Invasion Machine

IntroductionInvasion Machine is a blend of a sandbox manager and RTS Your goal is to command troops in an occupied province in an effort of bringing back peace and order Kill your enemies help the civilian population preserve the resources and the lives of your own soldiers
The SettingWhat led to our recent occupation of this land is still at the center of a heated political debate
What followed the invasion was the worst scenario we may ever have imagined we hoped we d be able to instill better leadership and let this country rebuild itself But that s not what happened though Our toppling of the local government created a power vacuum in the area which is now quickly leading to an unprecedented rise of new powers the druglords locally known as Guerrillas If we don t stop this transformation this entire country is gonna explode We were not preparing for this kind of wae and it seems it s the last moment when we can still turn things around
You as the Commander of this Peace Force are tasked with restoring order and preparing ground for a new legitimate government.The MissionIf we re to ever leave this land we must first win over the hearts and minds of the local population The locals think we ve ruined their lives and quite frankly most of them hates us In order to win their trust we must do our best to push out the criminal element neutralize the remaining opposition and offer humanitarian help to them.The Real MissionPoliticians run wars and politicians only care about one thing getting re-elected In other words your real job as the Commander is to make this war look good to the folks back home Don t get your soldiers killed don t lose too much equipment and most importantly don t let the press see anything that would contradict the official story And the official story It s obviously that we re winning.The CampaignDivided into8 chapters The game takes you through the entire story of the invasion starting right after the main battle of the war ends At the beginning you are given just a handful of troops and old derelict equipment Unarmored soft-shell transporters on the frontline Check Woodland camo in a desert country Check The army wasn t really prepared for a long invasion and yours is just one of many missions in this conflict So if you want better resources you re gonna have to prove to your superiors that you re worth them The campaign ends once you manage to secure your province and hold elections When a new government can be trusted with taking the country over we finally get to go home

Your units are not mindless robots kill their friend and they may enter frenzy Hurt them and they ll quickly start bleeding out
Your enemy has no satellite overview of the battlefield like you do To fight your forces they first need to find out where you are This means the AI will send out recon missions of their own and if the scouts find high value targets they ll report the findings back and call for bigger operations
The locals don t really have the option of being completely neutral If the enemy presence is strong in the province they ll start cooperating with them instead of helping you out
