# Shotcaller
An RTS / MOBA game with multiple frontends: ASCII-rendered or tiles-rendered. See the [design document](https://www.notion.so/erlendsh/Shotcaller-7374d2b2819c42ccb40f01dc7089d419) for much more.
### Summary
In the way "[MOBA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplayer_online_battle_arena)" games such as DOTA2 or LoL are usually played, the captain of the team is the default *shotcaller*.
> *The shotcaller needs to be unbiased and not have tunnel vision. You need to be able to think in the future and tell what would happen if you did this or that. This becomes crucial when deciding to base-race or teleport back to defend. ~reddit-user*
Everyone on the team can play the part of Shotcaller on occasion. The act of shotcalling is not typically the most prevalent activity of any player, even for a captain — after all, they also need to play their hero.
But in this game, *all you do* is shotcalling and big-picture strategizing. The game plays as if you were controlling the 6th-person-in-the-booth “coach” player, and your team (of AI-played bots) actually follows your instructions to the letter, within their designed constraints.
### Latest prototype (25. November 2020)
