Estrategos (Prototype 1)

This is Estrategos, a small strategy game that I made for the Text Jam, so it runs entirely on your terminal with up to 6 local players! This was based on an idea that I've had for a while but never knew where to start, so stripping it of all the graphics and focusing on getting a prototype up and running was very helpful.

!!REQUIRES PYTHON AND PYTHON-BLESSED!!

!!WAS ONLY DEVELOPED AND TESTED UNDER LINUX!!

!!SHOULD WORK UNDER WINDOWS/MACOS BUT UNTESTED!!

The goal is simple, to be the last player in game. How long it takes on the other hand.... let's say that you might want to grab something to eat before starting the game.

The game starts with every player holding a piece that they can place anywhere on the board, and then right after that they have to move it and that ends their turn.

Each time that a piece is moved the player that moved it gets 1 point and all other players get 1 credit, if the piece that was moved captured some other piece that point and credits will get replaced by the captured piece value.

Each piece has a number of stats that can be checked by hovering over it (except value), and those stat's can be increased or reduced by buying upgrades on the shop!

[Just keep in mind that I did not have a lot of time to play test this so it might not be very balanced, but if you'd like to change the upgrades or even add more custom ones you can edit them on the source, line 250, you will need some basic python knowledge]

On the shop you can also buy a basic piece to increase your army (keep in mind that you still can only move on piece per turn), skip your turn for 1 credit or surrender. You can also buy as many upgrades as you want and can afford, during your turn you will be able to apply all of them sequentially.

When there is only one player left the game should automatically show a game over screen with everyone's score on it.
