Greetings from the cockroach, dear All!
Part one.

More happens to you, All!
Some time ago, dear Copper Feet wrote
a letter in which, briefly, after viewing the program
alpha version, spoke about the upcoming strategy game under
called "Mechanic Wars". And we (GreenFort) found it necessary to
supplement and clarify what Vyacheslav said, so that everything
finally understood what was happening...
As Vyacheslav wrote, the game has been in development for more than 2 years and only
thanks to G_SOFT the project is still alive.
Without describing the background (it’s a secret for now), let’s move straight to the game
directly.
So, the game is turn-based, there are 3 opposing
Sides: Humans, Borg and Din.
You can play as Humans or Borg. Each of these races shares
There are 3 more clans. In total there are 6 options for passing the game.
Dins are the “non-aggressive remnants of the local population” of the planet,
on which, in fact, the whole mess is brewed, and you can’t play for them.The Borg are technologically more advanced than Humans, and the technology of the Deans
surpasses both human and Borg combined. Deans don't attack, but
They defend themselves if they are attacked. When creating a game as a basis
the pisish "Heroes of Might and Magic" (1-2) was taken, so if
If you played it, it will be easier for you to understand Mechanical Wars.
And there will be a lot to figure out. The game can be played by two people or alone
against the computer, or in a campaign where you have to complete 15,
very closely interconnected scenario missions.
Also in the game there will be no
less than 6 full-scale original 3D videos.
And now in more detail about the game:
The gameplay consists of 3 parts:
1) Main game
2)Working with the database
3)Combat
Main game
-+--+--+--+---
In it you move FLYERS around the map.
FLYER is a multifunctional mobile flying unit. You have
there can be no more than 10. Flyers are purchased in BASES. Flyers
They can also capture bases, mines, collect resources, etc.
spending action points accordingly...
There are still a lot of buildings and objects on the map, flying in like a flyer
in which you present yourself with various surprises...including
including battle...
If the battle ends successfully, points are awarded, which in the future
increase the flyer's parameters, which add up during battle
with ROBOTS parameters (i.e., the more the flyer participated in battlesthe more damage your robots cause).The flyer also has
special skills, for example: “robot auto repair”, “INDISOL regeneration”, etc.
Flyer can collect artifacts that affect parameters
flyer. During combat operations, the flyer can use EQUIPMENT -
By doing this, he helps his own or harms other people's robots.
ROBOTS are thirty-meter-tall combat mechanisms with which you
during the battle, you actually fight. Due to the peculiarities of the environment
environment on the planet, robots cannot move on their own; they are transported by a flyer.
The flyer can carry hundreds of robots, but there are only 5 compartments for them.
In total, there are about 60 types of robots in the game and each of them has
their own characteristics, parameters and susceptibility to equipment. Robots
are produced in workshops that are on the map and in the databases.
RESOURCES are minerals mined on the planet. Resources
necessary for the production of robots, construction of buildings in bases, etc.
Resources are collected by flyers, they can also capture a mine with any
resource; in this case, raw materials from this mine will be delivered daily
to you automatically.
EQUIPMENT - specialized equipment purchased in databases and
attached to the flyer. The equipment comes in 3 power levels. All
There are 16 types of equipment in the game. An example is “stun gun”, “thermal shock”,...
Working with the database
-+--+--+--+---
BASES - Your command centers. Depending on successful battles andamount of resources, you will develop them. Each base brings
income, and the more bases you have, the correspondingly more income.
INDISOL is one of the 6 minerals mined on the planet.Uni
cal high-energy element, is the equivalent of money.
Indisol, by the way, is one of the incidents of the struggle between Humans, Borgs and Dins.
