PC: D.E.F.C.O.N. Nuclear Extravaganza

I just played the tutorial.

I won. This made me feel happy.




Then I watched the rolling demo.

Now I'm scared.

By the way, if anybody wants to make this game earlier - I'm all for it. Of course we'd all have to agree which might be tough, but OH WELL.

Earlier is difficult for me. Later isn't, but AzH may be too drunk to focus if we leave it too late.

Ill be online for the next few hours but might have to step away from time to time. I am under the impression that this will play out slow enough that any breaks won't matter. Are we going to team up against the computer or FFA? I like the coop if we can until we all get the hang of the game.







(im scared)

I'm ready whenever. I'm not sure where AzH is, but he's not on Steam, so I'll assume he's busy drinking.

We got a couple games in and it was pretty fun. More people would make it even better.

Yeah, that was a giggle. Even though I had my backside well and truly handed to me. Thanks to my naive tactics, About 75 million South Americans are dust right now. :-/

I'd join in but... US$10? Eh. If it comes on sale and you guys are still on it I'll probably take the bait.

eBay it.

I think you should be able to play with us with a demo version as long as we use some really basic rules or something. Not sure about the limitations, but look into it.

Nah, demo version limits you to 1v1 if I recall correctly.

Jason it looks like you are right about the demo. I grabbed this off the official DEFCON page...

Demo Features and Limitations

You may play the single player Tutorial, and you may play a single player game against one AI opponent. (The full game permits six player games with any of those teams played by AI)

This demo has working multiplayer, over LAN and Internet.

You can set up any multiplayer game, but you can only have a maximum of two players in your game (The full game permits six player games). You may only play the Default game mode.

You can join any multiplayer game, but only if there are no Demo players already playing in that game, and only if the game is using the Default game mode.
In other words, only one Demo user may join any one game at any time.

You may specate any game of any size.

Demo Users may not play any of the advanced Game Modes: Office Mode, Diplomacy, Speed Defcon, Tournament Mode.

You can upgrade the Demo to the Full Game at any time - simply enter your purchased Authentication Key into the Demo Client and it will automatically upgrade. No further download is required.

So I joined Steam (since I wanted to get Deus Ex and replay it ) and decided to grab DEFCON while I'm at it..... so if you guys need an extra, I'm in.

The more nukes the better. I need to play this game some more so I can get some strategies in order. when we played before my entire plan was to hit defcon one and launches everything the second it was available. Oops

that was also my plan. Unfortunately for us, while we were busy bombing the crap out of each other (and the Rapebot was nuking me to kingdom come to boot), Konrad was watching and waiting... and laughing.

And just when I rose on top, Backdorian snuck in through the Back Door and bombed me to high hell and all the way down to third place.
