Takeover

Takeover is a 2D medieval fantasy strategy game about leading your clan to victory using the mouse. The cursor can navigate across the screen to reach the gameplay UI and the Left Mouse Button is pressed to select the different icons. When it comes to moving units, you need to click and hold on to their icon and then drag to where you want them to go. The goal of each level is to defeat the opposing forces and claim their territories with higher scores being rewarded for how quickly and efficiently you do so.

When the campaign begins, you'll be shown a picture of a world map. The available missions will be indicated by your clan's castle. Click on them to begin the mission and you'll be shown an area of land. Your clan will be set up in a designated area with your castle acting as your base. There will be empty spaces nearby where you can build Farms (increase squad numbers), Mines (increase gold production), and Obelisks (increase mana production). You'll need increased squad numbers so that your castle can train warriors to attack and defend, while gold is used for various costs, and mana is used for magical abilities like healing your units. The castle can be upgraded to improve the quality of your warriors. Periodically, enemy squads will advance and attempt to destroy your castle and if that happens, it's game over.

To complete the level, you need to defeat the opposing forces and take over their lands. To do this, you need to train warrior squads and then direct them to the enemy. When your warriors encounter an enemy target, they will attack them automatically until either they or the enemy is defeated. Enemy structures also need to be attacked until they are destroyed. When this happens, your warrior squads can move in to rebuild and recover. Once it's rebuilt under your banner, you'll gain additional resources as well as access to the surrounding lands. For additional treasure, you can attack ogres to gain access to their treasure chests.

As you complete missions, you'll earn Edicts. These are passive bonuses that you can enact to give your clan some kind of benefit. This could be improving the strength of your warriors to increasing your overall gold production.
