Monarchs at Playtest April 24th - May 1st. 4X in just one hour

Hi guys!

Monarchs at Play is turn-based 4X strategy with one-hour-matches.

We are doing our first Monarchs at Playtest on Steam (yeah I really like this pun) from April 24th - May 1st. Link is in the comments.

If you like 4x games in a shorter format, THIS IS FOR YOU.

Whats inside the playtest?

  • A tutorial to help you learn the basics
  • Singleplayer mode against bots on procedurally generated maps
  • Challenges: 6 handcrafted scenarios where you can compete for the highest score

Every feedback is welcomed and encouraged so I'd love to have as many playtesters as possible <3

Cheers,
Eric

What camouflage pattern and color does the Chilean Army currently use? My question is that I'm currently designing uniforms for each character in a strategy game, but I can't find any good references.

Good Luck With That: Make the same calls as real operators under pressure.

New scenario every day based on a real event. Transport, infrastructure, finance, public health, emergency services.

Today's is the NYC subway substation fire from December 2024. 3,500 riders stuck in tunnels, rush hour 40 minutes away. Tomorrow's is the CrowdStrike outage.

Previous scenarios include Black Wednesday, the Thames Water drought crisis and the Paris Olympics.

No sign-up, no ads, works on mobile. Would love feedback.

Anyone tried using NotebookLM to learn game mechanics faster?

I’ve been using NotebookLM for studying for a couple months now and it’s been super helpful.

Recently I got into GM/Franchise-style games, but as a non-American, a lot of the rules and mechanics felt pretty obscure to me. So I tried something different learning a Hockey Game: I loaded a bunch of recent tutorial videos, some selected forum threads, and parts of the game docs into a notebook. Honestly, I’ve been pretty impressed with the results.

The AI answers questions surprisingly well, stuff like:

- What are the first steps when taking over a franchise?
- What’s the minimum number of players per position to keep things running?
- Where in the menu can I find specific player stats?

- How do I assign a scout?

Now I’m wondering if this approach works just as well for strategy games in general. I’m thinking about jumping back into Shadow Empire with the new DLC (after a couple of years away), and I might use this method to refresh everything.

Has anyone else tried something like this?
