The forums are quite helpful, the developer is quite open to suggestions for future versions. The phenomenal feature of Lux is the ability to create your own theme and maps. Lux Delux, a cross-platform game (PC, Mac, Linux), boasts of over 300 maps for your downloading pleasure, and an extensive forum. The last conquerer standing is the winner. As you conquer various territories, you gain extra units if you control it the next round. It's up to you to place your units in strategic places, and hopefully ward off your opponents. For those of you not familiar with Risk, it's a game of global conquering as you try to advance your units into various countries according to the roll of dice. Lux Delux is a game based on the boardgame Risk. The game itself is pretty fun - enough for me to buy it after I tried the demo, at which time I was unaware of the prohibiting nature of its online games.
#LUX DELUX CODE FOR FREE#
Perhaps there should be a public server open for free interpretation.
The developer needs to address this in order to attract a larger audience. Not by being yelled at, in a chat communication window. The way I wish to play this game is to simly act with passion and a bit of fun, making rough estimations, and if (at all) I feel a need to become more skilled, I'd prefer to "teach" myself - learning form my own "mistakes".
#LUX DELUX CODE CODE#
And If you (like me) don't have the time or interest learning each little code of conduct, then again, this isn't for you. I hope I'll have a reason to retract these comments, but this is my honest conclusion: if you're not a hardcore player of Risk-like games - this is NOT for you, period.
My point of view: if I come in and play the game with my own uncanny/barbarian ways, I'd rather learn the consequences by myself, and I certainly didn't pay $24.95 just to express that I'm sorry if I so happened to "ruin" someone elses game. You are adviced to ask: "Is it OK with you, if I attack you in South America?"… (which of course is a huge disappointing element for someone who just want a game or two during lunch break or likewise). Stepping on someones toe will mean about 10-30 comment lines teaching you what you did wrong - at best - and more often, lead to even more befooling. But no, that's NOT okay with the people playing Lux… You can't just enter and play by your own chaos tactics however you want. I was looking for a game where I could just pop by and have a few shootouts, then leave. In my mind, the game rules ARE the rules the rest is up to you - otherwise, the game should take responsibility for preventing someone to attack the way they want, etc.
#LUX DELUX CODE HOW TO#
I think there's too much nitpicking on how one should play this game and the "rules" about how to interpret the rules. In this case, the risk cost 25 bucks and was definitely not worth it. Oh, and this problem persists on both my laptop and my family iMac, so I'm pretty sure it's not just me, but it's the code.Īnyway, I know I'm the sucker for trusting the developer, but like I said, I've always been a Risk fan. Eventually, everything returns to normal, but it starts again the next time you boot up. You can kill the process but sometimes that doesn't do it, so you have to kill it again.
#LUX DELUX CODE LICENSE#
I tried the previous version for a while and, though it had a disturbing tendency to crash while loading every fourth map or so (sending the syslog process into hyperactivity, jacking up the heat/fan and slowing my entire computer down.), I thought I'd plump for 6.0 on the theory that they probably fixed what ailed it and I was getting tired of going into Parallels to play Risk.Īside from the fact that I still haven't received my license code after two days, the same problems remain: if you play different maps, inevitably, one of the maps won't load and syslog will go nuts.
