I've noticed that the framerate in Defcon drops by HALF whenever I"m placing my Radar units and it does the whole "light/shadow" thing.. I've always noticed that the game slows down horribly to a crawling level whenever I'm placing radar units but it was only when I benchmarked it tha...

I apologize ahead of time for not being able to read the TEN pages of postings for this thread, but I had a quick question to the OP.. When you are talking about perfect synchronize of all the nukes, do you mean very tightly packed so that all 6 nukes land on a target city at the same moment, or if ...

Errors: ⋅  math.random: bad argument to 'random' (interval is empty) = if you have two arguments (int), then you probably have the high number first and low number second, which is an invalid range ⋅ e.g. math.random(2, 1) should be math.random(1, 2). Arg #1 = lowest int, Arg #2...

Asia vs North America 1vs1 First Strike Strategy http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/9189/lalan.th.jpg There are 6 player/teams in Defcon so therefore in a 1v1 scenario there are 30 possible plays . Playing as Asia vs NA is NOT the same as NA versus Asia. There are structural and strategic differenc...

Don't get me wrong, I used SuiSilo many times and consider it valid and if I were playing right now, I'd use it. My point was that once everybody figured out that Defcon can become a race for the biggest cities, Default Defcon became boring. It was no longer a game of skill where naval battles and ...

Thumbnail image instead of fullsize? Long ago, in the days of yore, Default Defcon was a game of skill, then came SuiSilos. Defcon degenerated into 'who can fire the fastest' and everybody used SuiSilos. The quickest draw would win every game and thus Default Defcon became extremely boring. Fortuna...

I came across this post yesterday, and although I realize this thread is like 3 years old, it was nonetheless an interesting read. I was very skeptical of this so-called "strategy" at first.. but after reading it through and getting bored of playing diplomacy where no one makes a move for ...

1-4 are the shortcuts for game-speed, +0 for pause , if it is enabled.

BTW - is there a quick way (like another keyboard shortcut) to toggle the "orders" toggle?

So you are saying carriers can only carry a maximum of two bombers at a time no matter what? ... Correct. Also, for reloading ships/bases with planes, don't just pick a point at random to send them. Instead, drag and click on the base/carrier and the plan will go straight there. You just have to be...

On Introversion's main page for Defcon there is a bots API section: http://www.introversion.co.uk/defcon/bots/ I read Robin Baumgarten's thesis on how he developed a bot for Defcon (with the source code that Introversion must have allowed him to use) that performs on average able to bet the CPU by 7...

Thanks, will definitely come in handy. No reason to bother with the speed bar anymore!

Carriers can only hold 2 bombers maximum and 5 fighters maximum. Edit: as for the "you can't do that beep" (which is irritating), it does happen on occasion where you see one thing but Defcon is looking at another. It get's even more frustrating when you can't release a bomber nuke. The b...

There is some videos made by gbcan, and stiffmeister on you tube. http://www.youtube.com/user/DefconPage#p/u/1/o_wOBCG64P0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQjgen5ZuJo Thanks, I will give them a view.. As a side note (aside from Defcon) is it just me or is YouTube getting really slow lately ? You'd t...

Hello all, I've been playing Defcon for a few weeks now and already read a lot of the good advice on this forum, finished the in-game tutorial (although it taught the basics, much of strategy and tactics were sorely lacking in that short tutorial..) I've tried searching around for the following ques...

Sorry if this has been asked before, but are there any good video sources like youtube,vimeo, etc videos where a beginner such as myself can use to reference and improve skill of play? I know there are verbal plenty of tips and strategies on this forum but was wondering if there are also more multim...
