![]() Video: Cartoonish steam-punk which suits it well, units are easy to identify but avoids the uncanny valley. what's the dropship/troop transport for? Transporting troops to areas that you couldn't get them to otherwise. Or if his entire base is on a particularly weak patch you might be able to use the cannon to take down a large part with a single shot. Enemy have a bunch of buildings clustered in one area of the board? Well if you can get close, and dump a cheap harvester on that spot, chances are they might lose it all in just a few turns. The tricky part is that you can use that to your advantage. Because if any adjacent tile goes down into the abyss, it'll cause those critical tiles to fall in as well, in a chain reaction. Pillars that have only one layer are particularly vulnerable to that sort of thing. And harvesters take the pillar they are on and all adjacent tiles/pillars down one notch per turn. You dig too deep and the pillars will crumble, dumping anything on them off of the game board, depriving you of space to build, passage to new areas, as well as whatever expensive building you'd put up there. Some are stacked quite high, others only have a couple of layers separating you from. Each tile on the game board is esentially a pillar made of layers. Well this game plays it a little differently. Some of the time this was actually a good thing. ![]() When we played warcraft, or starcraft all that would happen is that more of the board would be exposed. They take resources from the immediate surroundings and put it into our pocket as credits, so that we can afford to build our various weapons of mass destruction. This is a pretty standard feature for most of us. Each shot kills up to 5 enemy foot-soldiers and does a little damage to the surrounding countryside. But you have to provide them with ammunition, and something to hit within a reasonable distance. They use ammuntion to shoot things for you. They can also help you to produce cannons, or dropships that are single use troop transporters.Ĭannons you say? Yes, they do exactly what you'd think a cannon would do. ![]() They make foot-soldiers for you, up to eight per turn, assuming you've got enough cash to pay for them. ![]() They've got a limited range, only a few spaces if they're on your territory, or just a single space if they have to go out and capture the territory for you. Need to kill 6 enemy soldiers? Send at least 6 of your own, or more because you're going to lose 6 as well. They can also kill opposing foot-soldiers on a very pure 1:1 ratio. They can move onto new tiles to capture them for your faction. There are only a handful of types of pieces and the functions that they perform are more often than not, also very simple. You need to capture of destroy enemy pieces. There is a board of hexagonal tiles for out to place your pieces on. Not long after, players discover that there's a world of strategy involved. Almost anyone can grasp the concept fairly quickly and begin playing after only the very briefest of learning curves. These are all games that on the surface appear to be dead simple. In the electronic arena, who can deny the pac-man series, or the tetris family of games as games that changed the face of gaming forever? Settlers of catan looks like it's set to join those ranks in the future. Others like connect four go-muku or it's smaller cousin tic-tac-toe othello or it's twin, reversi checkers and that game we all played as a child where you made boxes out of a matrix of dots, they are all long-lasting favourites. Games like go and mancala are ancient, stretching back thousands of years. ""]YouTube - Greed Corp official gameplay trailer ![]()
