Our take on Countryball: Europe 1890
Players looking for direct battles may hit a wall before combat begins, when they must manage alliances, puppets, war declarations, and territory objectives. The separate need to raise statistics with star points or use combat cards adds another system before a fight can be won.
What is Countryball: Europe 1890?
Manage a countryball in campaigns or conquest mode across a setting spanning the 19th and 20th centuries.
Objectives involve taking territories, managing diplomatic relationships, declaring wars, requesting allies, creating puppet states, removing them, and annexing them. Battles use turn-based combat with cards and character statistics, including attack, defense, health, and mana. Stats can be increased with star points earned from victories, while cards and weapons provide different combat effects when used during fights. Allies and puppets can be called into battles, with puppets always responding to these requests. Campaign and conquest completion adds countryballs to the collection. More than 50 countryballs can be found through campaigns, conquests, or hidden locations in capital cities.
