Pick A Tile

Pick A Tile is a turn-based city building strategy game heavily inspired by Polytopia and Civilization.

The game currently includes a tech tree of 20 different research items, each providing different abilities or functionality, and 7 different unit types.

I am a 1-person team, so please be aware that updates may take a little time, but I am always working on things in the background.

You start each game with 1 settler per player, from here you must Pick a Tile on which to start your empire. The victor is the last remaining player with owned units/tiles on the map.

Single player can currently be completed end-to-end and is my main development focus at this time, so I cannot guarantee any game saves will work between updates due to huge internal changes that can occur as I expand the codebase to provide more functionality. 

The AI also currently leaves a lot to be desired, but this is steadily improving alongside the rest of the game.

You can join the Discord group via the button in-game and I'm open the suggestions for future updates/changes.

There is supported online gameplay, though this does require creation/login through an external account system allowing for adding other players as "friends", hosting private games, leaderboards and global rankings.
