Strategic Operations

Summary of Story:

You play as a guerilla force, bent on liberating your country from oppression by force. Starting small with a large stockpile of supplies, outmaneuver enemy forces and exhaust their resources, or strike their weaker forces and distract their reinforcements. True liberation can only occur once every regime’s army is destroyed. How effective will you lead your forces?

 

Features:

• Unique RPG operational strategy wargame hybrid with stealth mechanics
• Maneuver and plan ambushes to recover loot to snowball your forces
• Battles draw out over turns, encouraging conflict only from a position of strength
• Sound design communicates limited game information, simulating limited intel
• Use supply wisely to starve out enemy forces, while maintaining your own
• Balance resources acquired from village with your political relationship with them
• Partial procedural generation of map
• Minimal and unique UX

 

Controls:

Left-click- Select

Right-click- Move the selected army of yours to an adjacent tile

Scrollup- Cycle through units or buildings on the tile selected, or hear different units when hovering over them (works on the fog or war)

Project Status  and Development:

This is a proof of concept to get feedback on the core gameplay loop involving the immersive use of sound. Plans for future development in the works based on player feedback. 

Some plans include:

• 4 more actions for armies: bombarding tiles causing destroyed buildings and tiles, torching tiles to cause fires and smoke to conceal and attract forces, split forces, and distribute resources on tile
• Day-night and weather system
• Strategic events based on faction relations, helping and hurting different factions in-game organically
