About

If you’ve ever played Risk, you know that there’s a lot of thought that goes into every game. With this project, we hope to make thinking easier by elucidating the risks involved with attacking.

​

The RISK: Global Domination app features a special kind of dice roll called a blitz. Blitzing allows you to attack with all of your troops until either player involved loses all of their troops. This brings the benefit of time - it is a lot faster to blitz, which can be very useful, especially when there are short turn timers.

​

The developers have included a nifty win percentage for attacks involving less than 100 troops. Yet sometimes you might find yourself in a game with a lot of troops. In these circumstances the game cannot calculate the chances of winning. This is where our project comes in.

​

The Risk Blitz Calculator calculates the chances of winning any attack of up to 15,000 troops per player. This is done by sheer mathematics, not a simulation. Furthermore, the calculator works with all settings, so that it can be used for ANY attack.

​

NOTE: Calculations are performed client-side (meaning it will be done on your own device instead of being sent to a server). If you are on a mobile device, you may not be able to calculate up to 15,000 troops per player. Please be aware of your own device's capabilities and proceed at your own risk.

​

We hope you find this valuable during gameplay. If you have any questions, ideas, other feedback, send JimothyYaDoofus a message through the RISK Discord server or email jimothyyadoofus@gmail.com.
