Rules:

2. 24 hours afk until you are skipped and your Build Queue and fudge production will be paused. If you do not have any actions to perform, do not just wait for time to expire... post "wait" in a spoiler.
3. 48 hours afk until you are removed. If you become unable or do not wish to continue, do not just disappear... say that you are dropping out.
4. Weekends are excluded.

If you catch an error right away I will try to make it right. I will give a small evasion bonus to a missplaced unit.
I do enforce these limits as promised.

MANUAL

SquadCraft: Roguelike Turn-based Strategy
Spoiler: Basics (click to show/hide)
SquadCraft is an RTS inspired forum game. This is a game where you design your own units and capture the enemy hex. The information is spoilered and you have a fog of war.

Here is a glossary of terms and objects you will encounter during play.

Army: Your unit "menu".

Squad: Your active units on the map.

Unit: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Upgrades:
At the start of each match you may choose 1 permanent upgrade.
A. (Cookie Jar Upgrade) Your barriers make an alert noise when an enemy is near. Indicating which barrier.
B. (Top Shelf Upgrade) Barriers can be switched at the start of each turn between retracted into the ground or raised back up.
C. (Graham Cracker Upgrade) You can build an extra 2 barriers.
D. (Heigh-Ho Upgrade) Workers gain +1 resource collection but sing when collecting, leave a trail of crumbs when moving, and are blind to their surroundings.

Starting Area (Construction Zone): The top or bottom two rows of hexes that you happen to start on. Fudge Pools in this zone are called "local", and you will know where they are.

(https://i.imgur.com/lUVRjUF.png) Portal: Where you summon your units. If a portal is captured (moved onto) when the owner has either no fudge pools or active units, they lose.

Phase Order:
1. Stationary Action*
2. Movement
3. (*or) Arrival Action
4. Income
5. Summoning
ALL units can move, can act, can be fully used each turn.

Priority: Within a phase, higher value units will resolve movement and attacks first, and randomly when tied. Though with movement, going fewer spaces is even higher priority.

Worker: You can summon a worker for free. 1 per turn.
♥ Dies from any attack.
→ Move 1 space.
★ Melee attack for 0 damage.
★ Build a barrier or a unit with no movement options in your construction zone, on a nearby space.

(https://i.imgur.com/uNqYYKJ.png) Barriers (Walls): Cost 3 fudge. A structure that blocks movement. You can build up to 3 in your construction zone, they do not need to connect.

(https://i.imgur.com/Uir9YPu.png) Fudge Pool: Move onto a fudge pool(brown spot) to increase your unit cap by 2, and generate 2 fudge each turn.

Countdown Clock: The game will end if no one captures a fudge pool for 10 turns. This reset countdown will be displayed when all pools are owned.

(https://i.imgur.com/OTXTCvS.png) Fudge Cost: Your units will be assigned a fudge cost, and can be summoned on your portal space. You can unsummon them to free your food limit, but do not regain fudge.

Queue (Build Order): you will build things in your queue as soon as you can afford them, unless you adjust or remove items beforehand.

Mercenaries: Cheap units that either side can recruit. When you own atleast 1 the opponent cannot buy that unit, until all are eliminated. 2 available from the start.

(https://i.imgur.com/RnhrPmz.png) Rouges: Rouges hide in the unseen corners of battle, scout them out for powerful allies. Dies from any attack while disguised.

(https://i.imgur.com/kRhylwY.png) Fudge:
Ingredients
• 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
1) Place chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter or margarine in large microwaveable bowl.
2) Zap in microwave on medium until chips are melted, about 3-5 minute, stirring once or twice during cooking. Stir in nuts, if desired.
3) Pour into well-greased 8x8-inch glass baking dish. Refrigerate until set.

Post by: RoseHeart on July 19, 2019, 12:43:36 am: I want to start this as soon as I can. But first I need to do some rapid testing to make sure the end game is smooth.

