Tip: If you feel like having your troops express themselves, you can now add speech dialogs. To do so, add some text after a single quote or # in one of your lines of output. The last pod to move/spawn will be the one that displays the message.

To finish with, let's have a look at our favorite Replay of the Week. We decided to call it: "The Revenge of the Yellow team". Platinum Rift is so close to the Risk game! It proves that however desperate a situation may seem, everything is still left to play for. See how the Yellow army, completely isolated in New Zealand, magnificently struggled against the Pink team for a while, then made a totally unexpected yet impressive comeback, won over the whole Eurasian continent and finally fought its way towards victory...
