Overview:

Archidamian War is a small turn-based strategy game based on the Peleponnesian Wars. This was the first completed game I made by myself. It was made as part of my first Graded Unit at Edinburgh College.

​

What did I do?

• I created the game concept using inspiration from other strategy games in conjunction with the research I had done on the history for the project

• I had to create art for unit cards and maps

• I designed 2 asymmetric factions that were both playable as seperate campaigns

• I created unique unit rosters for both factions basing the unit types and stats on historical accuracy

• I created maps based on the geographies of each region

• I coded a "Dice-roll" based combat system that makes use of modifiers like flanking and formations

• I coded a system to create tile-based maps procedurally

• I researched and implemented A* algorithms for unit navigation

• Adjusted my scope accordingly to time constraints
