Decisions & Strategies - Avihay-Games-Ltd/Super-Tactico GitHub Wiki

There are several kinds of decisions that a player of Super Tactico:

Set Decision

At the beginning of the game, every player gets a random set of tools on his side of the board.
(The two rows in the middle stays neutral with no tools until the game starts)
After that, the player has the option to replace the set he got with another random set.
There are 10 opportunities to re-set your tools on the board (you don't have to use them all).
When a player decides to stay with s specific set he got and start the game with, he click on a button we the text "Ready"
and he wait for the other play to do the same.

During the game the decision's system is very simple:

Tool picking
Every turn the player needs to decide which tool he want to move.
The decision depends on: what is the situation in the game, which tool's movement will maximize the profit for the player,
which move gets me closer to victory etc.

Tile picking
After you choose a tool to move and click on his tile,
the tiles that available to walk for this tool will be rendered with glass color.
Then, when the player click on one of those tiles, the tool will move to this tile and the turn passes to the opponent

There is no one way to win in Super Tactico.
A player wins if:

• He brings the opponent's flag to his base island.
  
• All the opponent's tools have been destroyed.
• The opponent surrender.

Because of the multiple winning ways, there are a lot of winning strategies.
There are two of them:

• Flag Ignoring-
  One way to look at Super Tactico is to see it as a racing game:
  The goal is to bring the opponent's flag to the base island as fast as possible.
  In this point of view on the game, the attention to the opponent's moves is little.
  The strategy is to focus all your forces to reach the opponent's flag and by that,
  you don't give him time to think about strategy and you drag him into panicked protection.
  The disadvantage of this strategy is if the opponent can block your attack if he stays focus,
  and after that your flag is exposed and unprotected from the opponents tools.
  

• Ships Destruction-
  The only way you can bring the opponent's flag to your base island,
  is if you have ships to carry a soldier with the flag.
  If you focus on the destruction of the opponent's ships, and destroys all of them,
  you already prevent from him to reach the main goal of winning and if he wants to win he needs to kill all your tools or make you surrender.
