The first High Strategy game was Urukon, which was a grand strategy enthusiast's attempt to find a purified core loop of decision-making. And it worked! High Strategy: Oradros builds on that proof-of-concept with a larger world, a more dynamic set of actions, additional mechanics and interactions, and a better UI.
This is not a graphically intensive game, and you don't get to watch animated armies clash in glorious battle. Instead, you get a quick and steady pace of interesting decisions. Here are some example considerations that you'll need to juggle:
- A realm's capital cannot be moved, and any realm that loses its capital is immediately destroyed.
- The kinds of military units available to you are governed by your demographics, as different cultures customarily fight in different styles.
- Most unit types gain experience through use, which unlocks inventions that reinforce their strengths or shore up their weaknesses.
