Gameplay
Round Structure
Each game round consists of three phases:
-
Reinforcement Phase:
- Receive New Units: At the start of each turn, players receive new units based on the number of controlled territories and full regions.
- Card Placement: Occasionally, players receive special cards that affect unit allocation.
-
Attack Phase:
- Attack: Players may attack neighboring enemy territories to conquer them, determined by the number of armies on each side.
- Dice Mechanic: Typically, a dice system is used where the attacker rolls up to three dice and the defender up to two.
- Loss Calculation: Highest dice rolls are compared to calculate losses, with ties resulting in losses for the attacker.
-
Fortification Phase:
- Troop Movement: Players can move armies to adjacent or their own territories to reinforce their position or prepare offensively.
Game Strategy
- Control Whole Continents: This grants additional units per round.
- Alliances: Temporary alliances can be useful to eliminate powerful foes.
- Positioning: Strategic placement of armies and attacks are crucial for success.
End of the Game
The game ends when a player controls all territories on the map or a rule specifies particular victory conditions.
Warzone requires tactical acumen and strategic planning, as each move can lead to victory or defeat.
