney: 3 points for 1st place. Ranking: 4 points, for top 10.

Skatevivor: Freaks and Geeks

***Skatevivor: Freaks and Geeks*** is the first season of Skatevivor. Its theme is based off the cult classic comedy TV show from the 1990s, Freaks and Geeks.

Final Tribal Council resulted in a 5-1-0 vote in favor of Gabe, making him the series' first Sole Survivor.

## Hosts

This season was hosted by Dio, Grim, Ninja, Isabel, Christine, and Sage.

## Idols

Geeks Tribe hidden immunity idol. It was never found.Freaks Tribe hidden immunity idol. It was never found.

## Season summary

The 18 castaways were divided into two tribes of nine, Freaks Tribe and Geeks Tribe, based how much they related to those designations.

*Skatevivor*'s first season had a slow start with inactive players, unanimous votes, and self-votes. The Freaks Tribe struggled in challenges early on, and a swap at Final 14 resulted in the Freaks being in a minority on both tribes. At Merge, only four OG Freaks remained against seven OG Geeks. An alliance based largely on pre-game connections threatened to dominate the endgame, but Bella's blindside at the Final 9 completely changed the course of the season.

Liam and Gabe took control of the game by aligning with less active players, resulting in a final three of Becky Lee, Liam, and Gabe. Final Tribal Council resulted in a 5-1-0 vote in favor of Gabe, making him the series' first Sole Survivor.

Britannia Map

Info about the map:

**Map size: Small** (extremely small, second smallest map in Risk)

**A brief description:**

**- Simplified Anglo-Saxon Britain circa 700s**

## **Common Strategies****:**

### **1v1 Strategies:**

* **Capital Conquest:** *The best territory to place your capital on is Nordanhymbra. If your opponent picks it first, a good choice is Alt Clut*.
* **Often with blizzards on, the blizzards cut the map in half. You want to place your cap on one of the territories where you can split the map in half, and take the slightly more rewarding half. If the other player places their cap within your half you can easily break their continents and have the other half. If they place thier cap on the other side of yours to take the smaller half, then you will earn more troops and eventually win.**

Title Score is their number of top 3 finishes in established Risk tournaments. There are a large number of factors contributing to the prominence of a tournament and many things have been considered when writing this shortlist, but especially presence of high level competitors and how regular an event is, since there are too many one-off tourneys to count. If you wish to nominate another tourney for inclusion, please post about it in Grandmaster Strategy in the official Risk server, explaining your reasoning.

Included Tournaments: Official FFA, Official 1v1, Ranked Ladder (awarded up to once per calendar year), 2v2, 3v3, 5-a-Side, Zombies Tourney, Grandmasters Tourney and My League (Risk4Ever).

Note that there are very few volunteer authors for this Wiki, so it won't be feasible for us to comb through thousands of pages of tourney results looking for players who may qualify. If you or a Risk player you know has a higher Title Score than someone in the listed top 5, it's up to you to let us know in Grandmaster Strategy channel of the official Risk server, and provide the evidence. For the same reasons, the list won't be extended past top 5.

France map

Info about the map:

**Map size: Small** (quite small, one of the smallest maps in Risk)

**A brief description:**

**- A smaller map for fast, intense battles ideal for 3 - 4 players**

#### **Capital 1v1 Strategy:**

For the best, most skill based 1v1 caps experience on this map, it is recommended to play with manual placement, progressive cards, fog of war, and no bots. Blizzards are also recommended to increase variation.

Focus on forcing your opponent to block in their cap, while you focus on keeping your own cap unblocked. Keep an eye out for bonuses for having many territories and don't accidentally let your opponent hold a continent when possible. The strategy is similar to maps like Brazil and small Moscow for caps, since the emphasis is on positioning yourself to keep your capital unblocked.
River Town Advanced Map

Info about the map:

**Map size: Big** (fairly large)

**A brief description:**

**- A popular 6 player map, Rivertown is often played with fog of war and is a Discord favourite as a progressive capitals map and as a progressive world domination map for Play with Friends mode.**

Tokens and Premium

## Tokens

### What are tokens?

There is a limit of the number of games one can play in a day to encourage players to purchase the Premium Pack. This is regulated by the use of tokens. They are the coinage that determine how many games a player can play.

