I understand that some of the maps are more complicated, but I still recognize similar limitations in all of them. I'm getting bored quickly, but I think that perhaps speed free-for-all games might provide the next step in strategic potential. What keeps you interested?
well, you have pretty much played the same types of games, and what, 17 total? you haven't even scratched the surface of the types of games or the maps and their different bonus formats. sooo, this thread is more than premature in my opinion. hell, you have only played 4 or 5 maps!!! you haven't even played a team game!!! how about no cards? fog of war? you have played 17 games, all pretty much the same type of games. poke around before you declare yourself bored with CC... why not set a rank goal or something similar? give yourself something to strive for? good luck!-0

First, try to raise your score as highest as possible (then everybody will see that you are really good) and Second, try different variations (then everybody will see you are a true strategyst and not just good at one specific map).

Sure, the basic strategy of risk is (oh no! I'm revealing the secrets of the universe!) 1. get territories 2. get countries 3. get cards - in an 8 player, non FoW, escalating cards setting, but I haven't yet played one game where I could successfully predict how all the x factors would react even in the heat of a game. Do I leave my border open here or there? My opponent might get lucky and break through those 6 neutrals, or maybe he might go the long way around and attack my train of 6 one army territories? The best computer program cannot beat the best human player in chess because there is no set way to play.
There's always a new trick to learn. That's why I'm still a sergeant.

I build up my units in escalating noone likes it, but I try it, see where it leads me. I would hope if someone played me in a series of 10 games I would hope from the next drop that would not know my strategy until it's too late. It doesn't always turn out like that but the reason I stay interested is that. If I gave you an essay to do for homework over the summer for school about how you win each map on CC depending on each drop from each players perspective you would struggle.
At the end of the day see how every player in the game can win, see how their current strategies work and how they fail, take them on and adapt to fit. If you build up a variety of strategies and you change each turn you will be suprised how much fun you can get.

Ahhhh I see and slaughtering newbees is that not fun? Washing your hands in their own blood by ripping their hearts out and mowing them down even when they bested you for a few moves? I see by your medals you only have 2, a skull medal you seem to be thrilled with? Hummmmmm I am a killer yesss, but I enjoy a bit of other agendas than simply mowing down weaklings.
