LordsAWar!

LordsAWar!

LordsAWar! is a 2D turn-based strategy game in a fantasy setting where up to 8 players strive for control of as many cities as possible.

The goal of this project is to make a game that is similar to Warlords II.

Produce new armies in cities to conquer nearby cities. Using the income from those cities, make more armies to take more cities. Send a hero to a temple to get a quest, or maybe search a nearby ruin instead. You can also send a hero to a temple to get a quest or maybe search a nearby ruin instead.

This game should run well on even modest hardware.
