Warlight

Basically a more customizable version of the boardgame Risk, and it's online. Anyone in FoA has probably seen the screenshots, but as far as I can tell, the game hasn't really been mentioned off of the IRC chat.

It's pretty simple to pick up and play, there's single player tutorials, versus AI, multiplayer with random people from around the world, or even just local games with the community- not counting the hundreds of maps, gameplay variations, and teams that are possible. Games can last a couple hours of tense back and forth play or several days, progressing a turn or two per. It's pretty fun, especially with friends, so hopefully some more of you will give it a try and see if it's something you'd be into.

Post your own game links, screencaps, strategies, whatever here. :D

Edit, so there's a game you can spectate here. Unfortunately, the only way to make a private game is to add all the players manually, so if you're interested leave your Warlight name and/or a link to your profile and we can get something set up.

I recall seeing this game before.

Personally I like Risk Legacy. Probably one of the best Risk games out there. Not only does it have tons of replay value (even after you go through all of the little packets that you open after every game or 'achievement' you unlock), but because of the diversity in the factions you can choose from. Also because of this;

Is Legacy online? I did a little Googling but all I turned up is board games, not so easy to play a physical game with you guys. :p

There's also a crapton more variations than just what I listed above, you can alter the attack success ratios and toggle fog (basically has a bunch of settings ranging from None to Dense Fog, they all obscure enemy units in different ways), maps can range from the standard earth to fantasy settings to fractals to absolutely ridiculous ones with 3000 territories (you can make maps too, huge plus), can even change the starting distribution if you don't like it.

Hit me up with your name, or a link to your profile, we'll hook you up with a game :D Usually what we do if we're all unable to sit down and chat for a couple hours is a multi day game, as long as you make a move within 3 days you're safe from being kicked. There's been a few people expressing interest, so it'd be cool to get an introductory game going or something.
