With neutral bot the player doesn't go MIA for a full ten mins. (Which locks in their placement at that point in time) I don't want to be giving players who disconnect higher placement, nor do I want their AI to place more troops on the board than the bare minimum
Feel like I'm forever bitching about the noob slam problem but when you lose an 11 stack to an 8 stack in balanced Blitz and your opponent still has 2 troops left over it really stops being laughable in any way
To go from laughter at 3:50 to “Oh, $h!t” 34 seconds later… YOWRCH!!! 😂 Even with that roller-coaster fake reprieve “nope” in the middle😮 That turned around quickly!

Hi Pete, always love your games. Your comments on the relative speeds of the mobile and PC versions of the game - on an ipad (dunno about android tablets) with a keyboard and mouse attached, I find it almost competitive. The main distinction is that the mobile version does not recognise the mouse scroll wheel, slowing troop numbers selection. But it would be a simple change to make...
I was thinking that purple botted on purpose as soon as they returned. As the first player they were not in a good spot in the trade order so by scumbag botting they can card skip without making it look like they card skipped. While they do lose a few cards from this play, they make up for it by preserving troops because nobody has any incentive to hit what they perceive to be a neutral bot, which means they attack each other instead, thereby making purple stronger by comparison since their troops still get placed every turn while they are gone.
Man Pete, I have a new found respect for those at the top of the leaderboard... I climb it get in the 200's even 100's a few times only to take one noob slam and get dropped down to off leaderboard or as I write currently 888 (I dont have alts). ... Just last night "Europeee Progggggresssive CAPITALS" dude slams my 6 cap turn one... loses badly, turns around turn 2 slams it again at 10 v 10 gets positive roll. I am sitting on 2. cap gets snaked by another player of course, I am out by turn 3 in 6th....Thats the Risk we have I guess. OH and if you have SMG ear... "glove slap" emoji is a fantastic idea, also a "Fuck you" type of emoji... an emoji with the gravitas to convey how much your think of some players. ..sorry, I am a little vindictive like you.
I’m so surprised i’m not the only in the boat, I dropped from low GM to high expert just constantly being noob slammed, both in meta settings and in river town advanced prog caps
Strategically correct to stall is a very interesting statement. Especially considering previous games. I don't really like the whole idea of neutral bot. Players turn into pseudo blizzards is dumb. If a player raises a white flag in surrender then leaving their troops on the board makes no sense to me 🤷
Definitely think the MIA after a bot out should either be on a much shorter timer or be based on a number of turns rather than a timer. It would also be nice to have a similar option for automatic bot. I like the gameplay that automatic bot creates but I don't like that building up a lot of troops and then botting out is a frustratingly common and consistent strategy for getting 2nd place
I know blue took you straight after but I have no clue how yellow didn't kill you in the first game - white leaving unguarded cap was too tempting I guess but I expect he could have done both
Pete! You fool! You could have capped in Siam in the second game! You probably didn't realize that you can guard all of the Australia territories from a single position in SIam
No Bill Burr or Jimmy Carr? I didn't know about Julia Louis-Dreyfus's background, but that explains a lot. She sort of has an inherited wealth mentality in real life.
Hey Pete, I recently discovered your channel at a stressful time in my life and, though I don't play Risk (yet), I find your vids have helped de-stress me at the end of the day. So thanks! I don't often subscribe to youtube channels but I will subscribe to yours. Why didn't you kill white at ~30 minute mark?
Noob slams are a big bother at the moment. Almost every game right now someone slams into a random opponent at some point for no obvious reason but their own boredom. Its super annoying especially when you get hit for no reason after investing an hour and a half into a game.
This game is not a competitive game. It's just a funny ffa based on gambling aka dice rolling. So stop complaining about "noob slams". For example I only play this game to pick a target and destroy him. Usually my target is not friendly and plays to win.
@@gdgd5194 This game is free for all and uses a dice mechanic, therefore it can’t be competitive is a weird take. Both things have nothing to do with how competitive a game can be played and just show that you don’t have much experience with board games. Also, I don’t see why I should complain about noob slams, I assume my opponents are playing the game the way it is meant to be played and trying to reach the best possible placement they can. So, I can complain if someone destroys this effort in a whim or because of ignorance, after a lot of time has been invested into the game. If you play the game just to destroy other people’s efforts and to make them feel miserable that shows you aren’t a nice person, but I see no reason to conclude from this self-revelation that other players share your bad habits and character traits.
