Getting Started

Peon Tactics is a PvP-focused, turn-based tactical RPG played on a 3D hex grid. Two sides field a team of peons and fight until one side is eliminated or the shrinking battlefield forces a conclusion. This page is a quick orientation; the rest of the wiki is the detail.

A Battle at a Glance

• Hex grid. Movement, range, and line of sight are all measured in hexes. Facing matters — many effects care about which arc (front or rear) an attack comes from.
• Turns and rounds. Units act on their turn, spending movement points (MP) to reposition and action points (AP) to use skills. A round is one cycle through both sides.
• Fog of war. You only see what your units can see. Vision range, and skills that grant or deny it, are a core part of positioning.
• The map shrinks. Past a certain round the battlefield contracts and hazard tiles deal damage, forcing the fight toward a resolution. See Game Rules.

Building a Unit

Each peon is the sum of four choices:

• Its class — the stat block, skills, and signature mechanic.
• A weapon — base damage, damage type, range, and a unique effect.
• An armor — resistances, movement, and zone of control.
• An accessory — a rule-bending utility with a drawback.

Weapons and armor can each carry an enchantment for one more layer of effect.
