Played vs GJR and lost.
Heavy slaves are op, nerf dat ting lol. Ignore heavies, overwhelm with cannon lights, acquire victory screen.  In the near future I'm going to take all the data from the games played and make some graphs showing which things win most rounds. I'm curious to see if you're right. Thanks for checking it out!
May not be the 100% best way to balance the game.
Just because a person can move chess pieces doesn't mean they can actually play real chess. Don't make a CCP mistake with balancing your game. Put some real thought into it. Most people are going to go play your game and just play randomly. That won't balance your game. Balancing a strategical game takes good strategy.
It is a strategical game with hard coded entities, variables, inside of a single map of simple design. Just some simple math should put you on the right track. Just grab a pen and paper and it should be easy enough to do.
Another route I could also suggest is that you look into Finite State Machines. I have this book called Programming Game A.I. by example by Mat Buckland, it is pretty good. With this you can create A.I. Players and create set of strategies for them. So that people can play whenever they want. Also with this experience you can always set the A.I. to play itself to create a simulator while you slowly tweak it with each run. Which would also go a long way in balancing a game of this type if you wish to go that far into it. The book is for C++ but it is the concept that is important. I seen a bunch of online tutorials use examples from this book rewritten for other languages.

Don't worry, I've been careful about balance so far. Most of it comes from running the numbers through all scenarios on paper first and then testing them in controlled situations. The data will only affect decisions if it's horribly skewed, and it will have other factors involved too (like the player's win rate, the strat they used, etc). I appreciate the advice, and believe me, I would have implemented AI if I knew how. It would solve so many issues, and I would probably even play it more often than I already do. I'll look into it for if we decide to continue working on this. Which hinges primarily on how it received, otherwise this was just a fun experiment.
Yes! I got the job! In your face CCP! Finally found someone that appreciates my knowledge and talent. :p
Lol I think this game could have potential but if you give it up... I don't mind taking over. Although I would probably redesign it from scratch to work for mobile phones since that is my actual field of expertise. So I would just need the assets.

Although I would probably redesign it from scratch to work for mobile phones since that is my actual field of expertise. So I would just need the assets. Nice, I do mobile app design for a living. The programmer I was working with specializes in web app programming, so we decided to go that route. The original design was more of an analog control system instead of tiles on mobile. A realtime battle where the units move slowly to allow time for decision making. Talent and technological limitations put us where we are now, c''est la vie. I'd like to keep going with it, but like I said, AI would be necessary. The bigger vision for it was to have something similar to Planetary Conquest in that each battle affects a larger map, and having resources you can use to expand on a tech tree to unlock side-grade units. Similar to Risk, in a way. Also multiple Drone Masters on both sides of a single battle on a larger map. Shoot us a mail at [email protected] if you want to discuss this stuff more.
I sent you my resume.
