\subsection{Superdom}
|
|
|
|
Superdom is a turn based strategy game, where the aim is to defeat the computer
|
|
player by overpowering them using your army.
|
|
|
|
When the game starts the player is given roughly 50% of the tiles on the map,
|
|
two farms, and two factories. To overpower the enemy, you must place resources
|
|
in adjacent tiles (diagonals do not count), such that your strength is greater
|
|
than the computers, then attack the square.
|
|
|
|
Each ``year'' is broken up into three phases: purchasing, movement, and war.
|
|
During the purchasing phase you are allocated money and food, may purchase
|
|
units/buildings, and may access the bank.
|
|
|
|
During the movement phase you can move your units only to adjacent squares
|
|
(except planes, which may move anywhere), at a cost of 1 move per unit you move.
|
|
(Men are considered to be one unit, no matter how many you move). You can change
|
|
the number of moves you receive by default in the settings, and you may purchase
|
|
additional moves for \$100 each. You may also launch nuclear weapons if you have
|
|
purchased any.
|
|
|
|
During the war phase you can attack the enemy. This is where the strengths come
|
|
into play. Each tile has its own strength for both the computer, and the human
|
|
player. If you attack a square owned by the computer player where your strength
|
|
is greater than the computer's, you will win the tile -- and take control of any
|
|
building that were on it. If the strengths are equal, a victor is chosen at
|
|
random.
|
|
|
|
The bank (in the purchasing phase) is a place where you can store your money
|
|
and earn interest (usually about 10% p.a.), however, while the money is in the
|
|
bank, it is not accessible until the next purchasing phase.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Notes on food}
|
|
Each year you are allocated an amount of food based on the number of farms you
|
|
control. Food is used to feed your men, but if you do not have enough food to
|
|
feed your population of men, some will die of starvation.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Summary of units}
|
|
\begin{table}
|
|
\begin{rbtabular}{\textwidth}{lccX}%
|
|
{\textbf{Unit} & \textbf{Cost} & \textbf{Individual strength}%
|
|
& \textbf{Special abilities}}{}{}
|
|
Men & \$1 each & 1.33 per 100 & No square population limit, however %
|
|
require 1 food each per year\\
|
|
Tanks & \$300 & 3 & None\\
|
|
Planes & \$600 & 4 & Can move to any human controlled point on the map\\
|
|
Farms & \$1150 & 3 & Generates additional food at start of year\\
|
|
Factories & \$1300 & 3 & Generates additional food at start of year\\
|
|
Nukes & \$2000 & 2 & During the movement phase you may lauch a nuke %
|
|
to destroy all units on a given tile\\
|
|
\end{rbtabular}
|
|
\end{table}
|
|
Also note that the colour of the adjacent tiles also count towards your strength.
