Empire XP (<1Mb):
Empire XP is a Freeware Windows version of the classic Risk boardgame.
The object of Empire XP is to occupy every territory on the map, eliminating all other players, thus conquering the world. There is an updated commercial version of this game which extends the original idea to individual countries. That is you can play not only country against country but regions of a country as well. He free version is basic, but plays exactly as the original did.
1. Playing the game
• The goal is to occupy every territory on the map of the world.
• Initial placement
• The computer will randomly distribute the territories.
• Then the game will pick a player at random to start placement.
• Place 21 armies on your territories:first select the territory and then select the number of armies you wish to place there.
• There is a limit of 3 armies a player may place on 1 territory during initial placement.
• Repeat this operation until all of your 21 armies have been placed.
2. When it's your turn
• You receive bonus armies for each continent you control (see above).
• If you exchange cards, you get extra bonus armies (see above)
• Make a decision, place armies or attack, you can't do both on a single turn !
3. Placing new armies
• You get 3 armies (or more) to reinforce your territories.
• Calculation: number of territories you occupy / 3 discarding any fraction
• This ends your turn.
4. Attacking
• Select the attacking territory (a territory occupied by you with at least 2 armies on it)
• Select the defending territory (an enemy territory lying next to the attacking territory)
• Enter the number of armies you want to use, no more than the attacking army – 1
• The computer simulates the battle and removes armies (at random) from the attacking and the defending territory until the attacker loses his armies or the defender is destroyed.
• Playing with predictable battles / by calculation: the computer compares the attacking and defending armies leaving behind the remainder of the biggest army.
• Move at least 1 army into the captured territory.
• You get a risk card (no more than 1 on a single turn).
• You may attack as many times as you like.
5. b]Moving armies[/b]
• You may move armies (no more than 7) from one of your territories into another territory occupied by you, providing that the territories are lying next to each other.
• This ends your turn.

There is a commercial version of this game with much improved graphics and new types of game play; and IMO a much better version of risk than the original.