### How do tokens work?

* Regeneration rate & Token cap & starting Token count vary across platforms
* 5 Tokens are withdrawn at the start of every Offline Game.
* 10 Tokens are withdrawn at the start of every Online Game.
* A player receives 5 Tokens after winning an Online Game.
* On mobile devices, one can watch an advertisement to regain 5 Tokens.
* Tokens are account specific.
* Tokens are device specific.
* The Premium Pack gives accounts unlimited Tokens.

## Premium

### What is Premium?

The Premium Pack is a pack that players can purchase for a better in-game experience. The price generally depends on the region, device, number of games played and time. It generally costs between 5-10 US$ of in-game currency.

It boasts the following features.

* Unlimited Tokens for unlimited play.
* Removes ads for mobile players.
* Gives 6 new Premium Maps to play on.
* Bestows a golden username, two premium frames, 8 avatars and the Castle Dice.

### How to purchase Premium?

**Mobile**:

1. Go to the in-game Shop.
2. Purchase enough gems.
3. Purchase the Premium Pack.

**Steam**:

1. Go to Steam Store of Risk.
2. Purchase enough currency to buy the Premium (Mostly USD or Euro).
3. Use that currency to buy the Premium Pack.
Brazil Map

Info about the map:

**Map size: Small** (quite small, one of the smallest maps in Risk)

**A brief description:**

**Amazonas, beaches and conquest: A perfect map for 2-4 players**

#### **Capital Conquest 1v1:**

For the best, most skill based 1v1 caps experience on this map, it is recommended to play with manual placement, progressive cards, fog of war, and no bots. Blizzards are also recommended to increase variation.

A popular cap spot for player 1 on this map is Mato Grosso do Sul. With this cap spot, player 1 often tries to hold the +3 Sul region at the bottom of the map. A popular cap spot for player 2 is Goiás, because it is in the center of the map and very connected, which makes it very difficult to card block in the late game. It also prevents player 1 from holding the Centro-Oeste region.

Focus on forcing your opponent to block in their cap, while you focus on keeping your own cap unblocked. Keep an eye out for bonuses for having 12 territories, and don't accidentally let your opponent hold a continent when possible. The strategy is similar to maps like France and small Moscow for caps, since the emphasis is on positioning yourself to keep your capital unblocked.
Player ID

**There are 2 types of player ID in Risk**

1. **Friend ID**

* e.g. 37VGVCCC
* On the Risk app, if you go to your friends list screen, it's on the bottom at the middle (same for mobile and PC)
* You can add players as friends on Risk using their friend ID
* Your friend ID is one of the details required for signing up to Risk tournaments
* Using your friend ID you can check your rank and other individual stats on the online leaderboard by combining the website URL with your friend ID and searching it on Google:
* e.g. https://www.hasbrorisk.com/en/player/ + 37VGVCCC = https://www.hasbrorisk.com/en/player/37VGVCCC

**2. Risk Account-Number**

* e.g. 12345678
* This is private, don't share it with anyone apart from SMG employees
* This can be used to recover your account if you forget your password, and can be helpful for restoring purchases
Simple World Map

Info about the map:

**Map size: Small** (extremely small, The smallest map in Risk as of now)

**A brief description:**

**- A quicker gameplan for global domination**

* **Capital Conquest:** *The best territory to place your capital on is Mainland Europe, as it borders 6 territories, has accessibility to Africa and Asia, makes it very easy to hold Europe and is at the middle of the map. If your opponent picks it first, Russia is the best alternative.*
* **World Domination:** *best settings are the standard WD 1v1 settings used for Supermax, USA, Boston, Blackbeard's Wrath, Iceland etc. These are Manual, Progressive, (no bot, so AI difficulty optional), 60s, Fog on, (Blizzards optional), Alliances on (since you never need to accept one in 1v1 unless it's to your advantage).*
* **The core strategy for these types of 1v1s revolves around stacks. When choosing where to place your initial troops before round 1 in Simple World WD ALWAYS place all your troops in 1 stack.**
* **To give your stack the best chance of being able to hit your enemy without them hitting you, whether you're in first or second you should split up your territories, while forcing your opponent into as few chunks as possible. This is most simply achieved by taking dead-ends, to force the opponent into choosing connecting territories.**
* **Obviously as with all manual 1v1s, don't let the player going first start the game with continents, even if this means you can get a continent going second, since they can simply use their bonus to break yours. If your opponent split their troops, it's pretty easy to either force continents or just wipe them out round 1 depending on position.**
* **If they've used 1 stack, and you can hit it, you should have a 75% blitz chance with 35v33, which is a decent but imperfect move. This move should be taken unless better alternatives are available. It's up to you in placement to out-place your opponent to create those better opportunities, to push for a higher than 75% win-rate against Grandmasters.**

