Great talk! Thanks for sharing your process. Always inspiring to see other folks map generation techniques. Will definitely be looking into CA approaches in the future!

This is so well written and inspiring! Such a clear expression of what we had and how ‘improving’ things has lead us to a cold, sterile, place. Thanks for the share!

Hey, thanks for putting together this great resource! We're working on a turn-based strategy game called Spies & Soldiers, love to be included if you're looking for more indie devs in the genre.

This adds variety to maps and balances against rush strategies. It also provides an alternative, if fragile, path to victory points via spy actions. Captain boons make for interesting decisions - is this Captain worth an alliance? Or better to simply seize the castle so you can ensure its defences?

Spies now have an Influence action, which can be used to forge an alliance with a Neutral Faction. This provides a victory point from the castle, and control of the Captain! Watch out though, as your opponent can use their spies to break the alliance, in which case you lose all the benefits.
