Buildings Attribute List - UQdeco2800/2022-studio-3 GitHub Wiki
Overview
The buildings within this RTS game play a few key roles:
- The main Atlantis City Centre is the Atlanteans home base. This building gives the player direction as to what they should protect in the game, as it is the baseline to winning the game. The player must gather resources to cast a spell to save Atlantis i.e., its civilians who live in the city centre.
- The barracks and defensive walls are bulidings that act as protection against the rising sea levels and the enemy units that are trying to attack the Atlantean city. These buildings act as shields to protect the Atlantean civilians and the friendly unit who gather the resources needed to cast the spell. This is achieved with troops that spawn from the barracks and the walls acting as a method of fortification.
- The mining camps and farms are buildings that allow the player to gather resources by farming and mining, because the resources cannot be obtained any other way except through the city centre upgrades. These buildings are also esstential to ensuring there are resources available to cast the spell that saves the city.
