Hey everyone so a few years ago I picked up Risk 2210 and played it with some friends of mine fairly often. We started kicking around some ideas and I went a little crazy with it and churned out a bunch of ideas. Some of them leverage off existing variants and some are brand new. I combined them all into a text document and forgot about it for a couple years. I decided to post it here so that if anyone wants to use any of it or create something from it they can feel free to do so, I also hope that it helps to spawn new ideas. If you have any questions please feel free to ask it's in its original form so some of it might not make any sense but for the most part I think you can pick up what i was doing.Enjoy!

Time Displacement Device – You can make 1 Dimensional Travel without penalty or you may restore Antarctica to it's original state if it has been subject to global warming.
Humanity has spread throughout the galaxy now controlling 70% of it despite being locked in a perpetual civil war. Seeing that by remaining apart they will perish the remaining xenos have formed an alliance (the Ac'hra ta empire) and seeking to strike a crushing blow to humanity are invading earth. Having fought for so long and seeking to add another weapon to their arsenal the aliens created the machines they then became self aware and have formed their own factions seeking to control the galaxy for themselves. Humanity in fighting the xenos and machines sought to reforge the machines into a weapon for themselves and merged themselves with the machines forming the symbionts however seeing themselves being turned into weapons the symbionts revolted and formed their own factions and now seek to consume all flesh and metal and forge them into a perfect race.
Ground Forces – You must have either a Land Commander or a Diplomat (or it's equivalent) in order to attack Land territories.
Garrison – no more than 12 MODs may be in a territory at a time. Any MODs beyond this point are destroyed at the end of the turn.
Quarantine – Attacks may only be made to territories which are adjacent to the territories you control at the beginning of your turn. You are immune to all Swarm, Zombie, and Marauder attacks and effects.
Mine Field *2L – Any time an invasion is declared into this territory roll a d3 the attacker loses that many reinforcements. When either an attacker or defender rolls a 1 they lose an additional MOD, resolve conflicts as normal. At the beginning of the controlling players turn they gain d4 energy.
Base Complex *1L – Defenders may use up to 3 dice when defending this territory. This territory counts as a capital for all intents and purposes.
Sprawl Ruins *2L – Blocks movement between the territories in which it lies. Territories adjacent to city ruins only allow attackers to use 2 dice when attacking these territories.
Starport *1L – Acts as a spaceport for all intents and purposes and also allows an attacker to use up to 4 dice when attacking from this territory.
Sewer System *2L *2W – All territories containing a sewer system are considered connected. Defenders can only use 1 die when defending this territory.
Gang Hive *1L – At the beginning of each players turn d3 units are added to the territory. At the end of each players turn all units remaining in this territory become neutral. When this territory is taken you immediately gain d4 MODs that can be placed in any adjacent friendly territory.
Entrenched Territory *2L – anytime an attack is launched into this territory no further attacks may be made from this territory for the remainder of the turn. Attackers can only use 1 die when attacking this territory.
Equivalence – Anytime a card targets a specific type of commander it also effects any equivalents it may have. I.e Priest instead of Diplomat for aliens...
Combined Arms Rule
Attack:
Combined Arms is achieved when any 3 commanders are present in the territory which the attack comes from.
Effect: Add 1 to the highest die roll (examples: 5-5-2 becomes 6-5-2; 8-4-1 becomes 9-4
Defense:
Combined Arms is achieved while defending when any TWO commanders are present in the defending territory.
Effect: Add 1 to the lowest die roll (examples: 6-1 becomes 6-2; 6-6 become 7-6).
Mercenaries - You may purchase mercenaries at the beginning of your turn. Mercenaries cost 3 energy for every five. You must have a number of loyal troops equal to or greater than the amount of mercenaries or they will immediately rebel and attack your forces. You must pay for mercenaries at the beginning of every turn.
How are upgraded commanders different from regular commanders:
Land Commander 2.0: Attacker wins all ties in battles where a Land Commander is involved.
Diplomat Commander 2.0: A force with a diplomat can always retreat.
Naval Commander 2.0: A force with the naval commander may launch attacks from a water territory to any other water territory.
Nuclear Commander 2.0: A force with the nuclear commander can always use d8s when attacking and defending.