So if you'd be interested in some live discord sessions. Say so here or PM, or go here:

I may use poo poo artwork and other shortcuts, but I'll be back to my regular poo poo premium artwork when we roll it back on forums.

Post by: RoseHeart on July 20, 2019, 02:51:09 pm: The casual test matches, have concluded.

Unit registration is now open.
Title: Re: SquadCraft tournament
Post by: Failbird105 on July 20, 2019, 02:55:10 pm: So just PM you the units as before?
Title: Re: SquadCraft tournament
Post by: RoseHeart on July 20, 2019, 03:05:48 pm: Yes, feel free to tweak, reuse, make new units, or some combination. 3 units. No stats greater than 5.

If you just want to be vague and say "it has strong attacks" I can stat it out for you too... Anything if fine. But I will simplify things that would be too complex. Other than that, hit me with your best shot.

Fire away.

Also, going to use these turn requirements:

24 hours skip
48 hours removed
Title: Re: SquadCraft tournament
Post by: Failbird105 on July 20, 2019, 03:33:55 pm: Alright, and I take it you aren't going to be doing that 'make your own building' thing you mentioned at some point either?
Title: Re: SquadCraft tournament
Post by: RoseHeart on July 20, 2019, 04:12:22 pm: No, but walls will come back. So keep in mind: while you will use one army, you can change your upgrades between each match.
Title: Re: SquadCraft tournament (unit submissions open)
Post by: RoseHeart on July 20, 2019, 04:38:59 pm: Most RTS's do this weird thing where, units are giants and buildings are tiny. It makes sense in a real-time game for control and to be easy to see.

However, one advantage I feel a roguelike turn-based approach offers, is that you can have more intimate, full size structures. For now I think custom walls are a good start.

You are welcome to make more traditional stationary structures, using your unit slots(like you did with ARF-TILLERY, though I'd recommend an ability to be spawned near a worker).

Edit: Actually, I think I'll make that standard! Units with no movement options can be summoned near a worker.

Edit: My bad, I am always mixing you and TheRedwolf up. Sorry! Wolf made it.
Title: Re: SquadCraft tournament (unit submissions open)
Post by: Failbird105 on July 20, 2019, 06:05:55 pm: Alright, and finally is it yes or no on licensed characters/factions? I noticed you deleted your post about saying yes to that in the casual thread, so I was just wondering. Doesn't explicitly effect my faction, but I was just wondering.

Post by: RoseHeart on July 24, 2019, 02:14:26 pm: (( That's tricky. And understandable. The best solutions I can see are having a tournament with premade armies from the previous king of the hill, with updated prices made known, which I might do.

And the other thing is when making units, you specify your desired price, and what stats and features you are willing to scale to reach them.

I try to consider a lot of factors when I price things out, so if any of you felt I misrepresented a unit, which has happened justifiably, I wouldn't want to do the math before you accept.

Finally, there is just simply taking notice of how I priced units in past battles. My formula changes, but it's a good reference to gauge what you will get. My formula guidline is also posted in the Player's Manual. ))

Spoiler: Re: KINDA FLUFFY (click to show/hide)
Are you suggesting a movement phase then an attack phase? if you are or not it is an interesting idea. Though I'd need to reduce game length in half to make up for it in future versions when I could add that. Not sure if that's ideal.

For now attacks/actions must also be declared the turn they are to happen as all phases(stationary action, movement, arrival action, income, summoning) process each round.

((The game seems fairly stable, and we might do another one to take advantage of that. I suppose you could send it to someone, to keep it secret. Or just use it yourself. Let's see if the need or desire for changes come up, or the desire for another session.))

You do. I will make that more clear in the instructions. My apologies.

Nice catch. I actually intended for capture benefits to be permanent until recaptured, but players didn't seem to take advantage of it. 3 games and dozens upon dozens of turns later, I just got rid of it.

This is why you see the green "check" in the early matches.

And I'm sorry that 'the exact moment I saw the PM' wasn't early enough I guess.

Honestly, at this point I'm just going to forfeit, there was exactly one chance for me to turn this game around and it got skipped. I've already lost, it just hasn't been written yet.

