Play vs AI in Single Player!


AI Difficulty varies with pre-game settings.
AI Kingdoms do not need resources nor will they have army size restrictions in order to deploy soldiers.

EASY
Difficulty - AI will not research upgrades, will have 75% of base max health, will have no commander, and will send out mediocre-sized waves of troops to attack. This difficulty setting is good if you're new to the game and seek to learn the basics.
NORMAL Difficulty - AI will research upgrades once, will be led by a commander, and will send out moderate-sized waves of troops to attack. This difficulty setting is for those who seek to continuously improve their skills in battles that are usually the same level with PVP matches.
INSANE Difficulty - AI will research upgrades up to max, will have 125% of base max health, will be led by a commander ahead in terms of level, and will send out large-sized waves of troops to attack. This difficulty setting is for those who are above the average players in terms of skill, and for those seeking a real challenge.


207122-d419ed019c8bb47c9204f221f2a7f964.png

Once in a while, disasters will occur and will disrupt kingdoms with various effects.


Drought - Reduces a kingdom's current gold and deployment points.
Rebellion - Rebellious soldiers will appear in a kingdom's Barracks and attack.
Plague - Disease will spread across a kingdom, and will continuously drain nearby soldiers' health.
Monsoon - A storm will arise, summoning multiple waves of lightning that can damage soldiers outside the kingdoms' inner area.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION
  • A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
  • A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
  • Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

Tried the map out a bit, pretty neat and simple concept.
From what I see, the game is supposed to simulate commanding an army from a commander's perspective; with general commands instead of specific micros, I think that is interesting.

A complaint I do have about the map is the way troops are produced,
you have select the unit spawning beacon then click the barracks or castle to produce one unit.

While I feel like this was a conscious decision to keep the map small in scale, it doesn't really work out as well in play, as the player would have to keep the camera on barracks or castle to continue producing troops.

Not the most engaging way to go about things to be honest, would appreciate it the system was adjusted so I can look at the battlefield or units fighting while training the units needed to keep the game running; perhaps being able to designate which barracks/castle to use and then transitioning to spawning units with the hotkeys so the player camera can travel to more...engaging places.

Overall I quite like the map's concept so far and the weab general options and their different styles of command was a nice bonus.
Would also like to see an expanded player limit, something like 3+ player FFA or 2v2 with shared objectives (or same base) could be cool, though I understand it is a new project and keeping the scope small is wise.

p.s. nobu op af, amiya's skills are underwhelming considering how much of a pain they are to use. 👀
