Rectangular Warfare
A downloadable game
An attempt at a "war" game with a less drastic emphasis on APM, knowledge of military equipment, and resource management whilst still holding onto tactics.
Premise:
Move a cursor around, place rectangles, try and get them to the other side. They'll also fight the other player's rectangles. Changing your mode lets you change your options.
Modifications:
Delete compOne.txt and compTwo.txt to modify the timing of computer opponents (or just manually edit either of them).
Delete playersettings.txt to both enable/disable computer opponents and change the stats of each player.
Deck Format:
Melee
Ranged
Support
Ambush
1st Mode:
Infantry - Very basic. Moves and attacks.
Archer - Also very basic. Shoots arrows and stays still. Will leave and return when out of ammo.
Medic - Heals certain units it touches but can't fight.
Side Archer - Shoots vertically towards the center.
2nd Mode:
Flamethrower - Splash damage unit.
Sniper - Ranged unit with projectiles that only hits "squishy" units like Archers and Medics. Will leave and return when out of ammo.
Scutum - Typical tank.
Dragoon - Speedy melee unit that zig zags and takes less damage from projectiles. Blocks Sniper bullets.
3rd Mode:
Beetle Tank - Explodes on contact.
Gas Artillery - Ranged unit that lowers maximum health rather than health; prevents healing. Will leave and return when out of ammo.
Vehicle - Helps push slow units and non-moving units in a forward zig zag.
Combat Engineer Tunnel - Acts similar to Nydus Canals (more or less teleportation), albeit non-moving units instantly go to the most recent one. Also can heal escaping units.
Controls (inspired by MBAACC):
IJKL or WASD - Movement
UO or QE - Mode Change
C or Left Arrow - Place Melee Unit
V or Down Arrow - Place Ranged Unit
B or Right Arrow - Place Support Unit
F or Up Arrow - Place Ambush Unit
