After WWII the European Union was created to encourage cooperation and peace on the continent, and for the next 200 years the peoples of Europe lived together as one. But the project that started out as a coal and steel union soon became too bloated and bureaucratic, and some nations refused to comply with EU regulations. Other member-states took offence to this and imposed sanctions and blockades.

As the EU slowly crumbled, new alliances were formed. Sweden joined the Scandinavian and Baltic states and created the Nordic Alliance, while Germany joined its closest neighbours to form a Central power. France, Spain, Portugal and Italy joined forces in the West, while the Balkan states, Greece, Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria and Moldova formed an alliance in the East. Russia reconnected with some of its former satellites while Britain remained true to its isle and joined Ireland.

Tension between the different alliances was on the rise and war finally broke out when the Central Alliance invaded and reclaimed Kaliningrad. The rest of Europe began their own wars of conquest and so the peace was broken...]]> http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/Battle%20Of%20Europe David Blumberg 2009-09-08T01:40:29-04:00 http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/The%20Great%20Lakes

To make matters worse the pesky humans have responded to the monster threat with a barrage of biological and nuclear weapons. Seems your plan of leveling all civilization has really pissed them off. Silly little ants, they'll be nothing left to crush if they keep it up.

So, what's the plan?

*DESTROY ALL MONSTERS*

*AVOID WANDERING INTO WEAPONIZED BIOLOGICAL WASTE OR STEPPING ON A MUSHROOM CLOUD*

*LEVEL THE DAMN PLANET*

- CAST OF CHARACTERS -

The 400 TONNE BABE - Ironically this former women’s pro baseball player and aspiring model turned gargantuan after eating out-of-date weight loss pills. 400 is best known for uprooting and 'pitching' the Playboy mansion when Hefner declined to run her pre-400 photo shoot. The mansion and guests are reportedly still in orbit.

The BIG APE - An exceptionally large primate.

The SUPERSIZED SKINK - A skyscraper high reptile with chronic gingivitis.

The JELLY-LIKE MONSTROSITY - Despite having consumed whole cities the MONSTROSITY still tastes just like jelly.

The TIN CAN FROM OUTER SPACE - It's advanced alien robotics and sheer mass makes it the toughest of the six. Weak point: a single cell organism could out smart it's AI.

The HOMICIDAL MEGA-MASCOT – Fun Fudge confectionary company’s mascot Fun Bear was adored by customers almost as much as he was by Fun Fudge shareholders. So no questions were asked when it’s marketing department invested half a billion dollars on a top-secret Fun Bear ‘makeover’ to be unveiled at Dallas Cowboys Stadium on Super Sunday. Spectators at the venue sure got a surprise when the 1500 foot high, walking, talking, robotic Fun Bear MEGA-MASCOT tore the stadium down.

A young man from Macedonia, having taken control of the union of Greek city states 5 years earlier, marched in the year 330BC to spread the boarders of the Hellenic Empire and defeat, their century old rival, the Persian Empire. Before his death at the age of 33, on June 10 of the year 323 BC, he had marched victoriously through most of the known world at the time. Asides crushing the Persian Empire, his conquests included Anatolia, Syria, Phoenicia, Judea, Gaza, Egypt, Bactria and Mesopotamia, and had extended the boundaries of his own empire as far as Punjab, India. This young man, Alexander III of Macedon, was the first king ever to be called the Great. Do you have what it takes rival Alexander’s conquests?

It is 480 BC when a vast Persian army descends on Greece. A comparatively minute force of Greeks march to meet the invaders in Thermopylae - 'The Hot Gates', where the only road into Greece narrows so sharply between the cliffs an army is forced to pass in file. For three days the Greeks use the advantage of the path to block the Persian’s way, slaughtering vast numbers as they defend. Hope is dashed though when the Greek traitor Ephialtes leads the Persians to ‘The Anopaia Path’, a tiny goat trail granting access to Greece around the Hot Gates. Undone, the bulk of the Greek army retreat, leaving but a handful of soldiers at the gates, chiefly Spartans - their King, Leonidas and his tiny regiment of career soldiers thought to number as little as 300. These men fight on, not for victory in battle but that their defiance will send a message. Indeed, even as Persian swords cut them down the story of the battle and the bravery at The Hot Gates spreads throughout the land, and with it, hope.]]> http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/THE%20HOT%20GATES Behemoth 2009-09-05T11:58:12-04:00 http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/Antarctica

In the not so long future, after decades of mindless consumption of the planets natural resources and polluting of the environment, most of the ice on the continent of Antarctica melted. The sea levels around the world rose and countless coastal cities flooded with water. The consequences were bigger than what most expected. Highly toxic elements entered the atmosphere, which started a chain reaction of toxic rain, destruction of plantations around the world, contamination of fresh and sea water and the rapid decline of marine life. In Antarctica the lands’ remaining frozen areas served as a natural shield from the ecological disaster. With large areas of frozen freshwater and wetlands ideal for farming people from around the globe, in a last effort to survive, traveled by any means to Antarctica. As more and more settlers arrived, open landmass became scarce. Not long after, new alliances were formed and battles ragged through the continent in an attempt to secure more land.

Your alliance has given you their full force of their military might in an attempt to conquer and bring peace to the continent. It’s now up to you to prove you have what it takes to succeed and ensure the survival of your brethren and all those who seek peace.
Be careful though, there are others that seek the same goal who will, in their desperation, do anything to achieve it. At the most southern point of the planet, at 90°S 0°W coordinates, navigation tools don’t work forming a dead zone to those why seek passage through it. Prevent crossing it to avoid having your armies lost in that barren wasteland.

