Real time tactical board game, abstract graphics
You send commands to pods. Stack them up, move them around a procedurally generated board map known as a district. You need to re-conquer the districts of Earth and Solar System. Thousands of human and alien pods at your fingertips.
To conquer a district, move your target pod to the alien target tile. For victory, convert at least 80% of alien pods into your own pods, by covering your opponent's pods. Use your terraform pods to alter the terrain.
Game Controls
Pods from a selected perimeter can be instructed to defend / attack a target area, terraform and redefine the topology of the district.
Conquer Districts
Districts can be fought in any order by code, or in groups of nine forming Earth Campaigns. Statistics track how well you are doing at getting rid of Alien pods that occupy our Solar System. You can choose districts that are basic, or with large amounts of alien pods (thousands!), or requiring a lot of terraforming (more puzzle like).
Paths to Victory
Steam Leaderboard 'Earth Campaign 0' - tracks how many pods you and other players rescued across the nine districts in this campaign
Earth Medal - when 80% of pods in Earth Campaign are rescued
Blue Earth Medal - when 100% of pods in Earth Campaign are rescued (tricky to achievel)
Speed Run - for action oriented players who just want to conquer target tiles as fast as possible and skip pod rescue
Command Run - similar to Speed Run, but with a focus on conquering target tiles with the smallest amount of commands
All these different ways of winning, statistics and Earth Medals show up in your character page and in Steam leaderboard.
