As a result, each nation began hoarding what they could in order to survive the ensuing nuclear winter. The United States faired better than most and is now the sole owner of the last of the Earth's resources. Starving and desperate, the rest of the world forms alliances in an attempt to topple America and take the resources for themselves. America is under attack! Invasion forces have been sighted on all four sides of the continent! Save the republic and repel the invaders!
RULES:
You can only cross the Mississippi where indicated with dotted lines.

by Mark Bauer
| Inspired by the distinguished Preacherman's Hex series!!!
The set up: A long time ago, the countryside was united under a powerful King. His death left a power vacuum causing his six sons to battle each other. Each one hopes to once again restore the empire to its original glory...but only at the expense of the other five! You are one of the six sons that must secure your castle and defeat the others. But beware, do not leave your castle ill-defended, as it is your main power base!
Version 2.1: The bridges are now made up of 2 countries in order to make it less likely that a players starts with one. Just holding half of the bridge will not give you a penalty, but crossing all the way across will. Thanks Mercer and Documan! |

For years the two churches have competed for the hearts and minds of Luxtopia's citizens. The battles fought between them have been bloody, but inconclusive. This uneasy stalemate persisted for many moons. Then, in a bold and audacious move, a Semi-Holy Lieutenant out flanked the leader of the Anti-holy Church and beat him at his own game. The Anti-holy forces were forced to flee. Now, the Semi-holy forces have finally cornered the rebellious Anti-holies in their remote fortress nestled deep in the North Shore Mountains. The five ruthless and tyrannical Semi-Holy commanders have surrounded Castle Brienë and are laying siege to the revolutionaries within. With time running out and moral low, the Anti-holies stage one last offensive in a desperate attempt to turn the tide of the battle and finally secure power over Luxtopia. Lord Quasar is watching. Don't let Luxtopia fall into the wrong hands!

| "The Last King" is the 4th and final official installment in the Castle Lux Series.
Rules:
There is 1 door on each wall of the Hex Stonghold, these are the only ways in and out. The 2 draw bridges provide the only access into Lord Quasar's Castle. Bridges, swamps, and mountain passes are negative bonuses. Every circle is a village and is worth positive income.
Story:
Lord Quasar, the last King of Luxdom, has ruled for decades with an iron fist of destruction. His denying of feature requests and raising of duties has made his once loyal subjects vexed and rebellious. Throughout Luxdum bands of luxers join together to overthrow the tyrannical ruler. Lord Quasar has beed forced to retreat into his last bastion, the Hex Stronghold. Now each band sees an opportunity to sieze control of the fractured kingdom!
The Battle for Luxdom has begun!

version 1.9
rated 4.3 (274 votes)

| The 3rd official installment in the Castle Lux series.
In Castle Lux: Merchants there are docks and port cities instead of bridges. Each port city gives you 2-3 reinforcements, but it is also connected to 2-3 other port cities (indicated by the dotted lines and arrows). Your borders are few, but you share them with everyone...do you know who your friends are?
Set up: The population of Luxtopia is rapidly increasing, and with it, the demand for trade and commerce. Cities are cropping up, and the power of the local Kings is waning. A new breed of society has risen: the merchant class. With their stranglehold on port cities, the merchants grow stronger and richer everyday. Now they are challenging the power of the kings themselves. Revolution is at hand! |

It is the spring of 1940. Nazi Germany has grown powerful, conquered Poland, and secured control of Northeastern Europe. Now the Germans are poised to launch the largest invasion in history on the unsuspecting Stalin. Meanwhile France and England are earnestly trying to rearm in preparation for the upcoming battle. The U.S. remains tragically unprepared as the Italians join Hitler in an attempt to control the continent.
The dotted lines are not lines of attack, but borders for the sea zones. The squares in the sea zones represent fleets. Sea zones can attack any adjacent sea zone or coastal territory. Any coastal territory can attack any adjacent sea zone. The major cities in the Soviet Union (Leningrad, Moscow, and Stalingrad) are continents with values indicated under their names. To enter or exit the Mediterranean you must control Gibraltar.
In Version 1.5 the U.S. is worth 3 and Canada is worth 1, so stop fighting over it. ;) (just for you Natya)

