Battle Duels is a minimalistic real-time strategy game. In its core it's a duel of two generals - warlords. When one falls - the other wins. That's why the game was previously called "Warlords' Battle Duels" or "WBD".
The game serves as a sandbox or a playground, where players can spawn some armies and then control them to test their strength against the computer opponent or enjoy the show of two AIs fighting each other.
One of the distinctive features of this game is the fact that each unit has its own behaviour. While they are given orders, they each act on their own accord and can even flee the battle in certain circumstances.
Made with Unity.

The goal: defeat the enemy warlord.
There are four different unit types in the Battle Duels, each with their strengths and weaknesses:
-
Swordsmen
These guys strike fast and good. They are the bulk of any army. Shields protect them from both arrows and blades.
-
Lancers
Having greater reach and higher damage than swordsmen, lancers lack speed and are less useful in close melee. However, their high critical chance makes them very dangerous.
-
Archers
Range. You dont need to worry about enemies if they are dead before they reach you.
-
Warlords
Wielding powerfull axes, warlords are the strongest warriors to ever walk the plains of this game's world. In a couple of strikes they can get rid of the entire squads of soldiers. Be careful though, you only have one.
The game was written as a university project in 2015. It isn't currently updated or maintained.
