Grid Game

Animation to look similar to vector tower defense. Play is between Space Game, Globulation and Shattered Colony.

Units

• Worker: Gathers resources, builds and upgrades buildings
• Ranged: Attacks from watchtowers
• Defender: Goes into battle to try and attract attention of enemies. Does not attack. There is a universal retreat level at which defenders will run away.

Buildings

All buildings have a health rating, each level is a relative increase with level 4 doubling the original health.

• Watchtowers: Provide sight in FOW and ranged units can attack from watchtower
  1. can see 3 blocks
  2. can see 5 blocks
  3. can see 7 blocks
• Barracks: Trains/upgrades ranged and defense units
  1. Provides 60 units of training / minute and can train to level 2
  2. Provides 80 units of training / minute and can train to level 3
  3. Provides 100 units of training / minute and can train to level 4
• Factory: Builds workers, ranged and defenders
  1. 20s / unit
  2. 18s / unit
  3. 16s / unit
• Repair: Repairs all units
• Depot: holds resources and triggers workers to gather nearby resources

Unit Levels

Speed

All units (at the same level) move at the same level. Level 4 is twice as fast as level 1

Health

Each level is the same relative level to base and level 4 is double the base health

Network

Communication is done as a network. So a building can only request units from it's neighbors. Every line of communication has an "upstream" and a "downstream". A message has a priority and orientation (up or down). If a building can meet the request, it does so, otherwise, it passes it in the correct direction. THIS CAN STILL PRODUCE LOOPS.

A depot either has resources to collect or does not.