 | Roman Empire c300AD
version 2.0
rated 4.2 (383 votes)
by Hunterrose2000
| The Roman Empire circa 300AD, around the time of Diocletian and Constantine. Be a Prefect and conquer the known world from your own Diocese, or unite the Barbarian Hordes and destroy the Empire.
VERSION 2.0 6/27/05 - Now with a scenario: It is the first of May, 305 AD. After splitting the Empire in two in 286 AD, Diocletian and Maximian abdicate their positions in the tetrarchy as co-Augusti. Diocletian tries to maintain order and make the right appointments, but there are many who aspire to the throne.
First player: You are Constantine, son of Constantius, appointed Caesar of the West but hailed Augustus Emperor at York by your troops. You control Spain, Gaul, Germany and Britain. With visions of the Cross you seek your destiny. Reunite the Empire, by sweeping East over the rebellious pretenders to the throne!
Second Player: You are Maxentius, son of Maximian, hailed as legitimate successor to the Empire by the Praetorian Guard and the city of Rome and heading the revolt against Constantine. You have control over Italy, Raetia, North Africa, and, because you're a clever little rebel, the hordes of HIbernia. Can you put a stop to Constantine's "divine" destiny with your vast army?
Third Player: You are Licinius, a master of Roman politics with friends in all the right places. Galerius has helped you to be appointed Augustus of the West with control over Pannonia and the Balkans. Soon you are destined to hold the entire Eastern Empire. However, despite your shrewd marriage to Constantine's sister, your alliance with Constantine is tenuous. Will you escape your eventual execution?
Fourth Player: You are Maximinus II Daia, believer in the old Roman gods. Newly appointed Caesar of the East, you exercise vicious and tyrannical control over Jews and Christians in the Diocese of Orientis. Poised to conquer the Anatolian Penninsula with your superior numbers, you are also destined to be crushed by Licinius before he succumbs in turn to Constantine. Can you change history and return the Empire to its Pagan glory?
Fifth Player: You are Galerius, appointed successor to Diocletian as Augustus of the Eastern Empire. You control the Anatolian Penninsula and Thrace. You have the support of Maximinus II Daia, but are succumbing to disease. Can you heal and assert your dominion?
Sixth Player: You are...Attila the Hun! (I know its a bit early, just go with it) You've swept across the Russian plains and decimated indigineous tribes. Have you finally exhausted your murderous reach, or will you teach those high-and mighty Romans a thing or two first?
I tried to balance things as best I could while still trying to have some historcial basis for the placements. So, please note that any suggestions for refinement are welcome. Just post in teh Map forum or send me a private message.
Have fun.

version 1.1

| Arms Race
A new kind of Lux map, that requires a different strategy than traditional maps.
Here are the rules:
The map is divided into two areas. The main map on the right side works like a regular map. The cities provide a bonus and the continents provide a bonus. Each of the countries marked with a port (the boat icon) can connect via the water to any other port. There are also a few bridges that connect continents. The left side of the board is where things get interesting. This is the industry and power sidebar.
INDUSTRY: There are three types of industry: Light, Medium and Heavy. Owning an entire industry type provides a troop bonus. The larger the industry, the more troops. EVERY industry space is accessible from ANY city on the map. And industries connect to adjacent industries (not diagonally). Be careful, though - troops can NOT return from industries to the map! So, invest your troops in conquering the industries at your own risk, because if you get wiped out on the main map, you will become orphaned there and doomed to be defeated.
SEA POWER: The sea power represents an investement in naval R&D. Any port country can begin their R&D by moving troops (attacking) the Sea Power Level I space. Ports can not skip directly to levels II, III or IV. Once at a level, troops advance only one way up the chart to level IV. (You can not move backwards down the levels). Holding Sea Power Level IV lets you attack any coastal country with a beach. You can not attack a mountain coastline. You do not need to control all 4 levels of R&D to use the power, just whoever controls Level IV can use it (troops attack coastlines from the Level IV area, not other countries). So, defend your technology - lest someone come up the ladder behind you and take it away!
AIR POWER: Air power works in a similar way to sea power. Countries marked with an airport symbol are just like regular countries, with one exception: they have the ability to invest troops into Air Power R&D (Level I). Again, troops advance one way up to Level IV, where they gain the ability to attack any airport country on the map.
So, defend your coastlines, unless you own SEA POWER. Defend your airports, unless you wield the AIR POWER. Invest in INDUSTRY for more troops, but keep a army presence on the map!
Will you go for strategic power, troop power or geographic power. The decision is yours. The Arms Race has begun!
Best played with aggressive and teaming bots - try it with Angry and multiple Reapers! |

by Daniel Myers
| This map is based on a map of Europe in 1560 from The Historical Atlas by William R. Shepherd, 1923. That map is availiable from the Perry-Castenada Map Collection at the University of Texas Libraries. This map shows Europe at the height of Philip II's power, just after his father Charles split the great Hapsburg posessions. This map focuses more on the West than Europe Large, and is smaller in scale for quicker gameplay. Please post any comments on the forums.
Version 1.1: A few bugs are fixed and a new scenario is added. The scenario has 6 powers: Spain, including posessions in the low countries and Italy, France and their massive army, with Switzerland, Austria and the German states, a force to be reconned with, Russia and Poland-Lithuania, the Ottoman Empire, and a North Europe coalition of England, Denmark, and Sweden. To assist in balancing this scenario, I added 4 new city continents: London, Paris, Rome, and Constantinople. Enjoy! |

