Endless Horizons (alpha)

Player versus player turn based strategy game based in outer space.

*** THIS IS AN EARLY ALPHA VERSION! ***

Endless Horizons is a turn based player versus player game.

Objective:

- Destroy your opponent base (Warp Gate) while protecting yours.

The game is divided into rounds. On round start the following happens:

- Resource extractors extract resources.

- Movement points & attacks are replenished.

Within the round players take alternating turns, each spaning one action. An action can be:

- Special Ability

- Building.

- Moving.

- Firing.

- Using a special ability.

Actions take one action point, except for firing and corvette special action.

You have 3 resource types:

- Resources – used to build ships & structures. Acquired by constructing Extractors on Planets or using Warp Gate special ability.

- Population – used to support ships, claimed when a ship is built, released when it is destroyed. Acquired by constructing Living Pods.

- Action points – needed to perform actions. Acquired by capturing Artifacts or building Command Hubs.

Building:

- You can only build in your warp zone.

- To expand the warp zone build Warp Linkers or mobile Warp Prism ships that can be deployed into Warp Linkers using their special action.

- Click on a planet or empty tile in your warp zone to build.

Moving:

- Your ship movement is determined by its movement points.

- The area in which you can move is shown as white zone.

- Each move action consumes 1 action point.

Firing:

- Some ships can fire more than once (amount of shots shown as swords near the ship).

- Firing does not consume action points, but it does end your turn.

- You can move and fire in the same turn, that will consume 1 action point and 1 attack.

Special actions:

- Warp Gate (main building) – gives 1 resource. This is conveniently places in lower left corner as your default action.

- Extractor – consumes the planet, giving you extractor cost + half of the remaining planets resources.

- Laser Tower – replenishes one attack.

- Warp Prism – deploys into Warp Linker.

- Corvette – consumes one shot and provides extra movement. Does not consume an action point.

- Rocket Frigate – deploys into stationary form, greatly increasing its attack range and visibility but removing ability to move.

- Deployed Rocket Frigate – packs up into mobile form, reducing its attack range and visibility but adding ability to move. Movement points are restored at the start of new round.
