So, how long do you plan on waiting in your "brother's motorcoach"?
Better have some booze handy.

I can't figure it out, but I want to!

I can't figure it out, but I want to!

You are USSR, a superpower in the planet Earth.
Gain technologies and populace by subduing neighboring superpowers.
So, select a neighboring superpower and fight.

There are two objectives to winning a battle:
- Satisfy the blood god. He doesn't care about sides, only how many soldiers die.
Reach a death count of 300

- Overwhelm the opponent's forces and drive him to defeat. Each of your units (and the opponent's) has its own attack method, rate of fire and speed. Bear in mind, technologically advanced units have the potential for more kills, but need less advanced units as cannon fodder.
Mix units up and create a cocktail that balances your forces and the opponent's. Then add some units to secure victory.
(You'll eventually learn more advanced techniques :waves, false retreats, but that's your main lifeline)

Avoid winning or losing until you reach a death count of 300, then overwhelm the opponent's forces

I must say, this has been very interesting, gameplay wise. Too bad there isn't any save function.

[bigbossSNK]

Hope that clears it up.

This is Pencerkoff.  I look at posts and will fix some things.  You who describe rules I use you post in game?  Expect fixed game with saving soon.

You've really out done yourself this time, Pencerkoff.

[superflat]

I've had another go and it's really compelling actually.  I could imagine this as a sort of anti-Populous / Powermonger where the whole idea is to satisfy a War-God's bloodlust and sense of balance.

In Soviet Russia they drink to your health!

The game is so much better now! You can actually see what pleases the blood god. But what about this spider game? I like the way he moves, is it possible to gain some new levels or something when you finish the game?

This is Pencerkoff.  I make spider game not enough.  It keep breaking and so I make other game.  But to show what I make, I add spider as addition.  I also make lightning and lightning attractors but this didn't make game.  Maybe I fix one day.

Very nice! I like the real world implication and the application of the subject...and the face of the blood god when enough people die.

PENCERKOFF, YOU ARE PEOPLE'S HERO.

This was a cool idea but it gets boring having to attack the same regions over and over again, doing basically the same thing. It would be better if it only took 1-3 battles to take over a region, though it would make the game a lot shorter it would also be a lot better.
And you should make the spider thing into a proper game. The controls are really cool.

How do you actually play? I try clicking everywhere but nothing happens.

[bigbossSNK]

Select a neighboring country to attack.
Move the sliders on the right part of the screen to adjust your combat strategy.
You've probably been challenging Europe. Try the Middle East first.

[moi]

I moved the sliders but nothing seems to happen.

[bigbossSNK]

Move the knife slider to zero. Then move it to 40. If you don't see a difference in the spawn rate of knife wielding soldiers, it's probably a bug.

Something that threw me off at first: you control the red side :D

[team_q]

Yeah me too, I felt like an idiot, RED ARMY of course! I like the balancing act you have to play to win.