Rules:
- Beware of the troll on the bridge, he'll devour 2 of your soldiers for crossing!
- Any area touching a castle wall can attack that wall.
Story:
After the IV Luxdom War of 1224 the countryside was gripped by a devastating ice age. Luxtopians were forced to retreat into the extensive caves under the North Shore Mountains as bitter cold laid waste to all of Luxdom. Deep in their cave lairs, Luxtopia's Kings and Queens anxiously awaited the melting point, when they could finally emerge and resume the unsettled bloodbath. Now, the melting point has arrived, the ice is finally thawing and Luxtopia's Nobility emerge from their hideaways ready to seize the kingdom. But the once expansive region is half covered in ice, there's not enough room for everyone! Who will be stripped of their castle? Who will reign supreme?

| It's December 7, 1941 and Japanese forces have launched a daring air raid on the U.S. fleet at Pearl Harbor. Suddenly the United States is thrown into World War II and forced to grapple with the empire of Japan for control of the Pacific. The British, pre-occupied with Hitler in Germany, must rely on their outposts of India and Australia to ward off the Japanese onslaught! The future of the Pacific is in your hands! Allies are essential!
Now for the rules of the map. Similar to the World War 1 map, the dotted lines are not lines of attack, but borders for the sea zones. The squares in the sea zones represent fleets. In order to attack an island you must first take control of a sea zone adjacent to it by taking the fleet. Sea zones can attack any adjacent sea zone or coastal/island territory. Any coastal/island territory can attack any adjacent fleet.

 | Europe Large 3--The Napoleonic Wars
version 1.2
rated 4.1 (153 votes)
by Daniel Myers
| Edited--The download should work now; I did not realize that ":" in the title caused a problem.
Based on Europe Large, this map is altered to reflect the Europe of Napoleon. France is very powerful, and England's Royal Navy has set up a blockade. Austria is mighty, but hard to control. And Russia is immense. As in real life, the capital cities are key to these nations. There are wars to be fought. Vive le Emperor!
Version 1.1: Scenario added! This is from approximately 1805, so France has conquered Spain and most of Italy. Prussia and Austria are the weakest players, and probably need to ally to survive. However, they have the potential for large reinforcements. Russia is quite powerful, if they are careful. They must hold Russia proper to survive. The Ottoman Empire is fairly strong, if they don't over expand. They too have the potential for large reinforcements, with careful diplomacy. England is in a solid position, having England, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, and Hannover. All must beware of the massive army of France; France is equal in strength to any two of the others. Britain and Russia are the next strongest, then the Ottomans, and finally the Austrians and Prussians. In order to balance this scenario, I added a new continent, the Caucasus, to allow both the Ottomans and the Russians to survive for a while.
Version 1.2: Connections modified; London now one-way touches a number of locations, simulating the Royal Navy. Also, the setup in Scandinavia is very different; it is now essentially unnocupied; first come first served. This is in keeping with the desire to make this scenario historical. Also, some strength was added to Prussia and Austria, as they are usually hammered. A two-way connection was added at the Pas-de-Calais |

by top row
| River Castles represents the conquest of Wales by England. During the unsuccessful wars of independence there existed both native Welsh and English castles in Wales, many of which still exist today. The three castles in the south are native Welsh and the three in the north were built by order of King Edward I of England. This map offers the opportunity for team play, Welsh VS English. While not geographically correct, the 3D map offers an interesting slant on Castle battle. Bridges are not countries themselves but indicate links across water. Bridges to castles connect to the closest two towers. The Keep in each castle connects to the closest castle tower. Docks in the south connect to other docks in the south. Docks in the north connect to other docks in the north.
Credit for the castle theme idea of course goes to M. Bauer, the original castle map designer. This is my three dimensional take on the theme. |

History synopsis:
The allied breakout from Normandy has ground to a halt. A lack of supplies has bogged the allied effort down. The large port city of Antwerp has been rendered useless since the germans control the vital riverways in the area. A radical plan is adopted to drop paratroopers deep behind enemy lines to capture key bridges and facilitate a rapid route of the German Siegfried line!
Special thanks to BarStar for all of his help and input.
Props to Hunterose2000 for coming up with the "zoom-in" box idea with the map "Macedonian Empire."

