- Built-in Tournaments and Championship

Everyone will be able to live the reality of Sports, and their Tournaments, enter The Brackets and reach The Final. Best overall Tournaments will have Different Categories (Resources, squad, TT). Allowing you to focus on the reward you are looking for;

- 4 Categories

To make sure you will be able to participate to the one which will bring you the expecting Reward:

• Casual: Well-known, Train you, Take a Break.

• Build Your Stack: Resources, Squads, TacticalToken. Perfect to get everything you need to build up your army.

• APEXARENA: The Built-In Championships. No one never get the opportunity to become World Champion so simply. As easy that “Let’s go” you will all be able to Climb the Ladder of the Championship and Show You are the best. Each Stage of Tournaments bring a number of Points, each time you reach one you will earn it and they will Count toward the 3 month seasonal World Championship Leader-board. At the End of each Seasons we will know who is the APEXCHAMPION. Anyone can Become World Champion.

• Esport: You also know it perfectly but these one would need first the approbation of the ESL. Spirit of Tactic is really oriented competition so I’m pretty confident but Still I can not Promise it.

-2 Kinds of Seasonal competitions (“Tournaments” AND “Ranked”):

Talk about it before the Built-in Tournaments’ Championship will be 3 months long, But this is not yet, all those who do not have enough times to participate to the Tournaments will obviously have the usual Ranked with the Quick Battles, which will also have its independent 3 months long Seasonal World Championship. This one without any schedule restriction. With the usual Casual and Ranked

-Your Rank, Your Skill, The most Fair and clear Rank’s Ladder ever:

Never you witnessed a Ranked (Quick Battles) giving you the opportunity to come from the Last places To the 1st places in a Couple of Days, everything can change at any moment. Only Your Skill will make the difference. and depending of the opponents, whatever you win or lose you will finally have the rank You Deserve. Said Differently: if you lose You can still Rank-Up BECAUSE it will completely depend of the Battle Itself and the Level/Rank of your Opponent.

- Troops Management

We want to build the ultimate Strategist Haven. So Managing your troops is crucial if you want them to fight. Ration, Exhaustion and Intoxication are the 3 very basics you will have to handle. And you will have to pick the right dishes and checking carefully their virtues if you want your troops ready for the confrontation

Most importantly during battle you can get injuries among your troops. With the unique Spirit of Tactic's battle system, there are 4 levels of injury. Each single Soldier in each squad is really fighting.

Depending the injury level and the amount different cure/potion shall be provided. If not your squad will not fight. Worst of all you may lost it. Lastly they can also get some illness, again it's up to you to pamper your Army (Quickly said, but it implies a lot ….).

- Kitchen

Uhm, uhm …. What ?

What ? "What ?" You don't what me ! Which kind of Strategist Neglect the Kitchen. Every good Tactician know that a Mighty warrior is a Warrior who have been well feed.

So All these Potions, Dishes …. It's you or the member of your alliance who will have to cook them in Your kitchen. If Cooking is really not your speciality no worries you can buy/barter it in the Market.

But that's not it. The precision of your recipe will have an impact on its virtue. Worst of all You can literally mix any ingredient together (even if they are not required) and if you mess up too much it will randomly swap a virtue to an other one. Which might destroy your stock or hurt even more your Troops if you give them.

A true simulation.

- Market

But wait you might not be kind to go to the kitchen. No worries a whole Marketplace, the foundation of the ApexArena ecosystem, is available.

Create offers, put the price you want, buy other offers, make deals or even barter. You have a complete freedom about how you manage your stock and what it will become. In addition there is the TactiToken the official Tactikast currency.

- (Sorry this one will be long, but it worst it) From "Adapt and walk" to "Prepare and Focus": THE BATTLE FLOW

For those who heard about ApexArena Years ago, at its very dawn (Hello mighty Supporter who got the patience to await the D Day). I was boasting about a mysterious "Adapt-and-Walk" Battlefield. Unfortunately this would only have been possible if it would have been Turn Based ("TB"). Still that "throughout History" (3 Years it's already a lot XD) It became Spirit of Tactic and I told me that real time ("RT") may talk to more members of our Community. So this mysterious "Adapt-and-Walk" will remain it for now.

Still that (And it's the most important) If, for so long, I didn't want to go "RT" it's simply because I knew it could not work with such Tactical Project, It COULD not….. IF …. I didn't conceive the "Prepare and Focus". And, while I was searching how to reach this RT, I finally saw IT. But this time you will not have to wait 3 Years to know what it's all about.

The main threat in RT Strategy/Tactic. It's the MMO aspect: it imply to be at several place at the same Time. Because obviously we are not going to have 3 Squads battles. There is NO WAY ….

So Total War, with the All-Stars Creative Assembly, dodged the problem by putting 20 Opponents in the same battles. With 3 Squads each, it was allowing enormous battles but still everyone have to be only 1 Place at a Time.

But at Tactikast we want OUR 1 ON 1 First. Because competition shall start with a 1 on 1. It's way to hard to find a whole Team. So it would have locked Down 95% of our community if we would have focus on team battles First (Still it remains on the Roadmap, but in second line).

So here come the "Prepare and Focus" It may look simple but it fix the problem. Every participant can only participate at one "Rixe/fight" at a time but still having troops all around the battlefield. Because When 2 opponents cross each other a "Sub-Battle" start in a limited perimeter of the battlefield with a Whole deployment phase and all its ambush. The perimeter is small enough to avoid to be lost even if you have 7 or 8 troops to handle. And all the troops out of this perimeter Stay in stand by (Nothing can happen to them). It allow multiple fight during the whole confrontation at several position of the battlefield. Until one of the opponents no longer have troops or you accomplished your Mission.

I'm not sure you understood so Let's check the plan

-Multiple Deployment phase with Ambushes

As said before there will be as much deployment phase as sub-battles (Around 5 during a "Classic" fight).

And during each deployment there will be 2 Stages:

1) Ambushes: Around the Limited perimeter You will have dedicated places, on the Flanks of the Enemies (And usually also Behind) where you can deploy squads in Ambush. It’s impossible for your Enemy to know which troops are there except If You attack him or go out. Allowing you to Surprise him and capitalize on your Tactician’s Skill.

2) Regular deployment: In addition of the 2 Units who initiated the sub-battles you will be able to deploy additional squad (Around 6-8) in the deployment area. As a regular deployment but Inside the Confrontation itself.

This "Prepare and Focus" have a lot of advantages and fix most of drawbacks. You can focus on a very specific part of the battlefield without have to worry about your other squads. And you have multiple opportunity to revert the Battle.

You no longer have to fear a bad deployment at the very beginning and if you get a bad start you will have plenty of opportunity to adapt your tactic to your opponent. Guaranteeing fairness and equity. Capitalizing on Your Skills.

- Procedural battleground

While the The whole Battlefield you saw have been generated procedurally we are not completely sure it's the right way to follow. Because tactically it may imply some sustainability problem. Still we are waiting your though about it. To make sure we will go in the right direction ("Semi procedural", might be good too).

- BattleField impact

Fields is a key of the battle so there is no way to have a realistic confrontation without it. No worries it will be present and will have a deep repercussion on your strategy, hidden in the Wheat, blocked by swamp, awaiting in the forest, Taking advantage of hills, your squads will have to adapt if they want to win the fight

- Weather Simulation

Weather usually have a Huge impact, and without a good plan taking it in consideration, it might suddenly Ruin a Whole Battle or save you from a critical moment. So you will have to cautiously anticipate the Winter Snow or Summer Drought. Deepening the Tactic and giving you the opportunity to participate in a True Battle.
