Lux 4.1

Lux description:

Lux is an awesome game of strategy and domination. Based on the time tested gameplay of the board game Risk, Lux adds everything you could ask for in a computer version.

Easy Network Play!
Joining an online game is as easy as 2 clicks. No need to muck about with IP addresses. Hosting an internet-wide game is just as simple. Now is the perfect time to start climbing the world wide rankings.

Challenging AI!
If you want to play solo, Lux comes with 11 different computer opponents. They start at easy and go all the way to hard (with a capital HARD). A strong matchup even for experienced players.

Strong User Base!
Lux has built up an active user community. The regulars can be found hanging around in network games and in the forums.

Plugin Madness!
Lux comes with support for a wide variety of plugins. You can make your own maps and give them background themes. Programmers can create their own AI using the LuxAgent SDK, or a random map generator using the LuxMapGenerator SDK.

It Goes On And On!
In case you need a little bit more funk, Lux comes with some magic bonus features such as a built-in tutorial, FREE tech support, and FREE updates !

Unlimited Fun!
Lux comes with a free 20 game trial period. The cost to buy the full version is a measly 20 dollars US. Full registration gives you unlimited gameplay, access to all of the game options, the ability to host games, and inclusion in the online rankings.
