## About This Game
Set in the Telepath universe, Together in Battle is a strategy RPG and team
management game of love, friendship, and turn-based tactical combat!
## Premise
You’ve arrived in the island kingdom of Dese with a sack of coins and a secret
mission to enter the gladiatorial games to find loyal fighters under the guise
of competing. Hunted by an imperial praetor, you must maintain a low profile
even as you find yourself drawn into intrigues that will decide the fate of
Dese itself.
Recruit and manage charming characters with their own personalities, hobbies,
and life stories. Each day, they’ll fight in turn-based tactical battles; each
night, they’ll build friendships, fall in love, face personal crises, and come
to you for advice.
You must manage your group’s resources. Stay stocked on food, maintain enough
money to make payroll, and ensure that your characters practice regularly to
continue improving. But beware: they have feelings! Allow their friends to
fall in battle, and they may become depressed. Fail to address their needs,
and you’ll risk resentment and desertion. Keep them happy, however, and they
will grow close to one another, form fond memories, give each other nicknames-
even share their special combat skills! With skill and patience, you will
emerge victorious…together in battle.
## Deep procedurally generated characters
Every character has a distinct personality, portrait, stat line, skill
progression, personal history, religious beliefs, life skills, hobbies,
physical traits, romantic preferences, preferred gifts, hidden secrets, non-
verbal tics and ways of laughing. The game even generates their family members
and how well they get along with them. You’ll never get the same character
twice!
These details are not just for flavor: they have consequences for how
characters behave in their free time. A baker may use up some of your food to
produce cookies and cakes you can eat or sell; a jokester may do funny
impressions to boost morale; a blacksmith may repair the group’s weapons.
Dancers are nimble; sailors are superior swimmers. Some characters are prone
to depression; some, to self-doubt. Some characters will even undertake long-
term projects like growing food, making dolls, or writing a novel. Everyone is
different!
## An evolution of the lauded Telepath Tactics combat engine
With a simple deterministic core that never wastes your time, combat in
Together in Battle nonetheless features dizzying tactical depth. Shove enemies
into environmental hazards, off of cliffs, or into each other; take up
defensive positions in tall grass, or hack it all down to deny that same
advantage to the enemy; set traps and detonate explosives; build bridges and
barricades; freeze water; burn down trees. The battlefield environment is
yours to command!
## Tons of content!
Together in Battle features dozens of random events and side quests; six
different playable species; two dozen base classes with branching promotion
options for a total of 72 distinct character classes; more than 150 different
character skills; and hundreds of thousands of possible procedurally generated
weapons and pieces of armor.
## A campaign creation suite
Together in Battle comes with a very capable campaign creation suite to let
you build your own full-fledged SRPG campaigns! Build characters in the
character creator; place them in cut scenes using the cut scene editor; add
branching dialogue trees using the dialogue editor; sculpt battlefields and
place armies in the map editor; create skills for your characters to learn in
the skill editor, and items for them to loot in the item editor. Script custom
effects; mod custom character classes; this game has it all!
