Title: Everybody dies
Post by: moot on October 01, 2006, 05:45:05 AM

No gore, nor extraordinary eye candy besides a simple map, and your chess pieces (silos, planes, boats, subs etc).  Sort of like a Diplomacy game with nukes, simpler.
You can make alliances (6 players per game IIRC), the game is pretty much all strat..  It doesn't seem to have much micromanagement.
It's 15$ for the full game, demo is limited to 2 players.  There's also an "office" mode, in 1x time compression, and an extra large map mode, which lenghtens the game.

Their servers are hosed with traffic, at the moment. (http://www.everybody-dies.com/)
Wikipedia has a an article on it, in the meantime...

Just one bump :)
The strat is really great, and there's no resource/research mouse-clicking farming race.

Buy it from Introversion's website, though, Steam's distribution is still hosed.
