CAESAR HomeBrew

[jab]

Hi, Caesar is a simulation game set in ancient Rome. You have a total of 64 troops to use in nine battles to conquer the cities highlighted on the map.
You have the blue troops the computer the red ones.
At the beginning of each battle the score of the city is displayed (using Roman numerals 3 ,4 or 5) and at the top will be displayed the total number of troops you still have available
For each battle you can set from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 9 troops using the joystick up and down. By pressing fire the battle begins and you will see the progress. The simulation of the battle is carried out by the computer in successive steps in each of which 3 dice are rolled for each team and the scores compared using RISK rules.
After the second step (a flashing sword will indicate the moment) you have the possibility to add troops using the joystick up and down from a total of 15 that you have available only for reinforcements. (the remaining ones are displayed above) then press fire to continue battle.
When the battle is over, an eagle will be displayed and the battle score will be given by the city score + the number of troops left from the battle.
A special bonus (depending on how many troops conquered the city) will be awarded to the first one who conquers 3 territories in the same row or column
At the end of the 9 battles whoever has the highest score will be the winner.
Greetings
Alberto

Nice! Will there be some sounds?

 

A two-player mode and varying difficulties would be nice (more/less initial troops or reinforcements, e.g. 66 vs 62, 16 vs 14)

 

BTW: The column/row bonus seems not to work.

Still doesn't seem to work. How high is the bonus? And when is it applied?

I hope this time I made the right patch.

The bonus is applied to the first player that conquers all 3 territories in the same row or column and consists in extra score depending how many troops conquered the city. For example four troops equal four points extra score.

The bonus is only one for game.
