Control Tactics
About
In this multiplayer strategy game, you can do quite literally anything you want with your powerful robot units. Move multiple times across the board, attack multiple enemies, at once, endlessly upgrade themselves, you name it! However, there´s but one resource that limits their potential : your own control over them.
In this far, far future, you´re commanding the units from very very far away, so you have a very limited of communication with these units; a limited amount of orders you can send to them. And, if you don´t mantain communication with a given unit, then the very CONTROL you have over them will fade away, leaving them open to be STOLEN by an enemy with sufficient control.
As such, CONTROL is your single most important resource, which you can use to do basically anything you want, but it´s so important, that you may have have to make certain strategic sacrifices. For instance, if you´re just one attack away from flanking and killing an important strategic objective, but have just 1 CONTROL left, then you may have to choose between using that last resource to kill the objective while leaving a powerful unit uncontrolled and vulnerable to being stolen, or maintaining that unit and delaying the attack, thus losing you valueable momentum.
While the game does have a tutorial, here are all the actions you can perform:
-> Maintaining communication with your units, thus keeping them on your side.
>Stealing an uncontrolled unit from your enemy
->Moving your units
->Attack ingwith your units
->Build a new unit, which may be of 3 types:
.Jets, which though weak, are perfect for sneaking behind enemy lines and stealing units.
.Tanks, which offer pure firepower at the cost of speed.
.Forts, which are brilliant on the deffense.
->Upgradeing a unit
->Build a radio tower, which grants you +1 control per turn, but may be easily captured by an enemy.
-> Upgrade a radio tower/your HQ, powering their defenses
Goal: Using your CONTROL to destroy the enemy´s HQ;
