''Lux'' is a turn-based strategy computer game that uses the rule system of the board game ''Risk'' but expands it to function on any map made up of a graph of countries and the connections between them. ''Lux'' was developed and self-published by developer Sillysoft Games. The user community has been active in growing ''Lux''. Users can create maps and computer AIs for Lux, and submit them to be included in the official plugin manager.〔(Inside Mac Games Review: Lux )〕 ==Gameplay== ''Lux'' is a ''Risk''-style clone with generally similar rules to the original. Up to six players can play at once, and any empty spot in the game is filled up by "bots," or computer AI personalities.〔http://sillysoft.net/lux/〕 Lux has over 900 maps, each varying in size, shape, and complexity.〔http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/pictures_all.php〕 Regardless of the map, the object of the game remains: eliminate all other players so only one remains. Players play for "Raw," which is awarded or taken away based on whether you win or lose games. These games are recorded, and the player with the most raw at the end of the week is awarded a virtual medal.〔http://sillysoft.net/lux/rankings/〕〔http://sillysoft.net/lux/rankings/awards/〕 Aside from the weekly medals, players compete for the best seed, the calculation of a player's best weekly ranking.〔http://sillysoft.net/lux/rankings/seeds/〕 Awards are distributed on a player's rankings page, along with a record of his/her win percentage, games, and more. Like ''Risk'', winning in ''Lux'' requires both skill and luck, with every attack hanging on the result of a dice roll. However, in spite of the randomness there exists a regular group of players who dominate the multiplayer rankings. Like many online turn-based board games, Lux includes a chat capability, allowing conversation, tactical discussions, offers of alliance, etc., and some players use this as a political tool in their play to great advantage. The ranking system is very competitive, and has evolved into a two-tiered system where each player has a score in the current week, as well as a seeded place depending on the last 16 weeks of play. The online player base is relatively small (about 700 regular online players), but many of them are fairly dedicated. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lux (video game)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
