Blood and Steele

File Information

Description

Blood and Steel works like ths:

You start off with your Port (which is an air base). Your Port is like the commander, you only get 1, and if you lose it you lose the game (only 1 unit can damage the port*). It also is the spawn point for your units.

You get your main force when the reinforcement timer is full, and then it restarts. You can add to the timer charging rate when you capture the objective points (city blocks). Your forces are dropped off in waves of 8, picked randomly according to the units weight (the more powerful the unit the less likely you will receive them).

There are also supply centers (refineries) that you can capture, that don't really do much right now, but help spawn air forces faster.

The Maine Forces:

There are 4 classes of units: Infantry, Land Vehicles, Defensive Structures, and Aircraft.

There are 5 types in each class, was originally 4 based of each unit type was to specialize countering another class (such as anti air, anti vehicle, etc..), but a 5th reconnaissance type was added to all classes.

Most of the units have special abilities as well that you can activate with their button (haven't got a hot fix key for it yet would be great though). These abilities generally change the role or increase some of its characteristics (such as firepower or range or LOS), but at a cost.
