Basic strategy game using Pygame.

Run locally

1. Use Python 3.10+ (tested with 3.14 using pygame-ce).

2. From the project root:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   python GameLauncher.py
   

3. By default the game opens in a window (640×480). Check Fullscreen on the menu before Start Game!, or set FKAC_FULLSCREEN=1 in the environment (used when the menu does not pass an explicit choice).

4. Escape or Q quits from the launcher or in-game (launcher no longer exits on every key press).

Rules

There are 4 units, King, Warrior, Archer, Wizard, and Scout

Units are created from towns but a friendly unit must be inside or on the town. Only scouts can take over neutral towns.

Kings inside castles give loyalty bonuses. Town loyalty decreases the more you recruit from it, if it gets too low you lose control of it.

To win you may either kill the enemy king or take over all the enemy towns.

Units levl up the more they fight and become stronger, except the King, he is powerful enough.

Units move differently depending on their class, which you will see.

To start, just run GameLauncher.py
