Micro RTS is a PICO-8 game by gfcarstensen. Battle your computer opponent to the death. Build and upgrade your defences, attack enemy towers and explore the procedurally generated world. Win by defeating all enemy towers. Your minions harvest wood. Use this to build new towers or upgrade existing ones. Select your tower once warriors are present and target an enemy tower to attack.

Changes:

1. Changed computer/AI opponent to also use fog of war rules.
2. Adjusted AI logic to not build it’s own towers so close together
3. Adjusted AI to attack from multiple towers more often when it outnumbers you substantially. Less stalemate outcomes arise then.
