Hi! I'd like to show here my turn-based strategy. It combines the priciples of DiceWars and card game. Map is divided into provinces, the garrison of each consists of 1-7 cards. Attack enemies, and conquer the world!



Download CardWars v.0.5.2.22 (1,8 Mb)

Players: 2 - 9.
Multiplayer: hotseat.

System requirements: 256 Mb, 500 MHz, OS Windows, 800x600





Controls
Left click - select a province.
Right click on the adjacent province - attack it or move garrison there
Double click - cards arrangement mode
Right click - clear selection
Button in the top left corner - next turn
Wheel click - hide/show garrisons

Detailed rules and scenarios descriptions

Please, share your opinions on this game  Smiley
Especially I'm interested in:
*Playability and re-playability of the game
*Strongess/weakness of AI
*Interesting/boring scenarios
*etc

I'd like to try it, but the download link is not working for me.

By the looks of it in the video though, the screen feels a bit too cluttered by the cards. Maybe it would be good if they were smaller of simpler in design?

Anyway, the link.  Beg

The site was being moved to another server these days, perhaps, this was the source of download problem.

Now it must be OK. Anyway, You can download it from here, too:

Modification to the CWNRGP2 rules:
I decided to add "The fastest defeat" nomination. So, even if you lost to AI in the tournament, send your replay to me.
Te winner in this nomination will be the player, who made AI to capture Prussia as fast as possible Smiley

In order to test gameplay modifications, which were proposed by the forums members, I prepared a CardWars Flexible Gameplay Edition.

Here you can change options for battle mechanics, dealing cards, enemy cards visibility and controls from game Menu.

Download CardWars Flexible Gameplay Edition
Yoa can download just file CardWarsFGE.exe (1 Mb) and copy it to the previously downloaded CardWars 0.5.2 folder.
Or you can download the complete archive (1,8 Mb)

You can vary such options:
  • Will the garrison retreat having lost 50% of its cards.
  • Will the reinforced/captured/attacked province loose its turn.
  • Will multiple identical cards in the garrisons receive combat bonus.
  • The measure of randomness in dealing cards.
  • Will the cards be dealt before or after the players’ turn.
  • Will the player receive per 1 card for each of the controlled provinces, or only for peaceful ones (those, which didn’t participate in battle for 1 turn).
  • Will the players see all the rivals’ cards, just the top card and their quantity, or just their quantity.
Also, another control mode is enabled: left mouse button used for all the actions, and right button – for sorting cards.

Please, try CardWars Flexible Gameplay Edition and tell me, what were the game options you liked more.

I'm back! I studied Action Script 3 and after 1,5 years I can tell, that the Flash version of my game is almost ready. It has enhanced interface, interactive tutorial and powerups. I hope it will be released soon.
