Overview

ZoC is a turn-based hexagonal strategy game written in Rust.

Core game features are:

• advanced fog of war
• slot system (single tile fits multiple units)
• reaction fire (xcom-like)
• morale and suppression

Player's objective is to capture and hold control zones for certain number of turns.

Terrain types:

• Plain
• Trees
• Water
• Road/Bridge
• City

Unit types:

• Infantry - weak, but can use terrain like Trees or City to get a defence bonus and hide from enemies; can be transported by trucks. Types:
  • rifleman - basic infantry type, 4 soldiers in a squad;
  • smg - more deadly on short distances, less deadly on full range, 3 soldiers in a squad;
  • scout - weak, but have advances visibility range and can better detect hidden enemies, 2 soldiers in a squad;
  • mortar - defenceless, but can shoot smokescreen rounds, slow;
  • field gun - effective against vehicles, slow and can't be transported inside of track, but can be _towed;
• Vehicles - can't hide in terrain, can't occupy buildings. Can't see hidden infantry. Leave a wreck when destroyed. Can take in a tow vehicle or wrecks lighter than themselves. Types:
  • jeep - fast and effective against infantry and helicopters;
  • truck - can transport infantry;
  • light tank
  • light self-propelled gun - has an armor of a light tank, but a gun of medium tank;
  • medium tank
  • heavy tank
  • mammoth tank
• Aircrafts - can fly above all terrain features; it's line of sight isn't blocked by terrain. Only one type was implemented:
  • Helicopter

Morale/Suppression system:

• every unit initially have 100 morale points and restore 10 points every turn
• morale is reduced by half a a damage chance (hit chance / armor protection) when a unit is attacked even if attack missed;
• if a soldier of the squad is killed additional suppression is added
• if a unit's morale falls below 50, then it's suppressed and can't attack anymore