@@Gobboleone First of all, this game is made so even noobs with no skill can have a chance to win it, skill ceiling is extremely low (it was made for people like you). I was beating grandmasters with ease since day 1. You think it is competitive because you have never competed in any actual competitive game. It has no competitive structure whatsoever and is intended as a family/friends game. It's same as playing card games with a bare minimum of strategy/tactics involved. That is why top risk players have to come up with strict game settings for it to be actually playable in competitive environment. So you can sulk in your tears while I will have fun. And if you ever get into same room as me, pray that we don't end up in 1v1 situation because you are way worse than you imagine to be :D
I would be so pissed after magenta noob slammed and then quit like that. He literally fucked over you’re start and then dips. I don’t understand how you remain so calm in those situations.
Can anyone tell me the thinking behind where you put your capital? Specifically the part where he was counting when deciding between east Africa and Egypt?
Prog Cap positions are usually chosen with the future in mind. Late game, when the trades are massive, you want a cap position bordering as many territories as possible to avoid getting card blocked. In the Classic map, the Middle East and a few others are ideal.
Some enjoy early game capitals that defend bonuses, like the Greenland capital would've blocked access to either Europe or North America. Siam or Indonesia protect the Australia bonus, but it can be blocked with only one or 2 territories left to them. (Letting them take the territories bordering their capital but not the next ones, the capital often being the biggest stack.)
4:51 Holy Smokes Pete, that happened quick. Looking forward to see how you go on your feet, He's so open to everyone else. 9:51 what are the chances, you have a trade on 3 AND you have the +2 in the very territory you are stacking in, that's lucky. 11:40 that might have been the stupidest game i have ever seen you play that I can recall. 14:37 The laughing watching your face and voice in pain. You've got it bad sir.
I was looking through the comments, and I don't think I saw it. What was the percentage of that 11 v 8 cap roll? Yes, it's possible.... But almost shouldn't....
100:31 - Why didn´t put purple his troops to egypt and ran for the Alaska cap? Too risky? I.m.o. it would be a better move than the attack on black a few minutes later.
Not trying to be mean, you’re not naturally funny (of course practice always improves your skill) but you are naturally great at strategy and teaching! 🙂 and I’d say that to your face because I know you would know I wasn’t trying to be mean hearted just being honest with you.❤
Next set is 40. Green has 48 troops at 5 cards. 35 of those troops are on cap. A 35 cap 'should' kill 70ish troops. I think the kill is definitely viable but I go quite negative and end my turn sitting on 5 cards myself being the fish.
I think I prefer neutral bots because it means that they have the least impact possible on the board and they often don't give any advantage to fake bot-outers
pete i have seen this line of play by purple before i refer to it as the scumbag skip strat, its only ever done from the first seat, and neutral bot and prog because it cap stacks and ,maintains exterior positions, and ensures you get the 15 instead of the 4, no one will also skip as the correct move because its a fucking neutral bot now and its simply incorrect to skip, and then boom people change their gameplan as a result, sometime you see the other human players slam each other and jostle for the right to stack on the bot cap, its unequivocally scumbag skip strat at its finest, and it usually goes unpunished because people need to stop letting people fucking bot out and come back and then all of a sudden be fighting for 1st from a totally abandoned game if SMG wont do anything, we as a community need to punish the scum bag botters and all spam the angry emoji when a botter comes back, like yo all wars should ceasefire until that botter is effectively cardblocked and killed
Someone capped next to me in my last game so I rolled it. 😂 To their credit I suppose they did not bot out right away but they rolled it back and won 😂 so I rolled them back and won. And then they rolled me back again ! And they won! Then they bot out. 😮😮 I did well that game but I didn't win. They were a master. 😂
Why was it strategic to take your full turn after purple botted?
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing
With neutral bot the player doesn't go MIA for a full ten mins. (Which locks in their placement at that point in time) I don't want to be giving players who disconnect higher placement, nor do I want their AI to place more troops on the board than the bare minimum
Pete went from "I am not worry at all" to "ok😢, how to not lose" in one minute 😂
I've never had a t1 like that before
4:04 - "I am not worried about this game" 4:52 - "How do I not lose this game". Love it.
My entire life flashed before my eyes
I can't stop laughing. Woke both my kids up on the 4 caps with belly laugh
;)
Hey Pete, I found you channel a week ago, really liking the content and when you get philosophical, keep up the good work dude!
I’m glad to finally see a game that happens to me frequently.

