Entry for js13kGames 2023 (theme: 13th Century).

This is a post-jam version, but still compatible with jam's rules.


Take control over one of 4 kingdoms and unite the land under your rule.

Recruit, move armies and conquer your neighbors.


Features:

  • Up to 4 players local multiplayer (hot seat)
  • Computer controlled opponents
  • Map generation
  • 3 map sizes (10, 16 and 36 regions)
  • ​​​​Full screen mode (if supported)​

Tips:

  • To buy / send troops you have to click region owned by you first.
  • You can move your troops only to directly neighboring regions.​​
  • After recruiting, moving or attacking, used troops cannot move or attack till the next turn (but can defend the region).
  • During attack either attacker or defender can receive advantage: 0-50% increase to army strength.​​


Known issues

Game is using SVG graphics extensively which can cause problems with rendering on Safari browser (both macOS and iOS).​ The other browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge) display game properly.​

Man, that was quite good! I got to enjoy dominating every other kingdom as I want to. Although not sure where did I got that much gold (81 gold each round, completed it under 7 rounds) when there's just 10 regions when I played. Though 36 region looks cool and so does 16.
Graphically, it looks somewhat basic. Although nice borders, nothing much else other than it may come from somewhere around 2010 to about 2014-ish...

Other than that, looks sweet. However, there are quirks, like that you should not disable all teammates otherwise, it's stuck. Or that I get 81 gold even if I'm not on 36 region size (Economy boom perhaps…).

A nice simple strategic game not much bugs. But otherwise a fine game.
Four stars.

Nice game! It needs some stuff I suppose, graphics or sound maybe? But you know, I am fine with that as it is.
