When the young empress Cressida inherited the throne, a cabal of rich noblemen used her age as a pretext to take the throne by force.

Play as either empress Cressida or baron Egeus in the civil war that will decide the fate of the Dices Dominion.

Simple proof of concept for a turn based strategy game made in one week end for the 8th PP Jam.

Although I most likely won't try to improve this one I intend to use it as a base for other projects.

The bases of the game are explained in the "how to play" section of the main menu. I strongly recommand you read them. If anything is unclear here's a summary :

- End your turn by pressing the space bar or by clicking the solar watch at the top of the screen

- Lords move from provinces to provinces, every 4 turn you get a new lord if you have less that 3

- Lords conquer the provinces they visit, increasing your income

- Lords can recruit troops if they're stationed in a town, these troops posess their own dices and hp score.

- During a battle every troop throw their dice and apply their result based on the side they land on - If an army is destroyed, its opponent wins. If there's a tie the side with the stronger Mystique wins.

how did u do this much in less than 2 days? Also what is the mechanism behind your path finding between establishments. 

Hey, thanks for playing !

There isn't much secrets to how fast the game was developed : knowledge of the engine and hacky code.

As for the pathfinding mechanism : every province has a list of "neighbors" to which they are connected. When choosing a province to move to the AI will try to take the most advantageous one.
Note that I completely forgot to add a case where the AI wants to get back to a province it has already conquered so it gets stuck whenever too much of the board gets red. Oops.

Oh I was wondering why the enemy never goes back to its own establishment