Each principal city state adds to the strength of your armies. The city states in regions bordering the principal cities provide support for your armies. The mountainous terrain is sometimes impassable, but you can use this to your advantage. |

 | Vermont - Independence
version 1.1
rated 4 (42 votes)
by Mark Bauer
| Since the end of the Indian War with France both New York and New Hampshire laid claim to the region west of the Connecticut River. New York, a very powerful province, was given rights to the area by King George III. However, New Hampshire did not listen and issued a series of land grants to native residents in order to encourage further settlement. These residents formed what became known as the "Green Mountain Boys," a paramilitary militia who were fierce in the defense of their homeland and used whatever means necessary to drive off their enemy. New York issued warrants for the arrest of their leader, Ethan Allen, declaring him an outlaw and an enemy of the state. Without the support of New Hampshire, Ethan Allen and his followers began to want a country of their own, free from all. By 1775 the Green Mountain boys had successfully secured most of the region and were situated on the outskirts of Albany when fate came knocking, the American Revolution had begun! Now, the Green Mountain boys are forced to join forces with their New York rivals in order to fight their common enemy, the British. With a large force along Lake Champlain, the redcoats are gearing up for a massive invasion of the belligerent colonies. The only thing in their way is the valiant and determined Green Mountain Boys, who are ready to fight and die for their country. For freedom and unity!
Scenario set-up (Random start off):
Player 1: Green Mountain Boys
Player 2: New York
Player 3: New Hampshire
Player 4: British
*Fun fact- Vermont is one of only 4 US states to have formerly been an independent nation. |

| ROMAN EMPIRE I: The Conquest of Italy
Before the sons of Rome conquered the Mediterranean World in the name of the Roman Empire, they first had to conquer the Italian Peninsula.
Around 500 BC, the fledgling Roman Republic controlled the lands surrounding the city of Rome and sought to expand its influence. The Etruscans to the north and the Samnites to the south were the first on their list...
DETAILS
18 Provinces, 42 Cities
The provinces in the Italian Peninsula are worth more than the outlying regions. |

 | Alamo
version 1.2
rated 3.9 (110 votes)
by RandomGuy
| 1836. Texian forces are waging a war for independence from Mexico.
Mexican President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna has abolished the Mexican constitution of 1824 and reduced the power of provincial governments. As Santa Anna exerts more pressure over the entire country a rebellion has begun. Now, Santa Anna has decided to put an end to the rebellion once and for all.
6,000 Mexican soldiers have marched across the Rio Grande and are camped outside the Alamo Mission walls. Inside, Lieutenant Colonel Willam Barret Travis leads a company of 200 men, including Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie.
Travis dispatches riders asking for assistance from Sam Houston's Texas Army and Colonel Fannin's group of 450 men at Goliad, but neither was strong enough to fight through the Mexican army and reach the post.
The only assistance came from a group of 32 Texians from the nearby town of Gonzales - the "Immortal 32" slipped through the Mexican army ranks to provide support.
It is now March 6. Santa Anna has ordered the final assault and the Mexican army is approaching in four columns. General Cos is attacking the weak Northern wall. Colonel Duque is attacking the Western wall. Colonel Romero is entering through the main gates at the South.
Can you hold off the Mexican army long enough for Sam Houston to rally enough troops to win the battle for independence? Defend the Alamo!
Note: Ladders provide access into the Alamo, but can not be used to exit.
Starting scenario (random start off):
Player 1: Texian Forces
Player 2: General Cos (Mexican Army)
Player 3: Colonel Duque (Mexican Army)
Player 4: Colonel Romero (Mexican Army)
Player 5: Empty Texas countryside
Best played by using the Empty bot in the player 5 spot and setting the Mexican Army players to teaming bots (Nef, Reaper, BoD). |

| It is the year 3041 (20 years later) and the war is continuing. Among the still strong Totopia, The Lak Empire is coming to power after defeating Assahkel. New platforms have entered the war. Earth has landed and has created platforms and has taken over Cluster's land, forcing Cluster to take over Phrapiazus and most of Tollaen. In the east, new empires have formed, most likely to form a treaty later in the war. Who will survive? Earth? Totopia? Lak? Or the empires of the East?

