war of the eight

Design

Status: DRAFT

Constraints

The puzzle game should be for eight players with the 4X experiences and only two actions: move, trade. Additionally, the player should control only one character.

Spin-off

I would like implement several Spin-off before the huge 4X puzzle!

:dart: The Goal

Become the best trader among the height. travel the road and deal the resources with the cities. Your deals develop the city and increase your trust. With these actions, you can obtain a decisive victory. Otherwise accumulate the biggest amount of gold.

:heavy_check_mark: Rules

:trophy: Victory Conditions

several ways are offered to win the game, but everybody score.

Condition of the end:

  • Economics condition: the first trader get X gold.
  • Political condition: the first trader controls Y cities’ council.
  • Military condition: the first trader controls Z cities’ military staff.
  • Exploratory condition: the first trader Discovery all artefacts.
  • Timeout condition: T turns.

Exploratory condition is an early game strategy. And the military condition is a counter and late game strategy.

The scoring

  • The player that have triggered the end of the game: X
  • The others players : amount of player’s gold

Obviously for the timeout case, all players score the amount of his gold.

:skull_and_crossbones: Defeat Conditions

  • issue conditions: you do not respond in due time (M ms) or output an invalid command.

Expand your influence

The referee considers the best trust and development index for each city:

  • no control: trade, move for everyone.
  • a player controls the city’s council: trade only for the player.
  • a player controls the military staff: move and trade only for the player.
