Lux is a , such as the ability to use a starting scenario, or set continent values to increase as the game goes on.

Like Risk_game, 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. The ranking system is very competitive, and has evolved into a 2 tiered system where each player has a score in the current month, as well as a seeded place depending on the last 16 weeks of play. The player base is relatively small (about 500 regular online players), but many of them are fairly hardcore.

Lux is distributed as a shareware product, with a free demo available and the full version requiring a one-time purchase. 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.
