Prototyping; honing the In-game Battle Resolution

Step by step the Game Pieces take place on the game table, right now the protoyping focuses on honing the In-game Battle Resolution to the best balance possible.

Patrimonium Imperii primarily provides a Campaign Layer for your tactical battles - using miniatures or PC games - but it also offers the possibility for "in-game" resolution of battles that you and your opponents maybe don't find interesting.

The In-game Battle Resolution will also let you decide outcomes quickly from engagements, if your gaming session wishes to focus on the more strategic challenges of the game.

Note that artwork in the screenshots is still wip - there will be changes in the near future - but the "feel" of the design won't change very much.

Game Design, next step - establishing the right feel...

Right now development has been focused on the - as I'm hoping - final steps to catch the right feel and character for the game. Logotype and themes will be used in all sorts of situations, so it's important to pin the right style, since this will be so important to a lot of other elements. The Game Ui will be closely connected to this style, so there are a lot of variables to keep in mind.
