A friend from school invited me to a game. After that I started playing multi-day open games, and slowly found the strategic community. Once that happened, I was hooked.

I found Warlight through Kongregate. I made account in 2011 then quit.

I was *bored* and all the online games were lame. I came back in 2014.

I am more active since 2016.

I never really cared for Risk. The map was imbalanced as hell - I always played with 4-5 players; so the winning strat was to get Australia or South America and let the other players weaken each other until you have accumulated enough armies to start steamrolling everyone (still this God-forsaken map carries on to Warzone, not just for one, but as the first 2 templates in QuickMatch). The late-game cards were also very game-changing that it shifted the whole game into capturing just one single territory every turn and keeping your stack unbeatable instead of protecting bonuses.

And then, one of my friends introduced me to Risk 2210 AD. That was a game changer. You have only 5 turns in the game, but the map was improved drastically.

You have the Land, Water, Nuclear, Diplomat and Lunar Commanders, which attack and defend with a 8-sided die. The cards were different, not just mindless troop reinforcement. The map was a lot more balanced, with more bonuses and Australia finally can be attacked from more than one side.

You could go to the moon, which had even more bonuses.


This game was so beautiful but it had no online version. My friends and I were looking for a way to play Risk 2210 AD online, and Warlight was the closest we could find. I love that you could have simultaneous turns in Warlight.

WarLight Became a craze in my school back in 2014, Dozens of people made accounts.
I joined the crowd a bit late but as people started dropping off I never did! It's kept me going for many a year.

The game went through a revival with my friends about 8 months ago but people started to leave again until about 3 weeks ago!
It is still a game I enjoy thoroughly and lets me connect with them over a single common game.

Thank you Fizzer!

P.S My friends prefer the name WarLight

^Wish I went to your school
It would probably get blocked in 2 days though.

It's a pretty fun time. But I'm the only one in the group who cares about The Strat Community.
(I beat them all in a Round Robin Tourny on Strategic 1v1)

I randomly stumbled across this on Kongregate, and I realized that this is what I've been missing in my life. I now have no life outside of this game.





please help

My friends prefer the name WarLight

Google Hangouts

^ same. I was testing the waters with Google Hangouts with some friends, because we weren't liking Skype much anymore, and we found Warlight in the games. That was the first and only time we'd ever use hangouts, but we stuck to Warlight for a while. I'm the only one of them who still plays now.

Never played Risk. Several years ago, I found some funny online flashgame where armies were replaced by numbers, moving around in separate territores. I have no idea of the name, but enjoyed it a lot, and later (autumn 2015), when I searched for something similar, I stumbled upon singleplayer WL levels on a Czech game site. Played it for two evenings, then dicovered there is even site with the name WarLight, logged in and I am hooked ever since.
