ya you'll wanna take over the whole North America....for ppl that really dont know the strategy of Risk (cuz thats exactly what the style is) youll wanna stack your fan population on the outsides of your territory. There is no point to have 5 million fans in the middle because teams wont attack there. Also, if you lose a lot like the devs did on the stream youll basically wanna retreat and make a strong core of probably 4-5 tiles instead of being so spread out and being vulnerable. I know a ton of ppl are gonna get greedy and try to grow too fast and get completely torn up too. Trial by error is gonna be big for ppl that have never played Risk type games
