A simple but powerful RPG game template in C. While it's called "template" it is in fact, like the Death Star, fully operational.

How to play?

• Edit the unit stats and numbers in runits.csv
• Move the units around the ASCII map
• Magic and shooting are available to specific classes only
• Lastly, engage in hand-to-hand (melee) combat
• The first team to get annihilated (no more units) loses the game
• Think FAST, it's actually a game of strategy

"Advanced" game mechanics

• How are to hit rolls calculated? needed_roll = 7 - attacker_combat_value;
• How are to wound rolls calculated? needed_roll = 4 - attacker_strength + defender_toughness;
• What are critical hits? To hit rolls of 6 produce 2 hits rather than 1 (only certain weapons).
• What is lifesteal? To hit rolls of 6 heal 1 wound for the attacker (only certain weapons).
• How do "spells" work? Two dice are rolled, the sum must be >= to the cost.
