Warzone (formerly known as Warlight) is a mostly-free online indie Risk variant, first published by Fizzer in 2008, and since then continuously updated by him and a team of moderators. In the game, you can control numerical armies and move them across territories you have captured, and use them to conquer new lands, which may either be neutral or held by a different player or AI. The goal is to take all the territories within a bonus, which grants you extra armies you may deploy each turn and eventually defeat other players and take over the world.One of the special things of the game is the user's ability to create and upload their own maps for others to play. In addition, there are many aspects of the game rules that can be customised, including the amount of randomness (or lack thereof) involved in attacks.In 2020 a spinoff called Warzone Idle was launched. As the name suggests, this is an Idle Game in which the aim is to conquer all territories on a map through generating armies and money. When disambiguation is required the original game is referred to as Warzone Classic.

comment
To win 'The Italian Hunt' and 'Calling All Reinforcements' you should ignore the whole expand and conquer concept and just rush to kill the commander to trigger an Instant-Win Condition. 'Calling All Reinforcements' is worse off in this regard as it doesn't even tell you about said commander, who is in southern Italy.

"Risk"-Style Map: Each level has a map derived from a Warzone Classic map. As in the main game, the player can only conquer adjacent territories on the map.

Karl Marx Hates Your Guts: The original implementation of markets had resources available at a fixed price much higher than the player could sell them for. This was changed in an update so that the initial price now starts lower and increases as the player buys from them, which meant that the player can make some profit but not an unlimited amount.

 Warzone (Video Game) / int_62259825
comment
Nintendo Hard: The singleplayer campaign starts off relatively easy, but slowly ups the ante. Community consensus is that "Caesar's Palace" is the point where it gets to infuriatingly frustrating hard. Each level also has a 'gold star' which requires you to beat a level in X number of turns (usually meaning you have to expand every turn), not only requiring players play perfectly start to finish but also hope that RNG works in your favour.

New Game Plus: The player can ascend after beating Europe Huge, which resets level progression but retains everything else (advancements and artifacts in particular). At a certain point the player can then super ascend, which resets everything except artifacts you can select to bring forward (initially a maximum of two), but grants a perk each time.

Guide Dang It!
 Warzone (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8
comment
Guide Dang It!: Not that the base game needs much explaining, but some of the levels in the singleplayer campaign has a different goal than just "expand and take out your neighbours as fast as you can". A few examples: In 'World War 2320' there's a boss that you have to fight. The game never explains that Despite seemingly having 0 armies, the boss actually has 400 strength, as indicated by the tiny, easily-missable-if-you-don't-zoom-in figure. To win 'The Italian Hunt' and 'Calling All Reinforcements' you should ignore the whole expand and conquer concept and just rush to kill the commander to trigger an Instant-Win Condition. 'Calling All Reinforcements' is worse off in this regard as it doesn't even tell you about said commander, who is in southern Italy.

Emergent Gameplay: As a Risk-like game, there is little context provided and hard rules are only combat-oriented, yet players have come up with diplomatic games and scenarios with made-up rules. Those tend to provide pretty good roleplay.

Fog of War: The game has six different levels of fog. The default level has adjacent territories and their army counts visible to the player and further territories fogged; there are also lower levels (no fog and light fog) and higher levels (dense, heavy and complete fog — the last one having every territory that is not the player's fogged, even adjacent ones).
