    I had several comments and feedbacks saying that Tinyvilization lacks comprehensive gameplay. It’s not hard but my in game instructions are pretty minimalistic : I’m sorry, it’s my bad. To make it up, here is a “how to play” instructions to help you enjoy the deep gameplay proposed by this game !
    Have fun !

    Tinyvilization is a game where you plan a strategy to conquer a new tiny world. Unfortunatly you are not alone and an other settler will try to build cities over the world. The concept is inspired by the facebook game “Survivium” : you make an instruction list which is executed by your “unit” (a virus in Survivium, a settler in this game), and you watch how efficient (or not) your strategy is against another strategy in miror. Then ajust your strategy or find harder opponents !

    I first wanted this game to be connected to a server so that player can send his strategies and fight against other players strategies and have a leaderboard. Finally I just had time to implement an Import/Export system which allow player to share a “strategy code”. Some strategy codes are exposed in my guide to build effective strategies  to help player learn to play with great strategies.

    I planned a bit to much, but I could land on my feet and have what I wanted in time : overall, I have a fully playable game which allow asynchron players interactions that is graphically descent and really enjoyable once you know how to build a strategy.

    I used flexSDK and FlashDevelop only. The game is developed in pure as3. I wanted to use no library at all, I finally saved some time using minimalComps for NumericalStepper and TextField.

    Oh by the way, I did a timelapse !

    Hey guys, as Tinyvilization is a little tricky to get in, here is a short guide to learn how to build strategies by exemple. I don’t say things explicitely, but I give you exemples that you can compare to each other to understand how it works. Try to beat those exemple to begin, they are much easier than the built in levels.
