About This Game
Doodle Empires is an alternate history sandbox game all about drawing your own nations with your own histories and stories in a variety of maps. Watch your world take shape and evolve over time, and decide which nations will rise and which nations will fall.
How to play:
1. Create your first nation by selecting a border color and typing up a name
2. Draw the borders of your new nation onto the map, while paying attention to how much drawing power you have left at the top
3. Once out of drawing power, click a nation to open the nation inspector, and hit the select button.
4. Draw a new card on the top right, which will allow you to alter the selected nation further
5. Repeat
Card Types:
1. EXPAND: There are three expand card types, which are small, medium and large expand, and they allow you to grow the borders of your selected nation.
NOTE: Expanding into unclaimed territory will be much cheaper than trying to expand into the land of other nations
2. SPLIT: There are two split card types, which are the regular split and the small split, and both will cause you to carve out a new nation out of a portion of whatever nation you selected bfore drawing the card
3. UNION: The union card allows your selected nation to fully annex another nation as if part of a royal union or similar treaty
4. NEW NATION: The new nation card will allow you to create a new nation just as you did at the start of the game, which will allow you to make a whole new Origin Group
5. NEW LEADER: The new leader card will switch out the currently selected nation's leader with a new one with new traits, which will affect how that nation expands its territory
6. BUILD CASTLE: The build castle card allows players to place and name a castle into the territory of the selected nation, which will then protect the tiles surrounding the castle, and thus make it more costly for other nations to take it