On a lighter note I think a glove slap would be a fantastic in game emoji
The noob slams are soo bad at the moment past 3 days I’ve lost games and been fed to stronger opponents
I wonder why
I went from 15k rank points to 7k in last 2 days
Botfestation
Mfs mad they tax checks haven’t hit yet lol 😂
Stop playing aus
That first game is always what happens to me lmao
Me and the boys capping next to each other in that 2nd game xD

31:44 also an 8 cap hit.
Lost 20 😂
Way she goes
I personally like non-neutral bots. It makes the game a little bit harder and not so easy and you can possibly use the bot to your advantage.
Agreed. The non-neutral bot spends troops. You can't have a successful scumbag bot out that way. And in caps, they'll eventually go off cap.
Ah yes the good old days: Star trek the next Generation, Seinfeld, Cheers, Red and Green, Due South and X-files.
I know blue took you straight after but I have no clue how yellow didn't kill you in the first game - white leaving unguarded cap was too tempting I guess but I expect he could have done both
Pete! You fool! You could have capped in Siam in the second game! You probably didn't realize that you can guard all of the Australia territories from a single position in SIam
The sea was angry that day, my friends
Is it a Titleist?
52:27 do you like Louis CK's work? , his sitcom " Louie " is a masterpiece
This may be the only time I have seen the scumbag bot-out strategy work that well. It didn't in the end, of course.
Hey I noticed that I can't press enter when I attack I DON'T know what to do 😢
No Bill Burr or Jimmy Carr?
I didn't know about Julia Louis-Dreyfus's background, but that explains a lot. She sort of has an inherited wealth mentality in real life.

Not happy to see you lose that first game, but it is good to see it’s not only me who gets sui slammed early in games sometimes!
going with 12 against a 8 cap is so incredible dumb and the noob gets the lucky dice what a classic xD
edit: wtf is that 4 cap chain hahahahaha jesus
We gotta get unlucky some times eh!
The chain is just the greatest thing i have seen all day
Pete, since caps dice are so broken with balanced blitz, have you considered playing the same settings with true random dice?
Yes I have!
@@TheKillPeteStrategyand
Pink is my kind of player! That's the only way to play this game reasonably x)
Clearly a winning strategy
Hey Pete, for new players would you recommend playing ranked or casual too improve at the game?
Ranked. It’s identical to casual except less novices and beginners.
Just play what's fun for you. That's the way I learn best when I'm having a good time

Neutral bot is the way to go. Jerry Seinfeld's standup is definitely underrated and over shadowed by the success of the show.

There should be
I think I prefer neutral bots because it means that they have the least impact possible on the board and they often don't give any advantage to fake bot-outers
I think those who prefer active bots do so because statistically, the bot will likely ruin other players' game and not yours.

if SMG wont do anything, we as a community need to punish the scum bag botters and all spam the angry emoji when a botter comes back, like yo all wars should ceasefire until that botter is effectively cardblocked and killed
Is the leaderboard based on time played or skill or win count or what?
Placements based on current points. So losing to a GM is not to bad, losing to a beginner is worse.
How come sometimes you get 2 men on a territory you turn in and sometimes you dont? Asking 4 a friend
You get the plus two from the first card you trade so you can choose which territory you get it on by switching the cards
Unfortunately you're not even safe from noob slams in the KPO 2, lol. 2 for 2 in the opening rounds 😢
