# Conqueror

  This document provides a detailed description of the game elements and gameplay. It does not

  contain any implementation or coding details.

# Intro

  In this semester, we will implement a single player turn-based empire building game. A player

  initially chooses one historical city to start his empire with. The goal is to conquer the whole

  world by taking control over every other city under a certain amount of turns. In order to

  achieve this goal, the player have the option of building various types of building in any city he

  has control over and also build armies in order to conquer other cities.

# Winning/Loosing

  The player will win if he managed to conquer all cities available in the game under the determined amounts of turns. If these turns passed and the player did not     achieve this goal, this is

  considered a loss.

# Conquering a city

Each city has an army that defends it from conquerors. The player needs to build a powerful

army and defeat the defending army in order to take control over the city. Once the attacking

army reaches the city, it can either lay siege on the target city trying to starve them out or

directly attack the defending army. If the player chooses to besiege the city, the defending

army will gradually lose soldiers each turn the city is under siege. However, the player can

only besiege a city for a max of three turns. During these three turns, the player can choose

to break the siege and leave the city or directly fight the defending army. If these three turns

passed, the player has to fight the defending army in a decisive battle. When the player engages

the defending army in a battle, he can choose to either automatically resolves the battle or

he manually commands his units during it. In auto resolve mode, a random unit from the

attacking army will attack another random unit from the defending army then, same action

happens but this time the defending army will be the attacker and so on till one of the two

armies is completely destroyed. In all cases, only the attacked unit receives damage and have

some of its soldiers lost during the attack. The attacking unit does not receive any damage

in the process. In the manual mode, the battle starts by the player choosing one of his units

to attack another unit in the defending army followed by a random unit from the defending

army attack another random unit from the player’s army and so on till one of the two armies is

destroyed. Once the city’s defending army is defeated, the player takes control over it and can

build any building or recruit any unit inside it.

#Available resources

Throughout his journey of conquering the world, the player has two major resources that he

can spend in order to achieve his goal namely gold and food.

### 1. Gold is the main resource needed to build or upgrade any building and also to recruit

units. Gold will also be used to maintain and upkeep any army the player controls. The

player has to pay a certain amount of gold each turn for this purpose. If the player does

not have enough gold to maintain/upkeep his army, soldiers in his armies will gradually

lose faith and leave the army each turn until the player has enough gold to maintain his

army again.

### 2. Food, on the other hand, is used to keep the soldiers in the player’s army alive. All

soldiers consume a certain amount of food each turn. They consume more while marching

to a city and will consume the most while besieging the city. If the player does not have

sufficient amount of food for all of his soldiers, they will gradually die each turn until he

has enough food again to feed his army.

# Buildings

The player can build multiple types of buildings to help him achieving his goal of conquering

the world. There are two types of buildings, economic and military. Economic buildings help

the player build his economy as well as provide enough food supplies for his army. Military

buildings are the ones that the player will use to build his armies by recruiting different types of

units. Buildings can be upgraded to enhance their effects. The higher the level of the building,

the better its outcome. Each turn, the player can only do one action per building. Either

building it, upgrading it or recruit units from it (for military buildings). Military buildings also

have a max number of units that can be recruited from them per turn.

## 0.1 Economic Buildings

1. Markets: these buildings are the source of gold for the player. The more markets he

controls, the more profit he gains hence, the bigger his treasury is. The gained profit can

be used in constructing other buildings, upgrading them and recruit units.

2. Farms: They provide the food supplies of the army. The bigger the army, the bigger the

supply it will need. The player will need to balance the size of his army and the supplies

he can provide to his army

## 0.2 Military Buildings and units

1. Archery Range: This building will enable the player to recruit archers. Archers can attack

from range using their bows. They have great advantage over foot units but greatly

2

vulnerable to mounted units.

2. Barracks: This building will enable the player to recruit infantry. Infantry units are

foot units that can engage in hand to hand combat. They have good advantage against

mounted units but vulnerable against archers

3. Stable: This building will enable the player to recruit cavalry units. Cavalry units are

horse riders that can charge fast towards their enemies dealing great damage. They are

supreme against archers, good against infantry units and mediocre against other cavalry

units.
