This map is the biggest pile ofshit in the campaign so far. No matter in which direction you go you will find AI enemies. But one of those AI enemies is always allowed to take over the entire north including all islands raking in big units while the player has to fight the two idiot AI in the south.

I don't mind a challenge but I find these rigged games disgusting, especially since I cannot just skip them.

It's very lopsided. The one AI always has the advantage and eventually the overwhelming numbers to win by attrition. If human player could start closer to the mid map it would be more fair. My opinion..

"Very hard, but beat after about 10 tries! Rewarding to finally beat this pain in the ASS! hint, go up through new Zealand to take all of asia, hold the entry points in Oz on the way. While doing that, take the west OZ territories up the left. Then when you bring your armies down from asia sweep down through OZ attacking weaker areas to gain more armies. start to build a defence in Tasmania to stop the enemy getting through round to asia."
NONSENSE. That method doesn't work because you don't have enough armies to go up the west OZ territories AND go up to take asia through New Zealand. This map has made me quit playing this game. If I can't win, I can't play any more maps so there is no point in playing anymore.

Almost impossible as straight away you're at a disadvantage from placement of armies and the AI's never go for each other as hard as they do the player which again is a disadvantage of practically 3 against 1

Not winnable. Prevents going to all further levels. Needs to be altered or removed within this billing cycle or bye-bye for me.

Nice map but impossible to play. You start on Australia and either go North, where an AI will be hold you off while growing immensely strong. Or go east to the AI born to lose but always dragging you down. When you do kick its ass, the north player starts taking you down. Cant skip it. Will go for other game.

Review by GameDaddy on 12/10/2017.
Unlike the other maps so far (except the first boss map). This appears to be a "One Solution Attrition Map" where every move must follow a specific pattern of play. It is frustrating to replay game after game to find that pattern. I'll find it, only because there are maps I want to reach beyond it. But my chain of attachment to this game is broken by this map and I am looking for another good match to tak it's place. Giving an optional set of starts would really help.

Review by martinbartin on 7/9/2018.
What a fucking pain in the ass. I guess the map is great but since I can not win against these super aggressive and overwhelming AI's it's just making me disliking the game. It seems that I need 100 troops and even that wouldn't be sufficient. Please balance the starting points or the AI or the map .. I don't know, but this is making me stop playing the game.

Review by forbonusscore on 3/19/2019.
I have played this map since November and there is no winning it. It's infuriating. The map devolves into the AI massing up a huge ball of armies and steam rolling everything. There is no way for an "underdog" losing team to come from behind. It's all just about who can build the steamroll the fastest. Since there is no element of luck, the numbers don't allow it. This map is especially bad at this but I can't put my finger on exactly why...

hopeless, hopeless, hopeless, Hopeles as shit, we will have next year a bigger house. There we will have a big Room with a table for big board games...i tell you that will be fun , no computer shit and timewastting crap. Real fun and not having to deal with bad programmed game's and frustrations that make your Life misarable.its always the same fyckin shit..some motherfuckers progamming ut and decide who can winn it....and if you spend cash on that crap then you got good chance to winn eventually

I won it today...not because i did get better or find the right strategy,no. The computer let me win after I comment above. Those computer games are in the hands of those who programming and set those algorithms

Review by Nathan on 3/8/2016.
Solid map. There is room for improvement, however.

First, Japan is too isolated. I recommend a second link, probably from Kanto to some point on New Guinea or Papua New Guinea.

Next, I don't think of Sri Lanka as part of Oceania, and I think it makes the Sumatran corner too valuable. I would eliminate Sri Lanka.

Third, a link from Brisbane to New Caledonia would be both realistic and helpful.

Also, the bottom third of the map is empty. You don't need it. Rotate the global view northward (bringing everything down) until it's centered about on West Papua. Then you can expand the size of all the territories, some of which are very small and hard to distinguish and/or view.

Finally, and this is very nitpicky, technically there is a lot of Oceania (southern Pacific islands) that is omitted from the map.

Review by Yuhan Zhang on 6/30/2019.
There are a few problems with this map:
Japan, Philippines, Hainan, Taiwan etc are a part of East / South-East Asia, not Northern Asia.
Australia is so overly powerful that controlling Australia guarantees victory. Hence players who start in Japan have close to no chance of winning considering how far Japan is from Australia on the map. There should be more sea routes connecting Japan and the rest of the map. 2 is not enough.

A tad bit long, but overall fun. It just gets to the point where you've clearly won and it takes a long time to finish out the map with all the little islands. But a fun one nonetheless.

The first map I had to try a few times to succeed. The limitation of having to leave 1 unit change the pace of the game, I liked it!

The key here to break the bonus of the Northwest, otherwise you will get swarmed every time...

Great challenge.. Thanks!

Challenging map. The strategy that did it, was to emphasise on creating wandering armies to create havoc elsewhere, crippling the competition.

Review by AntonSQ on 3/13/2022.
Many of your maps have the same downside. It is difficult to identify at a glance which territories belong to a particular region because the colours used for adjacent regions are often very similar. Contrasting colours for adjacent regions would make it much easier to distinguish them.

Also, the numbered squares in each region are sometimes not as clear as they could be for similar reasons. Perhaps black numbers in white squares would be clearer.

Better than Risk? Risk has been my favourite strategy game since it first came out but I would certainly put Warzone on a par with it. Warzone has more maps and greater variety so perhaps it is better than Risk. Some of the recent maps up to this point have been very challenging but I have so far been able to work out the successful strategy each time even though it has taken a number of tries - which is good.

Thanks for the game. Very absorbing and enjoyable.

This map is bull. Lots of times you attack with a superior force and you still can't take a location? It always happens too when the opponent has to win to stay competitive in the game too.

Review by okasan on 11/6/2015.
Wonderful map, really well balanced. There's a choice of island-hopping or building the Australian mainland, which leads to a great show-down. The lay-out is beautiful and progressive, with only the one, rather unavoidable, cul-de-sac that is Japan. One missing link: Gorontalo -> Halmahara
Response by map creator Imperator on 11/6/2015
Thanks for letting me know about The Missing connection :) To be honest I think it was just a bit of carelessness that led to japan being so linear. It was the first island I drew, and I ended up just not connecting it to anything else I guess :P. When I do an update I may either add a connection to Western Pacific or remove it completely.

Very difficult but beat it on the 4th try. Focus on southern Australia first (continue up the western side as you can) while holding off troops in the west. Then move up through austrailia. Once you gain control over Australia then go after islands. That's how I won it.
