Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want direct control over individual units during battles
- Players looking for real-time matches rather than battles against dynamic replays
- Players seeking a single-front battlefield instead of a spherical map with multiple fronts
Our take on iubes:2
The defining constraint is that units act on their own: play centers on deciding what they build and when, rather than issuing basic orders to each unit.
What is iubes:2?
iubes is an online strategy game built around units that gather resources, work, fight, and defend on their own.
Players cannot issue basic orders to individual units; instead, they decide what to build and where and when to build it, shaping how the units and city develop. Choices affect construction times, new unit production, and when forces go to war. Battles pair players asynchronously: an opponent’s recorded successful strategy is replayed dynamically rather than played in real time. The battlefield is spherical, with opponents around the world and more than one front. Players start at the edge, defeat nearby opponents to advance between positions, and collect four banners before attempting to reach the center and become king.
How iubes:2 plays
- 01Self-directed units
- Units carry out resource gathering, work, combat, and defense without individual orders.
- 02Asynchronous battles
- Fights use a dynamic replay of an opponent’s last successful strategy instead of real-time play.
- 03Spherical battlefield
- The world has multiple front lines, and progress involves moving between opponent positions.
- 04Banner objective
- Advancement toward the center requires collecting four banners from around the world.
