Game Rules

Core Game Mechanics

Game Structure

• The game consists of multiple rounds (2 rounds, nbRounds).
• Each team starts with a certain amount of gold (3 gold, startingGold).
• Teams change order at the end of each round.
• The game ends when all rounds are completed.
• The team with the most gold wins.
• Each team has 300 seconds (timeout) to make their move each turn.

Adventurers

• Adventurers have 8 HP (adventurerHp).
• Adventurers deal 2 damage (adventurerDamage).
• The cost of a new adventurer is 3ⁿ where n is the number of adventurers (adventurerBaseCostⁿ).
  • First adventurer costs 1 gold (3⁰).
  • Second adventurer costs 3 gold (3¹).
  • Third adventurer costs 9 gold (3²).
  • And so on...
• New adventurers are only created in two ways:
  • Automatically spawned from spawner tiles at the start of each round.
  • Manually created by spending gold during a turn.
• If there is no space for a new adventurer, the action is ignored.
• If the team doesn't have enough gold for a new adventurer, the action is ignored.

Movement and Combat

• Adventurers can move to adjacent tiles each turn.
• When moving to a friendly adventurer, all gold is transferred to the other adventurer.
• When moving to an entity, you hit it for 2 damage (adventurerDamage).
• If an adventurer hits a wall or spawner, they take 1 damage (blockDamage).
• If an adventurer hits a health point and has enough gold, they restore all HP.
• If an adventurer hits a heal and doesn't have enough gold, they take 1 damage (blockDamage).

Vision

• Entities can't see any entities that are more than 10 tiles away (visionLength).
• Teams can't see entities behind walls.

Corruption

• Corruption is a game mechanic that gradually makes the map filled with fire.
• It starts at turn 30 (corruptionStartAt).
• Every 4 turns (corruptionSpreadSpeed), corruption spreads to adjacent cells.
• Corruption deals 1 damage (corruptionDamage) to entities at the end of turn.
• When corruption starts:
  • All spawners are destroyed and replaced by corruption.
  • Corruption spreads to adjacent cells every few turns.
  • The corruption continues to spread until the end of the game.
  • This forces players to take a portal.

Special Tiles

• Spikes: Deal 1 damage (spikeDamage) when an adventurer steps on them.
• Portals:
  • Have 10 HP (portalHp).
  • Need to be hit until 0 HP to open it.
  • Portals are the only way to escape the map.
  • When an adventurer escapes through a portal:
    • The adventurer is removed from the map.
    • All gold carried by the adventurer is added to the team's total gold.
    • The portal is removed once an adventurer use it.

Collectibles

• Chests:
  • Have 10 HP (chestHp).
  • Drop 12 gold (chestGold) when broken.
• Vases:
  • Have 4 HP (vaseHp).
  • Drop 3 gold (vaseGold) when broken.
• Doors:
  • Have 4 HP (doorHp).
• Gold:
  • Can be picked up when walked on.
  • Dropped when adventurers die.
  • Any gold left on the map at the end of a round is lost.
