hm... I'd say make the catapult a bit more powerful/give it a bit more HP, and then drive the cost up a bit
otherwise, it looks pretty balanced.

EDIT: maybe give the catapult a chance to miss the intended block or cause collateral damage?

Yeah actually I'm thinking of raising the damage of catapult to 4, it was 3 before because the highest HP a unit could have was only 3 before I buffed the overall HP. And raise its HP to 5.

Only problem I see if I buff the catapult is that it might result in a catapult war :(
it should be fine if you raise the cost enough

yeah it's mostly about balancing, which is quite hard at this stage.

Very nice usage of the split screen mode. I really like that. It makes it unique as very few projects utilize it, and it works quite well with this type of game. =)

Alright, new update!
Now the unit movement, attacks, damage calculations, they all work, and also ending a turn works!



If you see it to the end, you'll see that the archer changes from archer to infantry when it makes a successful attack. It's already fixed, but I was too lazy to make another screenshot :P

Stuff I need to do now:
-Main menu with the ability to load the game
-Saving the game
-Checking the bases' HP and telling the player if he won or lost
-Most importantly, AI

First 3 should be really easy, I'm just afraid of how I'm going to do AI. It'll be a major PITA for a decent AI (since this is very much like chess or advance war). Hopefully I can make one that's decent without being too slow...

Made my main menu screen, with vertical text sprites :)

Sits at just under 800 bytes, I'm sure I can optimize it even more by changing some of the characters, but eh, nbd :P



Only drawback to this is that any MP OSes would need to run a small asm program (specifically asm program with this hex: FDCB058EC9)
because of the flag that deletes the bottom row in the text routine.

Next up is making AI, and this should be complete :D (but then AI will take a while to make... so hopefully I'll be finished before due date x.x)

After the contest, I'll probably implement 2 player mode, either via link cable with asm program help or 2 player on 1 calc mode :)

Edit: So far, the code takes up 10348 bytes, that's without any AI or implementing win condition. Win condition should be easy, but hopefully AI fits in another 10k bytes x.x

wow, that'll be a big program ö but i like the menu screen :)
and it's great how you use the spilt screen mode, it works out really fine
