• Once it is dug up, the pirates will try to escape with the treasure - but you can still delay them
• Survive for as many turns as possible AND
• Have fun (I hope)

KNOWN ISSUES

• Game balance may be completely off, I don't know. I haven't had enough time to test it properly (I barely "completed" the game in time).
• There are sound and music buttons in game, but no actual audio. I didn't have time to implement any.

FUTURE DIRECTION

If I continue to work on this game, which I probably will at some point:

• Game balancing
• More ways to defeat pirates
• Multiple pirate units (E.G. Pirate Bosses, flying steampunk pirates?)
• Visual connection of tiles (E.G. mountains forming together instead of just repeating)
• In-game tutorial
• Only being able to expand from existing ground tiles
• Actual models for pirate units
• Saving/loading games
• Scenarios
• Smarter pirates (or dumber depending of difficulty)
• A way to remove mountains
• Larger maps
• A better title
• Procedural generation
• Optimization
• Music and sound effects

CHANGELOG

v1.0.1

• Fixed units pathing across mountains when they shouldn't
• Fixed infinite ensnaring of treasure-carrying units
