Players can garrison infantry inside buildings for added protection and the player can choose which side of the building the infantry occupy. Infantry can ambush, doubling their firepower and gaining stealth at the expense of becoming immobile. Capturing Enemy SoldierĪct of War has a variety of unique gameplay mechanics that differentiate it from other entries in the RTS genre. Units gain promotions and stat bonuses by killing enemy units.
At 10%, the unit cannot fire, and in the case of infantry, they become immobile and slowly lose health until they die. When the unit is at 25% health, the unit suffers a speed penalty. Ground-based unit effectiveness is dependent on health. Each faction has their unique strengths and weaknesses. The game has three factions: the US Army, Task Force Talon and the Consortium. Money is the only resource in the game and can be generated by building oil refineries and depots which convert oil to cash. Gameplay The Goal of Every RTSĪct of War plays like a traditional RTS. Richter counters by deploying Wolverine cruise missiles to shoot down the falling satellites and uses the missiles to kill Zahkarov.

TFT redeploys to Russia and with the help of the Russian army, Zahkarov is captured. Gathering intelligence, TFT identify the terrorists as the Consortium, led by Yegor Zahkarov. In Egypt, TFT encounters well armed terrorists with stealth tanks and infantry.
Realizing that the new TGE refinery in Egypt is undefended without US troops, Richter convinces General Kelly to allow Task Force Talon to deploy to Egypt. Major Richter however notices that the most recent terrorist attacks have been against TransGlobal Energy assets and speculates that the terrorist group is purposely attacking TGE because they are the only oil company whose oil prices have not risen. Concerned about another attack, the President orders the withdrawal of all US troops stationed overseas. Task Force Talon redeploys and drives back the invasion.