You had since August 30th, that you procrasted is tough luck, I am sorry.

...Also if your move hadn't been skipped think about this "opportunity". You would have still lost the gingerbread worker, lowering your cap to 2/2. You would not have summoned the Golden Watcher.

You have a day to reconsider. 24 hours, as always.
Title: Re: SquadCraft: Tides of Dark Chocolate //17//
Post by: RoseHeart on September 02, 2019, 06:50:23 pm: I'll give Failbird the typical 24 hour window to take a turn, after that I will assume they have forfeit which is totally acceptable for a competitive game like this.

Title: Re: SquadCraft: Tides of Dark Chocolate //END//
Post by: Failbird105 on September 02, 2019, 08:02:32 pm: Well, one thing I will say is that I feel a little like I kinda wasted a unit slot getting the gumdrop guards.
If there's anything to take away from that it's that swarm units don't really work, because by the time you're making them you'll probably be able to afford something better, and you aren't going to be able to field the numbers needed to make a swarm strategy work.
Also, speed is apparently a really big factor in cost.

speed
~~..of income?~~

oic, movement in relation to cost, based on how I priced them.

Were there any units you felt were made useless(or overpowered) by how I priced them? Thanks for the feedback.

Post by: Kashyyk on September 03, 2019, 01:37:56 am: Holy carp, how do you have almost 60 fudge stockpiled?

I think I'd want to tweak my Marine Weasel and Mysterious Stranger if I were to play again, various things about them meant that just waiting for another Bear Cavalry was by far the best option.

I can't really say, I didn't really have the chance to look into just what would be a particularly powerful unit and how much they would cost compared to others.

I just wasn't spending my fudge, my units where fairly cheap, so that coupled with the upgrade that caused me to gain extra fudge led to me easily stockpiling far more fudge than I could ever use.
Title: Re: SquadCraft: Tides of Dark Chocolate //END//
Post by: Kashyyk on September 03, 2019, 06:04:41 am: I'd say movement speed was quite powerful. The ability for me to lose a Bear Cavalry and then move the new one straight into the front lines without any noticeable delay really helped.

In comparison, the Marine Weasel's slow movement meant I couldn't respond to changes on the front line quickly enough, and the Mysterious Stranger's poor accuracy stopped it from its main job of assassinating workers/artillery units.

I think having a higher squad cap would be a good incentive for deploying more cheap units.

Btw since the match is over, the prohibition on viewing opponent and spectator spoilers has lifted.

Any ideas for a title?
I kind of like something KitRougard said. Tactical Hell.

Do you think the timelimits were too harsh or I enforced them too strictly? Exact text:
Quote
2. 24 hours afk until you are skipped and your Build Queue and fudge production will be paused. If you do not have any actions to perform, do not just wait for time to expire... post "wait" in a spoiler.
3. 48 hours afk until you are removed. If you become unable or do not wish to continue, do not just disappear... say that you are dropping out.
4. Weekends are excluded.
Title: Re: SquadCraft: Tides of Dark Chocolate //END//
Post by: Kashyyk on September 03, 2019, 10:50:49 am: I'd personally change it to be a soft 24 hour limit, rather than a hard one. That would let people post after the deadline and still be able to play, but they can't guarantee that you won't have posted the turn before they complete their actions.

Alternatively, I'd recommend announcing that actions are locked in and then starting the turn, so you don't have that awkward moment where you're about to post the turn and get the new message notification from someone who just finally posted their actions.

I'm not sure on the title. We never really had more than two combat units each at a time, so SquadCraft doesn't feel quite right. If the squad cap was upped, or if workers didn't count towards it, (maybe with their own cap of 1 + owned fudge pools?) it would fit better.

I know, I've been looking. There just really wasn't any actual 'Strong unit vs strong unit' matches for me to judge off of.

I'm pretty sure Tactical Hell is the name of another game on here.

Also, nah, it probably didn't help my reaction that the turn came when I was tired and ornery.
