Airship Dragoon

Airship Dragoon is a turn-based steampunk squad tactics game in which you lead an airship invasion across the super-continent of Pangea. You fight pirate insurgents and manage the local population, whose happiness matters because unhappy locals may revolt.

Campaigns and battles

The game has two strategic campaigns, each managing resources, technology and population. Campaigns are randomized when created, so each playthrough differs. You can also choose Single Battle Mode to go straight into tactical combat. An average battle takes about 30 minutes; an average campaign takes more than 100 hours.

Tactical combat

Combat uses turn-based squad tactics with emergent gameplay. Battles take place across 20 battlefields, with randomized deployment, five environment types and environmental modifiers, three battlefield objectives and four kinds of weather. Enemy AI uses 11 combat tactics, while campaign AI has five strategies.

There are seven troop classes, each with four weapon and equipment upgrades. Troops have individual attributes that improve with experience if they survive combat. The game also includes Hardcore and Streamline gameplay modes, as well as an Environmental Realism Mod for high-poly environments.

• Austro-Hungarian Empire
