Rules

Wargeit has simple yet compelling rules.
You are entrusted with the role of the ruler of one of the countries.
Your goal is to conquer other countries by capturing their territory. In order to reach this goal you will need to resolve issues in economy, science, warfare and hiring generals.
In the beginning of the game all countries have approximately equal territory. This area has to be preserved and increased since this leads to achieving the goal. Also, all countries have equal population. In the game process your population can grow, depending on two scientific indexes,
Demographic and Urban. Each country at the start possesses a certain amount of money.

Military actions

Military action is the only way to victory. In order to go to battle you need soldiers and generals. Soldiers will only attack when led by a general. To participate in naval battles you need ships and admirals.
Capturing the whole territory of a country means its destruction and it is removed from the map and the game.
In order to attack a country, you need to recruit soldiers, highlight a country, give a general the order to «Attack» and assign him soldiers. If you are victorious, you will get some part of your enemy’s territory, which is non-linearly proportionate to the number of soldiers surviving the battle as well as the speed of your General.
It could well be that the country that you are attacking has itself gone war on you. In this case, there are going to be two battles, one on the border and the other on the territory of the country, which loses the first fight. If you are initially victorious, you might encounter another army at the second point, with a fresh general, so beware!
However, if there are no defenders, you will just get a part of enemy territory.
You can also defend your country by giving a general the «Defend» order, if you do so, remember to leave some soldiers in border guard.
If you have soldiers, but none of your generals has the «Defend» order, nobody is going to lead soldiers into battle and you lose a part of territory.
All battles go in order determined by the «Speed» of generals. It can well may be that your general who has been ordered to attack will be made idle because another, speedier general, attacking the same country, will “steal” the common border.
Alternatively, speedier generals of your opponents may attack your country and take all your territory before your general makes a move and you will then lose.
You can only attack your immediate neighbors in the game.

Science

There are 8 directions of scientific development in the game, for all of which you need scientists. You can never win the game if you don’t advance your science. Even if you manage to conquer your immediate neighbors, a stronger and more developed enemy will appear sooner or later and bring you to ashes.

• scientific level: the most important scientific direction allowing to increase scientific output. The further this direction is advanced, the faster new discoveries are made in all directions.
• demographic level: scientific direction defining how much people can live on a given territory. There are two ways to increase your population: capture territory from the neighboring countries or develop this direction.
• urbanitation level: scientific direction defining the percentage of population growth. The further this direction is developed, the larger is the percentage by which the population of your country is increased. This, for instance, compensates for casualties on the battlefield.
• agrarian level: scientific direction determining how much grain one citizen can sow. The further this direction is advanced, the more grain can your citizens sow and harvest. Advancing this direction is one of the ways to increase your income.
• fish production level: scientific direction determining how much fish one peasant can catch. The further this direction is advanced, the more fish your citizens can catch. Advancing this direction is one of the ways to increase your income.
• financial level: defines, how much money you will earn by selling one unit of grain or fish. The more this direction is advanced, the more expensive grain and fish is. This is, too, one of the ways to increase your income.
• military level: scientific direction, defining how strong and healthy your soldiers are. The further this direction is developed, the better your soldiers attack and defend. Without developing this direction your soldiers will be too weak to fight.
• navy level: scientific direction, defining how strong your ships are. The further this direction is developed, the better your ships attack and defend.

Generals

Generals are the essence of the game, they are the leaders who take your soldiers to battle and help you conquer the world. Generals possess certain personal qualities, defining the price that is to be paid for them.

• Age: every general and admiral has an age, which is increasing, with every passing turn. Age is in the range between 15 and 100 years. However, your general is sure to live only up to 60 years, after this he can die at any moment, so it is quite risky to send an old general to battle. Your general can die of old age when he is most needed. The higher the age of the general is, the cheaper he costs.
• Skill: the level of the general’s experience determining what kind of orders he can give in battle. This varies from 1 to 100. The initial skill cannot be over 30. The general needs to study and get experience in actual battle to grow further. The higher the skill is, the more expensive the hire costs.
• Speed: this parameter defines the order of generals’ attacks. Two generals take part in any battle: the first to attack is the one who has higher speed. Each turn the speediest general is the first to go to battle, then the second speediest etc. If the skill of the generals is equal, the speedier general has more chances since he is the first to attack. Also, the faster is the general, he will conquer more territory if he won the battle.The higher the speed is, the more you will pay for your general.

Also, a most important characteristic is the general’s morale, which varies from 100 to 0. A freshly hired general has the morale of 100. Going to battle takes stamina and health and therefore decreases the general’s morale. A general who is tired performs much worse that a fresh one. In order for his morale to be restored, give him the order «Rest».
The generals will attack each other’s armies until one of them runs out of soldiers. Alternatively, the battle ends when certain number of turns elapses and then it will be a draw. The first to go is the speedier general.

Economy

The basic economy index is the amount of money you have. You get money by selling grain and fish. Your citizens sow land and catch fish, every turn. For sowing and fishing, you need citizens, so it’s a bad move to turn all into scientists and soldiers. You need to feed soldiers and scientists so that they wouldn’t starve. Naturally, you can only sow the area you already have.

If an enemy attacks you and captures your land, you will lose part of your harvest. So, you need to defend your borders. However, you won’t capture any grain if you conquer somebody else-s territory (the same applies to computer opponents). When battles are held on wheat fields, not much wheat survives…
Money is the way to prosperity. IF you have money, you can train scientists, recruit soldiers, build ship and hire generals.
Scientists serve for developing science. Without this victory is impossible. Training one scientist costs $100. Afterwards, each scientist requires some money as wages.
Soldiers in the game serve for military action, defending your country and capturing opponents’ territory. Soldiers must be commanded by a general. Recruiting one soldier costs $100. Afterwards soldiers, just like scientists, need money as wages.
Ships in the game serve for military action on sea. Ships must be commanded by an admiral. Recruiting one ship costs $1500. Afterwards ships, just like scientists and soldiers, need money, the only difference is that they are more expensive.
Scientists and soldiers come from transforming citizens. 1 ship requires 10 sailors. Increasing the number of scientists, ships and soldiers you are decreasing your peasant population, so you have to be careful in order not to bring you country to a financial crisis.