Space Commander 2.0: A force led by the Space Commander 2.0 can
attack from Moon to Earth at enemy space stations.
Tech Commander 1.0: When rolling 3 of a kind on attack, draw an Advanced Technology Card (this is the only way to acquire Advanced Technologies)
Tech Commander 2.0: When rolling 2 of a kind on defense, draw an Advanced Technology Card (this is the only way to acquire Advanced Technologies)
If you control your own Capital, you may hire a Homefront Commander for 3 Energy, who may be played in one of two ways, depending on player preference:
v1.1 The Homefront Commander may not move away from your Capital, but allows all units in that territory to add 1 to their rolls when defending. In addition, if you have two Capitals and control both of them, you may Fortify Move both him and other MODs from one to the other as though they were connected. Also, any effect which relocates the Capital he is stationed in also relocates him.
v1.2 The Homefront Commander is as mobile as any other Commander, and defends with a d8. If he is attacking a territory within 2 territories of your Capital, he may roll an 8-sided die; otherwise he rolls a 6-sided die.
In both cases, the Homefront Commander must be placed upon your Capital when he is first hired, and if you lose your Capital, the Homefront Commander is lost as well Capitals, and the territories they occupy, are immune to all negative Command Card effects.
Homefront 2.1 – The Homefront Commander may relocate the capital he resides in once per turn. This is done after his last invasion and prior to the players fortification move.
Homefront 2.2 – The Homefront Commander counts as a capital for all intents and purposes. The Commander and any units residing with him are unable to attack and are only allowed to defend. He may move during your fortification phase.
How to activate Advanced Tech cards:
To draw and activate an Advanced Tech card, you need to have a Tech Commander in play and you need to roll three of a kind during an attack or defense. You may only gain up to 3 Advanced Technologies per turn.
How to play with Relics:
After player territories have been selected, draw a random Antarctic, Naval, and Lunar territory
card. Place these cards face up on the table and attach a faced down random Relic Card to
each one (if you play without the Antarctic map expansion, use only two Relics). Whenever a player first comes into control of a relic territory, they may see the relic but are allowed to keep the relic a secret until they decide to use its effect. Once a relic is first used, the Relic Card is turned face up for the remainder of the game. At the end of year five, controlling a relic territory is worth 10 points. Since this expansion comes with 6 Relic Cards, only 3 will be used each game.
How to counter command cards of random results:
All decisions on how to counter command cards which can have random results must be done BEFORE those random results are rolled and become fixed results. For example: one player plays the Nuclear Carnage card, which has a chance of destroying 25%-100% of units in a target territory depending on the number rolled. The player being attacked cannot wait for the results before he decides whether to use Strategic Defense Initiative (a 50% chance of shooting down the incoming nuke), Emergency Shelters (pay 1 energy per unit to shelter it from damage) or some other card. He must use any and all counter cards BEFORE the attacker rolls the actual result for his attack card. This prevents the defender from "seeing into the future" and then stepping back in time, thus gaining an unfair advantage.
On the other hand, the attacker must give sufficient time to the defender to choose and decide, whether and how he wants to protect himself from the attack. Thus the attacker can't play a card and then immediately roll a result before the defender has even had time to contemplate the situation. If that happens, the die cannot be rerolled and the defender can play any defense cards he wants.
How to calculate multiple “add 20%” bonuses:
The bonuses are stacked and then calculated from a base amount. For example if you are a faction that produces 20% extra energy and then you get an Advanced Tech that also produces 20% extra energy, you produce a total of 40% extra energy.
Capitals, and the territories they occupy, are immune to all negative Command Card effects. If you are
playing with the Frontline Amoebas, they are not able to either invade or devastate capitals and should choose a different target.
If your Capital is captured by another player, you are not out of the game.
Any player with two capitals suffers no detriment for losing one of them.
No player may build a Space Station in the same territory as a Capital.
If a player does not control his own Capital at the start of his turn, he may not collect his 3-Territory Bonus on that turn.
Alliance – both pledge a certain amount to forge a relationship can lend energy to each other can move through allied territories if allies control a whole continent or colony the bonus is distributed evenly among the controlling allies any remainder is discarded
