Lux delux 6.51 download5/26/2023 ![]() Didn't even attempt to follow wiki-formatting standards. ![]() I removed the following section since it was: Thanks, Dan Slotman 21:01, 28 December 2006 (UTC) Reply This is an article about Risk, not a strategy guide for Risk. Here is a version that had a lot of strategies which were later removed due to original research. The problem with adding strategies without citing them is that the article ends up with too many strategies and a lot of terrible strategies. The current strategy section is covered in the 1993 edition, and as you say, it is very basic. b_cubed 05:36, 28 December 2006 (UTC) Reply It would be great if you could add anything found in your manual. Perhaps, I'll do some adding of my own in the future. Furthermore, everyone knows that you should go after a weaker player to collect his country cards and be able to cash your own in sooner. As the strategy section stands right now, it is really quite an understatement of basic strategy for anyone who has ever played. Even if it isn't in the manual, which I'm pretty sure it is, I still think it needs to be added. I'd have to check but I'm pretty sure my manual for RISK mentions the creation of alliances and cross-boarding in strategy and what not. Dan Slotman 16:36, 15 September 2006 (UTC) Reply I think the strategy section needs a little bit more. If someone really wants to improve their game they can undoubtedly do their own search just as easily. A fast Google search pulled up a couple board game webpages offering strategy advice, but even summarizing their advice would be plagerism and waste of time. But we can't just write what we think is good strategy off the top of our heads here, right? I suppose you could list things that are suggested by the game instructions or something? ErikHaugen 05:07, 15 September 2006 (UTC) Reply No, you are right of course. So on the Monopoly page you could say that is a strategy and cite the article. ![]() Personally I thought that the bullet list was good, do you think we could restore that without this same problem reoccuring? Dan Slotman 17:59, 14 September 2006 (UTC) Reply Well, can we provide sources? I mean, if I just write down a list of things that I think are good advice, that is "original research," right? I saw an article by a statistician that ran some kind of models to find out the best strategy for Monopoly the conclusion was you should go for orange or green, get 3 houses on each property, etc. By allowing any strategy, we leave the door open to various terrible pet strategies. ErikHaugen 09:47, 14 September 2006 (UTC) Reply Agreed. I strongly suspect that it is all original research, and not very good at that. I'm removing the strategies section, other than the dice probabilities. ErikHaugen 09:47, 14 September 2006 (UTC) Reply But in general, it's hard to see how stalemates are a part of this game. Dslotman 17:30, 29 August 2006 (UTC) Reply Stalemates happen pretty easily if you don't play with cards for some reason. How should this be handled? For example, in my experience the following claim isn't true, but I can easily see how it could be true for other players: "Many games degenerate into stalemates between North America, South America, and Africa vs Australia, Asia, and Ukraine, with Europe split between them." Dslotman 05:27, 29 August 2006 (UTC) Reply P.S., who is Gabriel Cerda Balderas? Google's got nothing. ![]() I'm just as guilty of this as previous contributors because I just added a bunch more. There is a lot of (as already indicated) unsupported opinion throughout the strategy section.
