Welcome to PEACE COUNCIL!

This is a game about keeping the balance of the all coutries of the world,

where a country will start a war instantly once he sees a neighbour vulnerable

(A world crueler than our own, isn't it?)

=======================

HOW TO PLAY:

Play cards to influence the POWER of countries.

You first select a card then click on the zone(tile) to cast the card.

=======================

GOAL:

Keep the POWER(general strength) of all country as close as possible, otherwise a country will declare war on the weaker one.

=======================

ABOUT WAR:

Any country finds his POWER more than 2 times of its neighbour, it will declare a war on the neighbour in 3 turns.

Note for the country to cancel the war, his POWER needs to be less than 1.75 times the neighbour.

Any country declares a war, the game is over.

=======================

ABOUT ECONOMY:

Each zone has its own population, military, culture and industry.

The POWER of a country is the sum of all its zones' POWER .

The POWER of a zone = POP * CULTURE + MILITARY * INDUSTRY

=======================

FUND, INFLUENCE are like money that can save to the next turn,

but AGENTS will always be full at the next turn.

=======================

- The capital always doubles the POWER of the zone.

- You can switch different view to see the heat map of population, military etc.

- War can only be declared between countries that are horizonally or vertically connected.
