Erm, I just play it like I would normal risk. Go for the easily defendable continents nobody else would want since they have groundings in better countries. Then I mess them up when they don't expect it.
Just don't let the power balance tip or you'll lose for sure. If someone's got a continent then the rest of you are pretty screwed. You have to fight the other guys while defending yourself, which is pretty tough.
Hmm. My strategies are all for 6-player freestyle, double turns and escalating cards. I'm pretty sure you don't play like that, though, otherwise you're bound to win sometimes.
