Attack Port^{Super Alpha}

🎯 Game Objective

Victory Conditions:

• Standard Victory: Most points after 10 rounds
• Early Victory: Eliminate all enemy units (game ends immediately)
• Draw: Equal points after 10 rounds

⚙️ Getting Started

1. Team Selection

Before battle begins, you must choose exactly 5 unique Porter types from 8 available options. No duplicates allowed! Each Porter has different strengths and tactical roles.

2. Placement Phase

After selecting your team, drag 5 Porters from the palette onto any empty square in column B (blue highlight). Your base is located at A7 — protect it!

3. Battle Begins

Once both teams are placed, the 10-round battle begins. You'll have 50 seconds per turn to plan your moves.

🎮 How to Play

Turn Structure

Attack Port uses simultaneous turns - both you and the AI plan your moves, then everything happens at once. This creates exciting tactical situations where predicting enemy movement is key!

Actions Per Turn

Each unit can perform one action per turn:

• Move: Relocate to a new position within movement range
• Attack: Fire at enemy units or predicted positions
• Hold: Stay in place (automatic if no orders given)

Movement Rules

• Movement uses Chebyshev distance (diagonal movement counts as 1 square)
• You cannot move into your own base, but you can attack it
• If two units end their movement on the same square, both die (collision)
• Units can pass through occupied squares during movement

Combat System

The new ammo system allows multiple shots per turn:

• Each Porter has a specific ammo count that resets every turn
• You can queue multiple attacks up to your ammo limit
• No two units can target the same square per turn
• Attacks hit instantly if an enemy is in the targeted square
• You can attack empty squares to predict enemy movement

🏆 Scoring System

How to Earn Points

• Base Capture (3 points): Have one of your units standing on the enemy base (M7) at the end of any turn
• Unit Elimination (1 point each): Kill enemy units through attacks or force collisions
• Collision Kills: If an enemy unit dies in a collision with your unit, you get the point

Winning the Game

After exactly 10 rounds, whoever has the most points wins! Base capture doesn't end the game immediately - it just awards points and continues the battle.

💡 Pro Tips

Team Composition

• Balanced Teams: Mix long-range units (Archer, Cannon) with mobile units (Blitz, Scout)
• Specialized Roles: Use Guardians to protect your base, Hunters for precision strikes
• High-Ammo Units: Archer and Cannon can lay down suppressive fire with multiple shots

Tactical Strategies

• Predict Movement: Attack where you think enemies will move, not where they are
• Zone Control: Use multiple shots to cover several escape routes
• Base Defense: Keep at least one unit near your base to prevent easy captures
• Coordinated Attacks: Use multiple units to attack the same general area

Visual Cues

• Blue Overlays: Show where you can move
• Red Overlays: Show where you can attack
• Ghost Units: Preview of planned moves (blue outline)
• Numbered Red Squares: Multiple attack targets from the same unit
• Orange Dashed Borders: Units without orders (starts flashing at 25 seconds)