In 1811, William Henry Harrison, Governor of the Indiana Territory, marched on Prophetstown, located at the confluence of the Tippecanoe and Wabash rivers. This settlement, founded by the great Shawnee Chief, Tecumseh, and his brother, Tenskwatawa ("The Prophet"), was a place where several tribes from the area, including the Shawnee, Potawatomi, Delaware, Kickapoo, Wea, Winnebago, and Miami, came to live, work, and commune in peace. Harrison massacred the inhabitants of Prophetstown, destroyed the crops, and burned the village to the ground.

Tecumseh, enraged by this continuing aggression, travelled from Canada to Florida in an attempt to rally a confederacy of Native American tribes to resist the Euro-American "Long Knives" in perhaps their last best attempt to resist the ceaseless encroachment of the euro-american colonial invaders. Eventually, the British entered the fray in the full-blown War of 1812.

Governor Harrison was celebrated as a "war-hero" and later ran a successful presidential campaign under the slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler, too," which referenced his "victory" at the Battle of Tippecanoe, and his Vice-President, John Tyler. Harrison died of pneumonia only one month after his inauguration, the shortest U.S. Presidency in history.

Indiana was granted statehood in 1816, and pursued a vigorous campaign of settlement and development per the vision of its infamous first territorial governor.]]> http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/The%20Battle%20of%20Tippecanoe mnemosyne 2009-07-13T17:50:18-04:00 http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/Terrestrials

Manatus, gelegen op de Noot riuier, 1639
Manhattan, situated on the North river, 1639

This 1639 map is the earliest portrayal of Manhattan and its environs. The map may have been drawn by Johannes Vingboons, cartographer to the Prince of Nassau for the West India Company of Holland. This map, possibly done to encourage Dutch settlement, depicts plantations and small farms. The list of references includes a grist mill, two sawmills and "Quarters of the Blacks, the Company's Slaves." See http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/treasures/trm068.html

For Lux I rearranged things a bit, to make it a playable map. The names of the territories are also from the 1639 map, but the text was difficult to read, and could have been misinterpreted in some cases.

The Picture on the bottom is also from Johannes Vingboons, but from 1665, showing Nieuw Amsterdam from the south.

The War of the Five Kings has begun!

Lead one of the five great houses to victory and a permanent seat upon the coveted Iron Throne.

- House Stark of Winterfell
- House Tully of Riverrun
- Houses Baratheon and Lannister of Storm's End and Casterly Rock
- House Tyrel of Highgarden
- House Martell of Dorne

In addition to these houses you may have to contend with House Arryn of the Eyrie, the barbarians beyond the Wall, and the fearsome House Greyjoy of Pyke which holds an important sea route.

Most castles are surrounded by a "siege zone" with a negative point value. This is meant to simulate the cost of besieging a heavily defended castle.

Keep in mind that not only do you lose points by taking a siege zone, but your opponent technically gains points. So be sure to end a siege as quick as possible.

You may be tempted to allow a siege to remain unbroken; this can be an effective way of increasing your men per turn. But be warned, the enemy can use that siege zone to attack virtually every surrounding territory. You must judge if it is worth the risk.

This map is balanced for starting scenario play, I recommend using a 2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4 card progression and a 5% increase per turn. Higher percent increases can be used, I find the map works best when most of your points come from territories as opposed to cards.]]> http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/War%20of%20the%20Five%20Kings Baudolino 2009-02-16T09:32:39-05:00 http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/Falklands%20War

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?!

Many municipalities have small bonuses.
Bigger cities get bigger bonuses.
Be mindful of continents and values.

War has broken out in the world of Lux. Because of misunderstanding and open hostility, the various factions have fractured the fragile peace that has existed for years.

Chokepoints for everyone! Unless someone gets stuck in the middle.
Holding the central basin will earn tons of income. Good luck with that.

In 431 BC the Peloponnesian League, led by Sparta launched repeated invasions of Attica, while Athens took advantage of its naval supremacy to raid the coast of the Peloponnese attempting to suppress signs of unrest in its empire. After 27 years of battle the Athenians, deprived of their naval supremacy with the destruction of the entire force, surrender and was reduced to a state of near-complete subjection, while Sparta was established as the leading power of Greece. The economic costs of the war were felt all across Greece; poverty became widespread in the Peloponnese, while Athens found itself completely devastated, and never regained its pre-war prosperity. The war also wrought subtler changes to Greek society; the conflict between Democratic Athens and oligarchic Sparta, each of which supported friendly political factions within other states, made civil war a common occurrence in the Greek world. The Peloponnesian War marked the dramatic end to the fifth-century-B.C. golden age of Greece.]]> http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/Peloponnesian%20War Enokrad 2008-11-17T09:56:00-05:00 http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/Arkansas%20-%20Corporate%20Takeover

The first Lux-Mart was established in 2002 by the brilliant entrepreneur Walton Quasar Sacks (no relation), in the tiny Arkansas town of Bentonville. The first Lux-Mart only offered a random map generator and single player action, but soon expanded to offer a larger map selection as well as online play. Sacks was able to offer raw at a slightly discounted price, allowing everyone to Lux better, while at the same time pushing out his competitors. The cheap raw and abundance of maps soon made Lux-Mart a Mecca for strategy enthusiasts from across the world. As profits grew, Walton opened Lux-Marts at key points around the state so as to better corner the raw market. Now he is in a position to takeover the entire state! Using his state of the art private satellite network, Sacks has coordinated a bold initiative to inspire the low-paid managers of the Lux-Marts. Whoever can achieve the highest raw sales by the end of the quarter will get their picture hung up in the hallway! You are one of the managers, and it's time to prove yourself!

But remember, the customer is always right.]]> http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/Arkansas%20-%20Corporate%20Takeover Mark Bauer 2008-09-29T09:27:42-04:00
