Steam Authentication Added
[ 2020-12-23 22:25:30 CET ] [ Original post ]
This is a small but significant update! We've finished integrating Steam authentication into the game, so new players no longer have to manually create a Spies & Soldiers account, now they can simply choose a display name and start playing. Steam also automatically logs into the game on launch, so there's no more hassle with extra passwords. This update has been part of our current focus on reducing friction and streamlining the experience for new players. We're still working on improving the AI, but the majority of those changes will be in our next update. === BUILD NOTES: VERSION 0.20.20 === - Now uses Steam authentication to handle account creation and automatically log in at launch. - Added address verification step to email notifications. - The 'Main Menu' button now appears after the victory popup, fixing an issue where you could skip selecting your new title. - Removed the 'Guidance' button from the first tutorial, to avoid overwhelming new players. Known Issues: - Display name sometimes vanishes when first creating an account. Reloading the game fixes it. - There are scaling and resolution issues on 4k or high DPI monitors in Windows.

Spies & Soldiers is a low fantasy strategy game with procedural content and simple mechanics, providing a hit of pure strategy gameplay without the overwhelming complexity often associated with the genre.
The game is a two-player, turn-based digital board game, based on simple mechanics from which complex strategies arise. Each match plays out across a uniquely generated world map, so every game is different.
Key features include:
Military strength is represented by Soldiers. They are straightforward and effective, relying on strength of numbers, and are used to take control of the castles that are needed to win. Soldiers combine to form armies, and battles are won by the largest army in a region.
Subterfuge is the domain of Spies. They are more complex than Soldiers, dealing with hidden information, surprise and paranoia. Spies are used to take control of cities, which provide the action points needed to power all activities. They can also turn the tide of battle, assassinate other spies, sabotage castle defenses and more. A spy’s effectiveness is determined by its rank, with the most highly ranked spy in a region having the upper hand. Working from the shadows, spies are hidden and can only be seen by an enemy spy of superior rank.

Game Mechanics and Strategy
There are two primary systems: military strength and subterfuge. To grow an empire and win, players must carefully balance both elements. Because a fresh map is created for each game, players also need to adapt their strategies to each new world.Military strength is represented by Soldiers.
