North America: Includes all of the contiguous United States, mainland Canada and Alaska.The game offers six territories that may be selected by a player or assigned to an AI opponent. There is also an "Office" mode of play in which the game is permanently real-timed and can be minimised to run in the background of other computer activities, allowing the player to check in only when important events take place, and only for so long as it is necessary to modify the standing orders of each of the player's assets. Most games last 30 to 40 minutes while real-time gameplay can last more than eight hours, depending on the mode of scoring. Gameplay time can be varied by configuring the speed at which events progress from real-time (1 second in-game:1 second out-of-game) to 20* real-time. Players' scores are determined according to one of three schemes: Default (gain 2 points for 1 megadeath caused, lose 1 point for 1 megadeath suffered), Survivor (gain 1 point per million survivors in your territory) or Genocide (gain 1 point for each megadeath caused) though functionally identical in a one-on-one conflict, each scoring scheme suggests large differences in strategy in larger multiplayer conflicts. In most games, all sides take heavy losses, but the player with the highest score wins. A typical game will see civilian casualties numbering in the millions (megadeaths) while players try their hand at annihilating their opponents. Players are given a 1980s vector graphics computer-themed world map, a varied arsenal of nuclear and conventional weaponry, and a primary objective: destroy as much of the enemy's population as possible while having as little of one's own population destroyed as possible.
