Buying this package also gets you the Large Scale Formation System and the Mesh Animation Baker at no extra cost.
What you get
The player commands Formations rather than single soldiers. Under that sit four things you would otherwise have to build yourself: player controls with drag-to-position and drag-to-widen, a modular tactical AI, a combat model with counters and morale, and a set of job-based managers that keep the frame rate stable when the unit count climbs.
Everything is configured through ScriptableObjects. Units, damage tables, weapons, AI personalities and combat rules are all assets you edit in the Inspector, so you can build a full army roster without opening a script.
Combat
- Unit types: melee infantry, foot archers, musketeers, cavalry, horse archers and elephants, each with its own combat behaviour asset.
- Cavalry charges: knockback with configurable force, duration, damage multiplier and impact mode (single target or area), plus a timed charge damage bonus on contact.
- Flanking and elevation: attacks from the side or rear bypass shields and defence skill. High ground and low ground apply their own modifiers.
- Two damage models: a standard HP system, or a Rome 1 style two-roll system where most blows are parried and morale decides the battle. Switching between them is one drag-and-drop field, with no changes to your unit data.
- Morale and generals: generals radiate morale effects to nearby formations. Losses, flanking, arrow fire and the death of a general all feed into morale, and a formation that breaks routs to the nearest map exit.
- Orders during combat: pull formations out of a fight to retreat, reposition or feint.
- Attack anything: gates, barricades and your own destructible objectives are valid targets alongside enemy units.
- Unit Variations: Melee, Archers, Musketeers, Elephants, Horse Archers, Cavalry are all premade in the demo
- Damage Modifiers: Setup how Damage works in detail against other units (eg Archers do 2x Damage against Elephants, 1.5x Damage against Cavalry, 0.8x Damage against Melee)
Siege warfare
- Destructible gates that carve the NavMesh while standing and reopen the path when destroyed.
- Walkable walls with snap-to-wall placement, so archers can man the battlements and stairs connect the levels correctly.
- Capture zones with capture timers, priorities, choke points and a tug-of-war score.
- Siege AI that picks which gate to break, mans threatened walls first, and pushes for capture points once a breach opens.
- Threat sensors that raise the priority of a wall segment as enemies approach it, so defenders shift to answer the real attack instead of holding an empty section.
Tactical AI
The Commander AI is assembled from Strategies and Tactics, both ScriptableObjects. Each tactic scores itself against the current battlefield and the highest scorers get the troops.
Included tactics cover forming and charging a battle line, holding a reserve that answers flank attacks, cavalry flanking runs, horse archer kiting, archer target selection, and the full siege set for attacker and defender. Writing your own means inheriting one class and implementing two methods.
An optional BattleGrid influence map lets the AI read danger and opportunity across the field, so cavalry gives spear formations a wide berth while riding straight through arrow fire to reach the archers behind them. It is currently used in field battles (Battlegrid for Sieges is in work).
AI can also play against AI, in field battles and sieges alike, which makes autobattles and balance testing straightforward.
