Rules
- An open arena with the RTS interface hidden and a spawn palette in its place, listing every unit in the game grouped by its faction.
- Pick a unit, set a count from 1 to 50, pick one of nine free-for-all sides (every side is hostile to every other), then click the ground to stamp that army. Click again to place more, and right-click to stop.
- Spawned armies fight on their own with the full game AI, stats, abilities, and passives. It is the live game simulation, just fed by hand.
- Clear All removes every unit through the normal death path, corpses and all.
- Any player in the session can spawn, there is no win condition, and you leave through the pause menu.
What it is for
Balance testing (do twelve Footmen beat eight Skeletons?), showing off units, stress tests, and just messing around. It is also the smoke-test rig for the free-for-all systems that Poker runs on.
