Poland getting invaded by Austria and Russia. They can just never seem to find a break

[samuelhyde]

Alexander kinda, ya know, Alexandered his way across the entire map. 10/10 historically correct.

[tfos]

Can you imagine the amount of "[insert civ here] has denounced you" would occur just by existing

[nicholassheavils]

42 other civs : exist

Greece : it's free real estate

And when Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer.

2 lessons from this video :
-those which control the corners have better chance (but it's logical and all those who already played Risk know it)
-those which sign a pact with another nation have better chance : Greeks were clearly allied with Egyptians there : Egyptians could survive longer thanks to it and Greeks got some support (4:30)

Greece had 3 advantages. 1st corner of the map(less enemy), 2nd powerful hoplites, 3rd warhawk A.I. leader

[armokgodofblood]

The starts in the corners had the advantage of only being able to be attacked from three sides instead of six.

[rougehawk]

As soon as I saw Greece in the corner with three cities, I knew how it would play out.

I kept waiting for Gandhi's surprise return where he nukes the entire freakin' map.

[Ricewarrior]

Your Troops are too close to our borders!

[Burgerfanny]

In the end, the empires that made the final four were the ones that originated in the four corners with no enemy on two sides. Even if attempting this on a round world map to level the playing field, the civs that start on the top and bottom would still have the advantage of one protected side. Interesting, though. I bet this could be done a thousand times and get a thousand different results.

[toritwopointoh]

that was an intense six and a half minutes.

shows you what a big difference cannons make

[bestwl]

Realized that the civilizations placed at the corners of the map gets the upperhand in expansion as they have lesser enemies to deal with.

[IamDoubleP]

A battle of the 4 corners essentially. Anyone which was stuck in more than 2 front war got demolished.

[DavidGonzalez-sril]

As soon as I saw Greece with Riflemen I knew everyone else was fucked.

[wezu]

That ending when Greece finishes off ever other civ feels like Plague Inc. Evolved.

[BenHyle]

Kinda surprised by the Zulu's lack of expansion, but not shocked by Alexander being Alexander.
