PELAGIUM origins

Somehow managed to reinvent trench warfare Lol

Amazing game wish I knew how the combat worked.

Can you add spectate mode it seems like it will be fun seeing the ai fight

Very nice piece of coding! I like this project, especially for the simplicity of the game. I managed to play it without the tutorial, so i guess it is pretty much self explaining. 

The only thing that is not very intuitive are the icons used for the units. Maybe you could use less abstract icons.

I agree with the comments that criticize the final stage of a match. At the beginning movement is quick and the AI can surprise you by sneaking in and conquering a city. At the end there are so many units that the game becomes very static. And when I control a certain number of cities the AI has no chance to win the match anymore. It is just a question of time for a player to line up units and conquer the last cities. Maybe you could add an optional short game, where the match is won with the control of less cities. Or make the cities produce less units towards the end of the game.

Does the AI use any artillery? In the matches I have played so far, the AI has never produced artillery. That is a big disadvantage: when I line up my units (1st row cavalry, 2nd row infantry and 3rd row artillery) the AI has no way to break through, as the artillery will always increase my chances to win and simply makes the difference.

Another suggestion: you could consider adding more terrain types: mountains, rivers, swamp and especially roads. The game reminds me of The Perfect General (early 1990s). In that game moving units on roads would increase their speed significantly. That could also solve the reinforcement problems, that were mentioned here (having to move units from remote cities to the front line).

When there are 3 or more players there could be an option to make allies. To keep the game simple you could simply train the AI to stop attacking a player when that player has not attacked the AI for a certain period time. Alliances could bring new tactical options to the game. ... And the AI could sometimes be nasty and attack the player anyway.

Do factions get specific bonuses? One AI cavalry can take a city from one defending player cavalry or infantry supported by one infantry. But one player cavalry supported by two infantry and two artillery, failed two assaults and was destroyed on a third, against a city held by one AI cavalry supported by one infantry. On the other hand AI infantry seems to be somewhat easier to dislodge than player infantry. 

TLDR: AI cavalry is OP and player troops are half as good as theirs, with infantry being the only exception.

P.S. This occurred back to back, once when I was blue and once as red.

Looking forward to game updates. However, I can't understand how the battle odds work? Is there some formula? Is it like a dice roll, with every attack point giving 1 extra 6 head dice?

A single infantry attack on a settlement, directly guarded by one infantry, surrounded by 2x supporting infantry tiles + 2 artillery in support range seems to lose way too often than expected.

As a long-time strategy fan, this game is a minimalistic boil down of a big strategy title, that contains the essence of a 4X strategy game without the clutter. No need to forcefully learn predetermined developer decisions on game progression - intuitive and thoughtful.

psst add ship and planes (bombers not fighters mosty bombers)

this was my second try this time as green becuase blue sucks

Very nice classic war game.  
Hardest game is, I think, Smaloe map with player playing blue, and AI playing yellow and magenta.

I'd like a harder map, but I think I'm just a glutton for punishment.

It would be nice to have a map editor, though.

I just want to say that this game is great. Simple but deep and engaging.

just to say, I'm still supporting. Hope your doing fine. 

Also I would like to know if I'm just lucky or I'm making good decisions. Does 0.6 odds and 61 battles won good? I did win.

I had a great time playing with this game. I've achieved victory in every map with green factions  I just hope battles can be soon recorded ingame 

This is my lattest game so far

Thank you for Creating this game

I had a lot of fun playing this game, I have won every campaign I've played. Maybe because I'm good or just luck but I still enjoyed.

If you wanted any feedback then the only one from me is adding borders. I would look cool as it will be expanding and retreating. I have enjoyed it, I wish you well.

I like the in-depth strategy in this game. I have played the map Aborigina several times by now and I quite like it. Some places are more disadvantaged than others but that's for my part of the charm. 

For example, the position of red was far more than the other two starting positions. The settlements 25,6 and 16,11 were easy to grab, where settlement 22,13 was somewhat contested by blue in the first 7 rounds. But blues intentions quickly drew towards green. And as for 13,12 it depended on green and you, how fast you want to capture it. But you still have to assemble a large enough force to repel them because of the RNG or even play on the defensively for a while. This leaves you at the beginning of the game in the 15-25 rounds with 4-5 settlements. But you still far from being unbeatable if you decide to go on the offensive in the early game. 

Blue was quite the opposite, with only 24,24 as an easy grab. You had to rely on speed to capture the settlements 19,24; 19,17 and 22,13 let alone holding it. To put it in the perspective of the viewer: After the capture of the three settlements. I was constantly on the defensive and was only able to strike at their weakest moment. There were many times the lines cracked under the pressure, many times I had to give up a settlement.

I only had won 1 time as bleu, maybe because of the RNG. I wasn't able to re-create that situation ever since. But damn that was fun. I had slightly fewer battles than the two A.I's combined.

What's going on here - twice I tried to pay 2.50$ and now ended up with a blank page both times - now I don't know whether I've actually purchased it or not - and not only that, where's the 70MB zip file. All I've ended up with is a 'Play in Browser' 751 kib file? so again I ask what's going on here?

Finely got there - and got the 70MB zip file.

Now I can say - this is a good, yet simple enough game to get into and enjoy. I really do like it. Yes, it could do with so more stuff doing to it (like maybe a really easy mode choice, for the likes of someone like me who enjoys the success of winning straight off), but it's really worth having and enjoying it - do continue to develop it further. A good little game, keep up the good work.

Can't download the game because there are no files to download.

Good game.

I like how it's much more strategic that tactical in depth.
It's not so much about how you command in combat, but how you prepare for battles that decides about it.

A bit too heavy on RNG at times and some battles can go against all odds, but not yet at the point of being annoying.

Are you considering further development?

Things like naval transport, more map assets, like roads, forts and swamps, unit abilities (infantry gains +1 def if not moving, cavalry gains bonus attack if flanking, etc.) are first things that come to mind, that may be added to enrich the game experience.

Awesome Game!
