Do you enjoy leaning into the diplomacy in your games when you play? If you’re playing an IP game and you know what the characters are like, do you try to play the way they would, or are you in it to win?

gamefound.com/projects/mar...

Tell us who you would play as first and why?

Four faction leaders of various genders and backgrounds looking thoughtful and stern.

If you have a name you really like for a particular type of system, please let us know the type alongside your comment.

Make sure you're following the campaign on Gamefound
gamefound.com/projects/mar...

Casus Belli is a game of exploration, settlement and warfare in space.

wallacedesigns.bsky.social @wallacedesigns.bsky.social · Apr 9

Matter - these are grey and represent systems you can put an outpost on to generate matter and sometimes energy.

wallacedesigns.bsky.social @wallacedesigns.bsky.social · Apr 9

Energy - these are orange and represent systems you can put an outpost on to generate energy and sometimes matter.

wallacedesigns.bsky.social @wallacedesigns.bsky.social · Apr 9

Habitable: Unoccupied - these are blue and represent systems you can colonise.

wallacedesigns.bsky.social @wallacedesigns.bsky.social · Apr 9

If we like a name, we'll roll with it.

So, in the game, there are 4 types of systems.

Habitable: Occupied - these are green and have names already. I don't have an image to share for this yet.

wallacedesigns.bsky.social @wallacedesigns.bsky.social · Apr 9

I've got a couple of our system cards I can show you as example art and these types of systems (planets) all need names. Every system card will have different art on it

Please feel free to share your suggestions here or on our socials (I will have this shared on other socials).