SMG Article on Computer Randomness

## **How are the dice rolling odds calculated for RISK computer players?**

Modified on: Mon, 19 Aug, 2019 at 12:37 PM

**RISK** **does not** **modify dice rolling odds in favour of computer players in any of the difficulty settings.**

**RISK** **does not** **modify dice rolling odds in favour of higher-ranked players.**

In **technical terms**, **one of the most** **widely used pseudorandom number generators** (**PRNG**) is **used to randomize all dice rolls**.

**We** **use the** **Mersenne Twister for cards, player order and dice to provide random results:** http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/m-mat/MT/emt.html

**The RISK dice rolling algorithm is tested against a control probability matrix of expected attack and defence dice rolls.** **We then compare and check the results of each of these tests for variance between our dice rolling outcomes and the control. The results are within +-5% of the control comparison, which is acceptable.**

Typically, as a **player** when we get an **unfavourable dice roll**, we **tend** to **remember the negative outcomes** more **than positive ones**. So, it **can sometimes seem that the dice aren't rolling in our favour**. To **maximise your chances of winning**, **here are a** **few tips on dice rolling strategy**.

**NEW for August 2019 augmentation with some of the new modes/rules:**

* **Human attacking Zombie: Ties favor attacker instead of defender**
* **Zombie attacking Human: -1 max attack die (so one less die)**
* **Player attacking Capital: +1 max defender die (an extra die added)**
* **Attacking over Wall: +1 max defender die (an extra die added)**
* **These also STACK!**  **So zombies attacking over a wall = 1 less attacker die, 1 more defender die**

**Here is a reddit thread where someone decompiled the game to confirm what we do with dice.**

**Note:** since 2018 we have disabled the "hacking" that this user specified. It's no longer possible

Reddit r/Risk community

Dice, Blitz and Slow Roll

**When should I blitz and when should I slow roll?**

Balanced blitz moves high odds attacks closer to 100% and low odds attacks closer to 0%. Blitzing uses balanced blitz, and slowroll always uses true random (even in balanced blitz mode)

If an attack has above 75% chance to win, you’ll get significantly higher odds by blitzing, and if it has below 25% you’ll get significantly higher odds by slow rolling

While only a small difference, many Grandmasters slow roll 2v1 because they have a 41% chance of winning, rather than blitz which only gives 37% chance for that

Grandmasters blitz 4v1, because it’s 100% blitz, but only 91% true random

A Grandmaster in a 1v1 tournament was in a position where I would definitely win the next turn unless he took my cap, and he had 0% chance if he blitzed it, but 3% chance if he slow rolled it. He slow rolled it, and amazingly won, rewarding his knowledge of how the dice work

Blackbeard's Wrath Map

Info about the map:

**Map size: Medium** (decent)

**A brief description:**

**- Assemble your crew and battle scurvy sea-dogs in this relentless pirate map**

* **World Domination:** The most established strategy for these settings is to capture Port Royale and New Drake. These continents give a +8 bonus with just one border to guard. The player going first should place their big army in a territory which has access to the continents and capture them.

Gems

**- Gems are used to purchase in-game items in the Store!**

**- They were introduced to the game in 2021, along with many more in-game purchases including new maps, emotes, frames, dice, troop counters and avatars.**

**- Since the gem update purchases are no longer transferred between different accounts on the same device and instead only the account where the gems were purchased, you can no longer enjoy having same items on different accs. Also, the Items bought with gems cannot be refunded.**

#### **Ways to earn gems**:

1. **They can be purchased in the Risk store**
2. **2 gems can be claimed free in store per day**
3. **(no longer available) there was a limited time Amazon Prime reward of 1000 gems**
4. **Winning Risk tournaments on the official Discord server can earn large gem rewards up to over 10,000**
5. **Voluntary Moderators on the Risk Discord are rewarded generously in-game, but reaching this level requires 6 months as Support staff first, and Support staff positions are hard to get**
6. **Google play-pass on android devices doesn't give gems, but makes all purchases that would use gems free, for the duration of the subscription. This may change, but at the time of writing this, it costs only about $6 a month and roughly $36 a year, which isn't expensive comparing to in-game price pool .**
7. **Taking part in the Discord and Facebook communities for Risk can get you occasional chances at free rewards of in-game items. For example 30 were given Premium for Christmas, and 10 were given a free map pack for community contributions last year.**
River Town Map

