Lux Delux

Probably not what Conquer clubbers want to hear, but, I had my first few games of Lux Delux Online this evening, and bugger me if it isn't hard and fast speed Risk.

Managed to set up a game with me and my bro, and two bots. Playing through, combat is speedy and all on the right click. However its still all about the Risk. There are seemingly endless maps and the game comes with a map creator if your'e feeling artistic.
Alot of the online games have turn limits imposed, so say 30secs or 50 secs, so it plays very fast indeed. Some of the players who connected to our game as guests and then had a session when I ticked a new game over, were quite robust players, used to the speed Risk game.

Obviously could be a groovey game to get some folks together and have an evening of playing through some of the 400+ maps available. Top stuff. Conquer Clubbers into Risk big style should enjoy Lux and its offline/online capabilities. It has a selection of bots with different AI skills, and you can even try your hand at programming their AI code if you're up to the job.

Give the demo a try at least, if you're sucked into CC. And for 13 quid, Lux Delux certainly delivers that Risk fix when you're not CC'ing it. :)
