Players are given a s 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. A typical game will see civilian casualties numbering in the millions megadeaths while players try their hand at annihilating their opponents.
In most games, all sides take heavy losses, but the player with the highest score wins. 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 the player's 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.
Most games last 30 to 40 minutes while real-time gameplay can last more than eight hours, depending on the mode of scoring. 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.
The game offers six territories that may be selected by a player or assigned to an AI opponent. DEFCON is a streamlined real-time strategy game, with no unit production except for automatic fighter regeneration , resource collection, or technology tree upgrades.
Players choose and position their forces at the beginning of the game. A countdown system prevents games from disintegrating prematurely. Each upgrade in alert level brings more possibilities. Once this occurs, a victory countdown begins 45 game minutes by default and the final score is announced when this countdown runs out.
