Welcome to DEFCON Expanded

Welcome to the Official Website for DEFCON Expanded, the 8-16 player mod for DEFCON. For decades DEFCON has only supported 6 player lobbies which was fine when the game was released in the early 2000s, however we decided that it's time for a change! The mod is months in the making and wouldn't have been possible without some talented people who are passionate about the game.

Our biggest project is adding the ability to download and watch the demos of these games using the Dedcon client, examples of this functionality for vanilla DEFCON is Group6 and SFCON which are linked if you want to check them out. Adding this functionality into our mod will make the mod feel more integrated and a lot more official. This project is still in its infancy however and we do recommend you report any bugs that you find here.

This website is also currently still in development, so don't be concerned if you see any issues or broken elements. I am currently making live changes so things might change quickly from one day to another, i hope everyone understands :)

New Gameplay Features

Bomber Launch (Empty)

The new empty bomber launch mode allows you to launch a bomber without arming a nuke, allowing you to use the bomber to pick up a warhead at the base of your choosing. This provides more strategic flexibility in managing your nuclear arsenal.

Color Picker

On opening the Alliance toolbar tab, you will see a new window that lists all of the team colors. You can now choose your team color, adding a new level of customization to your gameplay experience.
