Hi. I am new to the site. I spent four and a half years on landgrab.net playing Risk, but I'm thinking that I may pick up and try elsewhere.

Hey buddy, welcome to dominating 12, this is a great site, has the nicest players around, and offers many options to choose from. You can try our variety of well made, creative maps that offer interesting gameplay, and may as well choose from options like team games, capitals, and domination.
Enjoy the site and welcome.

Welcome to D12 Augustus !

There is lots of information to answer any questions you might have in our forums, which are simple to use.
You obviously know how to play, but we do have slight variations to other sites and we also have a wide variety of options and settings for all our maps of which there are many.

If you have any questions at all, most people in your game will normally assist first hand within the game chat, but feel free to Private Message any staff and all will endeavour to assist you.
Most staff are recognisable straight from the Who's Online link where you may see (Game Attendant) after a players name, these people can assist with all general concerns. If you need further assistance or have a complaint, you can PM a Moderator. If you need technical help or have a serious concern, you can PM an Admin'. There is a brand new Help button on the Report tab within your games, so if you have anything that needs urgent attention, click it and any staff on line will rush to your aid and if need be, extend the clock until they have dealt with the situation / concern.

We have some settings that are very different to most other Risk sites, one of these being Same Time play, please read the game settings before committing to join a game, as you could be joining one of these games without wanting to and they require a fast connection & processor for you to become competitive at. If you do feel this is for you, please bare in mind that this type of game is still Beta and comes with possible bugs. All games that are Consecutive play of course are normal and bug free.
We also have a new Team setting where you can play in teams of 2,3 or 4 players and can communicate with each other in private and also reinforce each other, quite fun and quite difficult to master.

There are limitations to the amount of live & long term games you can play unless you choose to purchase premium membership. You also can't create games on some of the maps or use certain settings without this, but you will have access to far more features than most other sites allow and can join games that are premium only settings at a cost of tokens (which you earn as you play).

A list of current permanent staff is available to view here: http://www.dominating12.com/?cmd=tutorial&act=staff and as mentioned the Game Attendant can be seen either on the Who's Online link or on the Player Ranks page, both linked above. All the staff are voluntary, but all are very approachable and helpful.

I hope you enjoy the experience here and look forward to seeing how you square up to the challenges you may discover.

When you view your profile, you'll see 3 Reputation Scores, keeping these at or very near 100 is quite essential to whether or not you are taken seriously as a reputable player worthy of invite to higher level games. Please make it know that you are a seasoned veteran from another site and most high rankers will normally trust your word and be happy to answer any questions you might have during the game.

Very good luck, and I hope to see you fly up the ranks.

Haha, they would come at me with a chainsaw, if I introduced them to another site, lol.

I've looked at some of the maps. They are very elegant. I like that. Most are too small territory-wise for my tastes. Is it possible for me to make my own maps and submit them somehow?

haha yup, i've had that reaction too from my old friends and some are too stubborn to try it, but i tell them that it's not a competition..they don't have to choose, they can play both! while they wait for hours to play one game, I have played 50 :). Live play is good here, always a game!

aeronautic is the one to communicate with about maps.. he's the head cartographer!

About Maps.

We are actually on the look out for potential D12 cartographers.

We have a Map Creation forum, where initially if you have just an idea you can use the Map Suggestions thread.
If you are already proficient in making maps, you will just need to polish up on the requirements of D12, by reading the DXII Guide to Map Making which is selectable from the Resource page I recently made along with some other handy links for map makers.
