Lunar Domination is a financial strategy game that combines traditional war strategy elements with business and finances. Lunar Domination pits you against a challenging opponent in a fight for the domination of the lunar ore market. Unlike most strategy games that you are probably used to, Lunar Domination has no weapons or violence of any kind. The only weapon that is available to you in this game is your mind.
Lunar Domination is based on the concept of a market economy, and revolves around the competition between you and your opponent. In order to defeat your opponent, you must be the first to fill the ore quotas of two of the three clients in the scenario. Accomplishing this involves buying land, constructing buildings, and of course mining and selling the ore to the clients. Six different buildings with a unique approach to game economy, land management and resource management combine to create a challenging and rewarding experience.
Main features:
- Quick introductory tutorial so you can start playing in just ten minutes.
- Turn based gameplay, so you can take your time to weigh your decisions.
- Adjustable difficulty level to make the game challenging, but not too hard.
- Large and small scenarios so you can pick how long you want to play.
- Runs on most computers including laptops, 3D graphics card not required.
Installation instructions:
If your distribution is LSB compliant, the installer will create a program group and desktop shortcut for you. Otherwise you will have to create a shortcut manually, or run the game from the command line.
To run the game from the command line, you must run the shell script named "launch_lunar_domination" that is located in the games install directory. Running the executable directly will not work.
Known issues:
To run the game you must have libc version 2.4 or higher installed. Recent versions of most Linux distributions meet this requirement. If you have an older version of a distribution, an appropriate update should be available for it from its maintainers to upgrade to libc 2.4.
If you are running the 64-bit version of Ubuntu, you will need to install the package "ia32-libs" if you have not done so already. This package provides support for running 32-bit applications. Other 64-bit Debian based distributions (including Debian itself) may require installation of this package as well if it was not installed by default.

Whether youre looking to provide feature- or time-limited demonstrations, staggered pricing options, controlled use environments, or any number of other licensing scenarios, LM-X has what you need. It lets you lock your application to a variety of criteria, meaning you can customize your application your precise licensing requirements, whatever they may be. For example, best-in-breed locking of licenses to hardware parameters means you can easily control the machines (and the number of machines) that can use your application, giving you a straightforward means of ensuring that you and your customers are in-sync when it comes to your licensing agreements.

Strong protection - straightforward implementation. LM-X is the product of years of development by dedicated security experts who have the deep domain knowledge to maximize protection and avoid the pitfalls that companies often fall into when they attempt to manage copy protection on their own.

License your software the way you want to. LM-X is designed to provide a great deal of flexibility, letting you design licenses that suit you and your customers--rather than licenses that simply suit your license management solution.
