Our take on Lux Alliance
Many conquest strategy games take turns in sequence; Lux Alliance instead has players plan simultaneously and resolves battles together. That shifts the central rhythm from reacting to completed enemy turns toward anticipating opponents while orders are being prepared.
What is Lux Alliance?
Lux Alliance is a world-conquest strategy game inspired by classic board games such as RISK, Diplomacy, and Axis & Allies.
Players plan orders at the same time; battles resolve together once planning ends, rather than waiting for each opponent to move. The goal is to capture all enemy headquarters or flags. Play solo against computer-controlled opponents or join online multiplayer, with both fast-paced games and turns that advance once a day. Team scenarios let players coordinate, occupy continents for bonuses, and use private team chat in multiplayer. More than 100 maps cover historical, geographic, geometric, and fantasy settings. The built-in editor lets players make maps, and programmers can build AI opponents with the open-source SDK.
