Isometric Tactics Prototype (Three Kingdoms)

What is this?

A small, isometric, grid-based tactics prototype built in Unity.
It is playable, but still an early demo. The goal is to explore turn-based movement, planning, and execution.

How to Play

• From the start menu, choose a map to begin.

• Mouse Left Click:

  • Select a unit.

  • Click a highlighted tile to set a movement destination.

• Planning Phase:  Display player units onto the board (greentiles) to enter the actual planning phase. Click one of the units, select attack, defend, or move. As they are all melee-range units, with at most 3 action points (move 3 tiles away, or move 2 and attack the enemy), if the enemy unit is within melee range, click right on the enemy unit. Otherwise, click on one of the white tiles, which are attack-avaiable tiles, then click on the enemy unit. Move and Defend are much more straightforward.  Once you feel Okay to move on, click NextPhase button.

• Execute Phase: Confirm the plan, watch your units move, then the enemy takes its turn.

• Goal: Defeat all enemy units on the map.

Current Features

• Tilemap movement system with plan → execute → enemy turns.

• Simple UI and readable pixel art.

• Small test maps to demonstrate basic combat flow.

Roadmap (Ideas & Future Directions)

• Additional maps and a more polished UI.

• Unit variety: infantry, archers, cavalry.

• Expanded combat system: abilities, range/line of sight, terrain effects.

• Improved AI and smarter enemy behavior.

Known Issues

• The game can only be fully exited from the Start Menu.

• After a battle ends, when returning to the RPG scene, the HUD updates correctly, but other scene elements may appear reset.

• As this is an early prototype, bugs and rough edges are expected.
