Turn Based Strategy

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/28215682

Hello World,

Lines of Battle is an evolving, simultaneous turn-based war game that simulates the Napoleonic, line-based clashes of yesteryear. It has excellent depth and the settings allow for quick or long games that fit the player's schedule. Ranked matchmaking is supported alongside custom matches and bot play to help get over the small learning curve. In addition, a map maker is featured, there is a quality community alongside clans (coalitions,) and the entirety of the game is free to play. An android client is also in beta for those that would rather tap and drag.

I've really fallen for this little game, it scratches an itch of mine I'd long forgotten about and is also very approachable while allowing for a ton of variability. Anyone that has sat down at a tabletop war game will appreciate all of the possibilities while also being impressed at just how very streamlined the gameplay is. It definitely isn't for everyone, but if you found these factors at all appealing, I hope you'll give it a go.

Have a great week Lemmy!

I:m sooo excited to get home and play! It's currently 25% off on Steam (30 USD).

P.S. if the game does not offer multiplayer, can a kind modder please add that? Human VS Aliens, Human VS Human, Aliens VS Aliens. Thanks!

While Adv. Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp has an extensive campaign mode (consisting of remasters of Adv. Wars 1 and Adv. Wars 2), I'm nearly done the campaign and am looking for fellow players in a friendly PvP match!

Otherwise, feel free to talk about campaign, strategy, tiers, etc. etc. Its an old game (the remake perfectly replicates the damage formulas and powers), so tier lists and strategies are quite mature overall. But feel free to ping me if you got questions. I'm not an expert but I do like this game a lot!

And since I'm almost done with the campaign, I guess I can give tips if anyone else got stuck in a chapter or two.

The great open source classic. Did you play it? How many different systems have you installed it on over the years?
