Lux 5.7.2

Lux 5.7.2 gives you an exciting strategy and domination game inspired by the board game Risk. Control your armies to conquer and hold strategic countries on the map. The object of the game is simple: Take over the entire world!

Lux can be played on over a billion different world maps in five sizes. Along with all the options that you desire. Included are 10 computer AIs, ranging from easy to deadly. If you are a developer take a look at the LuxAgent SDK for details on how to write your own, with examples provided. If you're more the graphics type, you can create your own board theme.

Three come built in to Lux. Lux records the wins and losses of both human and computer players, so you can see exactly how you stack up.

Major Features:

1. Hundreds of Maps
   • Lux comes with over 400 different maps. Play on historical, geometric, geographic, and fantasy settings. New maps get added all the time.
2. Challenging Artificial Intelligence
   • Play versus 11 different computer AI personalities. They start at easy and go all the way to hard (with a capital HARD). Lux provides a strong matchup even for experienced Risk game players.
3. Easy Network Play
   • Joining an online multiplayer game is as easy as 2 clicks - no need to muck about with IP addresses. Hosting an internet-wide game is just as simple.
     
4. Strong User Base
   • Lux has an active user community. The regulars can be found hanging around in the forums and playing multiplayer games online. Come and join the party.
5. Hackable
   • Use the built-in Map Editor to create your own maps. Send it in and we'll add it to the Plugin Manager. Programmers can create AIs and random map generators with the Lux SDK provided by Sillysoft.
6. Unlimited Fun
