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.

Influence Patrimonium Imperii is a game where you can’t earn any money, but you compete with your opponents by achieving as high a reputation and influence as possible. This is a measurement of how important you’re regarded and will be the determining factor when the Imperial Council settles for a new ruler of the empire. During game play you will gather influence – but you will also have to use your influence to make things happen – and to be able to gather even more influence. Influence is measured in IP:s – influence points.
