1\subsection{Superdom}
2
3Superdom is a turn based strategy game, where the aim is to defeat the computer
4player by overpowering them using your army.
5
6When the game starts the player is given roughly 50% of the tiles on the map,
7two farms, and two factories. To overpower the enemy, you must place resources
8in adjacent tiles (diagonals do not count), such that your strength is greater
9than the computers, then attack the square.
10
11Each ``year'' is broken up into three phases: purchasing, movement, and war.
12During the purchasing phase you are allocated money and food, may purchase
13units/buildings, and may access the bank.
14
15During the movement phase you can move your units only to adjacent squares
16(except planes, which may move anywhere), at a cost of 1 move per unit you move.
17(Men are considered to be one unit, no matter how many you move). You can change
18the number of moves you receive by default in the settings, and you may purchase
19additional moves for \$100 each. You may also launch nuclear weapons if you have
20purchased any.
21
22During the war phase you can attack the enemy. This is where the strengths come
23into play. Each tile has its own strength for both the computer, and the human
24player. If you attack a square owned by the computer player where your strength
25is greater than the computer's, you will win the tile - and take control of any
26building that were on it. If the strengths are equal, a victor is chosen at
27random.
28
29The bank (in the purchasing phase) is a place where you can store your money
30and earn interest (usually about 10% p.a.), however, while the money is in the
31bank, it is not accessible until the next purchasing phase.
32
33\subsubsection{Notes on food}
34Each year you are allocated an amount of food based on the number of farms you
35control. Food is used to feed your men, but if you do not have enough food to
36feed your population of men, some will die of starvation.
37
38\subsubsection{Summary of units}
39\begin{table}
40 \begin{rbtabular}{\textwidth}{lccX}%
41 {\textbf{Unit} & \textbf{Cost} & \textbf{Individual strength}%
42 & \textbf{Special abilities}}{}{}
43 Men & \$1 each & 1.33 per 100 & No square population limit, however %
44 require 1 food each per year\\
45 Tanks & \$300 & 3 & None\\
46 Planes & \$600 & 4 & Can move to any human controlled point on the map\\
47 Farms & \$1150 & 3 & Generates additional food at start of year\\
48 Factories & \$1300 & 3 & Generates additional food at start of year\\
49 Nukes & \$2000 & 2 & During the movement phase you may lauch a nuke %
50 to destroy all units on a given tile\\
51 \end{rbtabular}
52\end{table}
53Also note that the colour of the adjacent tiles also count towards your strength.