Info about the map:

**Map size: Small** (quite small, one of the smallest maps in Risk)

**A brief description:**

**- The streets are in mayhem. Someone needs to stand and protect this peaceful village.**

#### **Capital 1v1 Strategy:**

**- Place your capital on one of the territories on the Bridge. wherever your opponent places, you will be able to take half the map, and hold it using your cap. If both players use this strategy, the stalemate never ends until someone gives up.**
How to Attack Faster

**One of the most commonly asked questions** **on the** **Risk Discord server** **is** **how some players are able to attack so quickly**.

**There are 4 steps which you must use to perfect it. Those steps are**:

1. **Turning off camera animations reduces the time taken to conquer each country drastically.**
2. **Using blitz rolls (the glowing dice) to conquer territories in one roll rather than using individual 'slow rolls' also speeds things up!**
3. **Playing on PC is faster than mobile, since the enter key cut can be used instead of clicking to roll, and clicking to move troops. Arrow keys are also a shortcut for how many troops to move.**
4. **Practice makes perfect.**

**Without these**, **players are often limited to conquering around 15 territories within the 60 second turn timer**. **Using these increases that limit to around 40 territories**.

**Some players mistakenly complain in reviews of opponents using a** ''**S*peed hack***'', **however no hacking is involved**.
Enchanted Lands Map

Info about the map:

**Map size: Small**

**A brief description:**

**- The Throne sits empty and the warring fiefdoms fight for power!**

#### **1v1 Strategy:**

**- This map is well suited to the Standard World Domination 1v1 settings, and on this map for 1v1, there's the usual emphasis on creating a stack, stopping the first player starting with continents, and splitting your territories to make it hard for your opponent to predict your stack.**

Standard WD 1v1 Settings
Moscow Map

Info about the map:

**Map size: Small**

**A brief description:**

**- The heart of Mother Russia - who will win it?**

**This map was removed after Russian aggression in Ukraine. It is unknown if/when the map will be added again.**

#### **Capitals 1v1:**

**- Focus on forcing your opponent to block in their cap, while you focus on keeping your own cap unblocked. Keep an eye out for bonuses for having 12 territories, and don't accidentally let your opponent hold a continent when possible. The strategy is similar to maps like France and Brazil for caps, since the emphasis is on positioning yourself to keep your capital unblocked**

World Conquest Map

Info about the map:

**Map size: Medium (extremely decent)**

**A brief description:**

**-** **The ultimate military challenge - new countries, new sea lanes, new strategy!**

#### **Continents info**

1. **Australia**: Differently than in the Classic map, Australia is not a defensive stronghold. It gives 4 bonus troops per turn, but it has 3 borders. Therefore it has a bonus-borders ratio of 1.33, which is still higher than all other continents. The Australian turtle strategy is usually used.
2. **South America:** South America has 4 borders and gives 3 extra troops per turn, so the bonus-borders ratio is 0.75, the lowest (tied with Africa). Nevertheless, South America has great expansion options, bordering North America, Africa and Australia.
3. **Africa:** Just like South America, Africa has a continental bonus of 3 troops and 4 borders. The bonus-borders ratio is 0.75 once again.
4. **Europe**: Europe is one of the hardest continents to hold, but it pays off with a 5-troop continental bonus. It has even 5 borders, setting the bonus-border ratio at 1. Europe has great expansion potential in North America and Africa. Due to the large number of borders which have to be guarded, many people use the European turtle strategy.
5. **North America:** Just like in the Classic map, North America is one of the best continents. It gives the player 5 extra troops per turn and has 4 borders. The bonus-border ratio is 1.25, the highest of all other continents, apart from Australia. Furthermore, the North American player can easily expand to South America and/or Europe. With Asia being usually fragmented, the North American player has also the ability to attack territories there (i.e. Kamchatka, Irkutsk, Yakutsk) to get a a card.
6. **Asia:** Asia is the hardest continent to hold, having even 6 borders. This is balanced out by the 7 extra troops it gives every turn, setting the bonus-borders ratio at 1.16. Other players will usually break into Asia to prevent you from getting the bonus. It is not advised to go for Asia early in the game.
