Maps to Conquer
We are blowing out the cartographic pipe here with three awesome new Maps to Conquer. They are each very different and will require some keen strategy to master.
I’ll Shepherd, our Carto-General gives you the run down.
Conflict Africa Map
Shepherd: For starters, RjBeals has created Conflict: Africa. It’s a continent map, but with a unique twist and a nod to recent history; the map features eight Conflict Zones that reflect civil wars and strife over the past four decades. Entering the regions of conflict comes with a price, and you need to weigh the risks and rewards in your quest to unite and bring peace to Africa.
This month we also introduce the first map developed in our Map Studios, The Philippines. KungFuDuet launched the idea for this map back in January and saw the process through rigorous discussion and debate. Once we were satisfied that the map idea was worthy of play, Widowmakers stepped in and turned it into a fine piece of art. Winning on this map will require controlling both land and sea, as you hop from island to island while keeping a watchful eye on the navies lurking off shore.
The Philippines Map
Finally, this month we offer up our first of what we hope will be many Bonus Maps, available exclusively to Strategist and Commander class users. Duck and Cover may look familiar to some, as it recalls an era when an atomic blast was something that could be survived by watching a short instructional film about hiding under a desk. It’s a small map for a time when it was a small world after all, and superpowers were poised to lob bombs at each other from afar.

Wow!
Nice work guys. Really nice to be a member of this awesome site. 😉
Forward MajCom!
If you think the games are repetitive, then you’re not at MC! Nice job as always guys.
Conflict Africa will blow your strategic minds!!!
Way to go!!!! Once again, MajCom exceeds our expectations!
Also – coming soon for africa will be more standard colored troop containers. We launched with enough, and the “multi-colored” containers were meant for team play, but I will create/add more normal colors very soon. PM me with any feedback on the multi-colored containers – I’ve had mixed reviews of them, but may keep them if you all like them !
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. the best mapmakers and the best maps are on this site.
great job… just when i thought it couldnt get any better you guys nail it right out of thepark!!!
Amazing what you guys keep coming up with. Compliments on your creations !!! And thank you for making this such a fabulous site. See you somewhere on the new maps 🙂
You guys are really great at making RISK a fulltime site which one can play online against other RISK buffs!!!
Thanks

Playing on-line risk has been great experience for me. The Major Command community is what brings me back time and again. I had thought that my play was pretty good until I came here, only to find, well.. that it wasn’t! I look forward to rising sufficiently in skill level to play on the more sophisticated and challenging maps. Keep up the good work guys. Nice job, excellent site and community.