| CUBE WARS: 180 Countries, 30 Continents
After being inspired by Preacherman's sermon on the Lincolnesque properties of Hex maps, I've decided to create one myself. The 30 most influential posters on the sillysoft forums (i.e. spammers) each get their own cubicle. Each cube rat gets their own chair, desk, telephone, and computer. Posters that have profoundly offered words of wisdom in the forums (i.e. spammed the most) also have a few personal accessories that decorate their cubicle. |

 | California - Gold Rush
version 1.3
rated 3.9 (81 votes)
by Mark Bauer
| On January 28, 1848 John Sutter discovered gold at his mill outside of Coloma, California. As news spread of the find, floods of people from all around the world descended upon the sleepy corner of the American west. Covered wagons dotted the landscape as travelers set out on the perilous journey through hostile Indian country, blistering deserts, and ominous mountain passes. Some chose to make the long journey by boat, which brought them to the tiny hamlet of San Francisco. By 1849, San Francisco was a bustling boomtown and the waves of eager adventure seekers continued to push the Native American and Californio populations off their traditional lands. The year is now 1850, and still the thirst for gold has not been quenched. The Californio population of the south is starting to push back, eager to regain the losses suffered during the Mexican-American War. The Northern Indians in the Siskiyou Mountains have formed an alliance, desperate to turn the tide and hold on to what is rightfully theirs. Is it too late? Will California be overrun by "forty-niners?" Or will the rush for gold be stopped in its tracks?

 | Europe Large
version 1.3
rated 3.9 (77 votes)
by Daniel Myers
| Version 1.2: Totally redid the graphics (you should now be able to see the terrain!) and resized the map according to popular request to 1024 wide. You can still see the territories, and it sure is nice to have to scroll less! Version 1.1: Fixed a few "missing links" and added a connection to the Baleares. Version 1.0:This is a huge map, comparable to the region maps released in the 1996 version of Risk. However, this map has corrected many of the errors and peculiar connections (Galicia to Ireland anyone?) that were found on that version of Europe. In addition, I utilyzed the Europe Universalis II map of Europe in placing the territories, and anyone familiar with that game will note the numerous similarities. This map has been extensively tested with the AI. Yacool does the best, with Quo and EvilPixie next. I recommence Yacool and EvilPixie for single player, as they have the annoying tendency to break through your lines and wreak havoc if you are too strong. Quo usually wins by waiting as the other players exhaust their resources... The map has 17 continents and 219 territories. Enjoy! If anybody finds an error with the map, let me know, and I'll fix it.

 | West Virginia - Civil War
version 1.0
rated 3.9 (53 votes)
by Mark Bauer
| The year is 1861; the assault on Fort Sumter has caused President Lincoln to call for volunteers to put down the southern insurrection. In the wake of this action the Virginia legislator voted to secede from the Union and take up arms against the invading Union army. However, not all Virginians sympathized with the rebel cause. The western mountain counties of Virginia convened at Wheeling and decided to secede from their own state and remain loyal to the union. This has been a disastrous blow to the moral and strategic situation of the newly formed Confederate States of America. The vital railways that link the eastern and western theatres run directly through West Virginia. These railways are essential to moving men and material to the battlefield. George B McClellan has realized this and quickly set out to secure the Baltimore & Ohio (B&O) Railroad. His surprise victory at Philippi has given the "Young Napoleon" a strong advantage. But the Rebels aren't giving up so easily. A new confederate general is on the scene, Robert E. Lee, and he's ready to reverse the losses and return West Virginia into the hands of the Confederacy. In no other part of the country was the old adage "Brother vs. Brother" truer than in West Virginia. The struggle has just begun!

| After a record year at the box office, hordes of thespians descend upon the city of angels with naive dreams of making it big and basking in the glory that is Hollywood. It soon becomes clear that there aren't enough roles for the masses of bleach blonde, tanned, young actors. For a while, society is able to use them as low-wage help in kitchens and diners throughout the city. However, the situation soon explodes as the actors become fed up waiting for "their shot." The screen actor's guild mobilizes and quickly becomes an ominous and powerful force bent on finding the perfect gig. Los Angeles is soon under the thumb of the oppressive SAG army and violence spreads throughout the state. The rest of the state splinters into alliances as Nevadans, sick of their state being used as a test ground, see this as an opportunity to secure a new homeland. Will all of California become one giant movie studio!? Who will star in the lead role? There can only be one ruler of the Golden State! Is it you?!

DETAILS
Gameplay is similar to Classic Risk. The 10 continents range from having 4-8 territories and are worth from 2-6 bonus points. The bonus points are dependent upon the number of countries and the number of borders they have with other continents.
SUGGESTIONS
This map looks best with thin borders. Simply go to the preferences menu and drag the slider all the way to the left. If you still want to see the continent outlines, drag the slider to the second line from the left. |
