Simple on the surface, but complex deep below, It Pays To Be A Winner is a 1v1 turn-based strategy game that pits players brain against brain across a square-tile landscape. It’s kind of like chess, but not at all.
## About This Game
## Strategy At the Core
It Pays To Be A Winner is meant to be a strategy game. When I hear
strategy, that means no bs, just cold hard logic, tactics, and creativity and
that’s what this game offers. To achieve this goal there is virtually no RNG
bs in the game, the only case being the generation of the map(We’ve gotta keep
it a little interesting). This means that combat can be planned, and your
battle plans can be thought of in terms of facts and not praying on rolls.
Every unit will do it’s precise amount of damage, and every unit will take
it’s precise amount of damage. There are no excuses to loss in this game, if
you lose, it means you got outplayed.
## $ave Dat Money
This game doesn’t feature Fetty Wap, but it does feature an in-game economy.
In order to get units, buildings, and upgrades you’ll have manage your in game
economy and buy them. This means you’ll have to be smart in considering what
units or buildings to buy, when to buy them, and sometimes making a hard
choice between two options. Each player starts each game with the same income-
per-turn, but it can be increased with the purchase of Supply Pads. But you
better defend them well, because it’s just as easy for your enemy to destroy
them as for you to build them.
## Build Your Military
There are 6 units in It Pays to Be A Winner , and each serves a unique and
important purpose.
* Infantry your righteous cannon fodder
* Tanks your heavy hitters
* APCs your party buses
* Artillery your building destruction
* Helicopters your glass cannons
* Special Forces your ghostly operatives
## Build Your Defences
There are also 4 buildings in the game, each serving specific roles.
* Pillboxes to rain bullets
* Artillery Platforms to rain shells
* SAM Sites to hunt birds
* Supply Pads to increase your income and heal your units
## Get Iced Out
Each unit and building in the game has it’s own upgrade tree, some leading to
important but boring upgrades, while others lead to game changing
improvements. These don’t come cheap though, so it’s important to consider
whether it’s worth it to develop your units, or put more on the field. Also,
upgrades don’t magically apply to all your things on the field, only new ones
bought from that point onward silly goose.
