  • Export saves: export the savegame files from your browser, so you can switch to another browser or computer. You can also use them in an emulator installed on your computer.
  • Import saves: import savegames that you exported before with the Export saves button.
  • Download disk: export the whole game from your browser, with all your savegames. Useful to switch to an emulator installed on your computer.
  • Reset game files: if you somehow messed up the game files, you can reset them to an exact copy of the original.
  • Reset saves: delete all savegames from your browser. We recommend that you export them first: there is no turning back!
Import saves?

The saves in the zip file replace your saves that have the same name. If the game runs, it starts again.

Reset game files?

This puts back all the files that the game came with, also the files that you deleted or changed. Files that the game made, such as saves, stay. If the game keeps a save in one of its own files, that save is lost. If the game runs, it starts again.

Delete your saves?

This deletes all your saves and all your changes to this game. You cannot undo this. To keep a copy, export your saves first. If the game runs, it starts again.

The goal is survival. If you survive, you win. Also, if everyone dies... it's a win.

Starting steps.
Pick four opponents, then click on "Nuclear War"
Press return to get the cursor.
Click Build, then the grey/silver "Nuclear war" button.
Watch who is targeting you... try to eliminate the strongest faction or the enemy always targeting you.
Build often, every second turn, if possible, but not every turn (YOU'RE STOCKPILING!)
Good luck! (You'll need it to survive NUCLEAR WAR!) :)

For those who cant see the cursor after picking a char : It will come back when you press Enter, which is also the end-turn hotkey :)
