Classic Warlord

Supervised by K.Bogdanov

Abstract

Classic Warlord is a table-trop  turn based strategy war game. It is played on a map of the world which spans from Western Europe to the Middle East. The map is split into provinces and players must use armies and nuclear force to dominate the board and destroy one another. The syle and mechanics of gameplay are similar to that of the incredibly popular board game Risk.

This project will focus on the implementation of a mobile application version of Classic Warlord, designed to allow players to engage in multiplayer gameplay over long distances. It will focus on the core gameplay mechanics to produce a true and comparable experience to the table top variant. The application will be designed and developed based on analysis of the available tools and deployment options, and the study of existing table top strategy mobile application ports. Analysis and evaluation of the deliverable will be based on the responses from the client, users and the completion of requirements.
