The TRON Disc Wars are here!
Each player's disc is a capital city. If you lose your last disc you will lose the war! Each disc can only hold up to 20 units max after the inital round and can be attacked & captured ONLY BY THE RESPECTIVE PLAYER'S INNER RING (Ring 1), which has an attack advantage over the disc. Each disc also awards each player with 7 units, and as such there is not a minimum unit bonus. However, controlling 2 or more discs results in a -3 penalty bonus.
Each disc can attack the other players' rings, but only the attack against the 5th (outer) ring can capture a ring. Any attack from a disc to rings 1-4 are artillery attacks, which means you can't capture those rings from the disc. You can only deplete the armies in those rings to 0. You can also attack your own rings but know that YOU WILL LOSE GUARANTEED every time unless the ring you are attacking has 0 (zero) enemy units in it.
Each ring can attack & capture the ring after it in an inward motion. So in order to attack & capture a player's rings you must go from Ring 5-->Ring 4-->Ring 3-->Ring 2-->Ring 1. Since it is essentially the last resort for a player's survival, Ring 1 has a defensive advantage over Ring 2.
Be cautious on your turn because you are limited to 4 attacks & 3 fortifications per turn. Once you lose one of your rings, your only guaranteed way of gaining it back is if you control another player's disc. Abandoning territories is allowed & will stay player-owned until it's captured by another player. With the exception of Ring 1, each ring has a unit cap of 25 to help avoid unit stacking.
Additional Bonus Information: the rings are designed with a hordes-style bonus, meaning that you have to control a ring & it's 2 surrounding rings in order to gain a bonus. Obviously since Rings 1& 5 are only surrounded by 1 other ring, they are not as valuable as the others. However, if you control any Ring 1 with its corresponding Disc, which could easily be your last remaining territories, you will still gain an additional 3 units.
Note: This game is for 2-4 players only, and teamplay with 4 players can be a lot of fun!
