State of War Strategy Game，State of War Strategy Game Design

Game Overview

"State of War" is a turn-based strategy game where players command a military faction to defeat an opponent by destroying their base. The game features grid-based movement, unit management, and tactical combat.

Core Mechanics

1. Grid System:

   • Map Size: 10x10 grid.
   • Terrain: Plains (no effects), Forests (reduce movement by 1), Mountains (impassable).
   • Visibility: Units reveal adjacent cells (8 directions).

2. Factions:

   • Player: Starts at top-left corner (0,0).
   • AI Opponent: Starts at bottom-right corner (9,9).
   • Bases:
     • Health: 1000 HP.
     • Function: Produce units and generate resources.
     • Destruction: Ends the game.

3. Units: | Unit | Cost | HP | Attack | Movement | Range | Special Ability | |------------|------|-----|--------|----------|-------|-----------------------| | Soldier| 10 | 100 | 15 | 2 | 1 | None | | Tank | 30 | 200 | 40 | 3 | 1 | Crushes Forests | | Artillery| 50 | 150 | 75 | 1 | 4 | Area damage (2x2) |

4. Resources:

   • Starting: 100 resources.
   • Income: +20 resources per turn (from base).
   • Spending: Units cost resources to build.

5. Turn Structure:

   

   • Phase 1: Build

     Build units adjacent to your base (if resources allow).

   • Phase 2: Move

     Move units within movement range (pathfinding around obstacles).

   • Phase 3: Attack

     Units attack enemies within range (damage = attacker’s Attack stat).

   • Phase 4: AI Turn

     AI builds, moves, and attacks using simple pathfinding (A* algorithm).

     

Game Rules

1. Movement:

   • Units move horizontally/vertically (no diagonal).
   • Forests reduce movement by 1 (e.g., Tank moves 3 → 2 in Forest).
   • Units cannot stack or occupy the same cell.

2. Combat:

   • Damage is dealt instantly.
   • Destroyed units are removed from the grid.
   • Artillery deals damage in a 2x2 area.

3. Victory Conditions:

   • Win: Destroy enemy base.
   • Lose: Your base is destroyed or you surrender.

4. Terrain Effects:

   

   • Forests: Hide units (only visible to adjacent enemies).
   • Mountains: Block movement and line of sight.

AI Opponent Logic

• Build Priority: Tanks > Soldiers > Artillery (prioritizes strength).
• Movement: Pathfinding to player base (A* algorithm).
• Attack: Targets nearest enemy in range (prioritizes high-value units).

UI Elements

1. Grid Display:

   • Symbols: P (Player), E (Enemy), F (Forest), M (Mountain), (Empty).
   • Health bars for units/bases.

2. Player Actions:

   • Build: Select unit type and adjacent empty cell.
   • Move: Click unit, then destination cell.
   • Attack: Click unit, then target enemy.

3. Resource Panel:

   Current resources, turn counter, unit count.

Example Turn

1. Player Turn:

   • Build: Spend 30 resources to build a Tank at (0,1).
   • Move: Move Soldier from (0,0) to (1,0).
   • Attack: Soldier attacks Enemy Tank at (2,0) → Enemy Tank HP: 185.

2. AI Turn:

   • Build: AI builds a Soldier at (9,8).
   • Move: AI Tank moves from (9,9) to (7,9).
   • Attack: AI Soldier attacks Player Soldier → Player Soldier HP: 85.

Advanced Features

• Upgrades: Spend resources to boost unit stats.
• Weather: Rain reduces movement by 1, fog limits visibility.
• Events: Random events (e.g., "Reinforcements arrive!").
