Hello everyone!

I recently released Struggle of the Poleis, an offline turn-based strategy game inspired by the conflicts between the Greek city-states and Achaemenid Persia.

Players choose from ten asymmetric factions, expand across a hex-based map, research new abilities, negotiate peace treaties, and compete for control of the ancient world. You can play against customizable AI opponents or share one device for local multiplayer.

Main features:

• Ten playable factions with different strengths
• Turn-based territorial strategy
• Research and faction abilities
• Diplomacy and peace treaties
• Customizable AI opponents
• Local multiplayer on one device
• Fully offline gameplay
• No installation or account required

The game runs as a downloadable HTML file, so you only need to extract the ZIP and open it in a modern browser.

I originally designed it as both a strategy game and a possible educational activity for history classrooms and homeschool groups. This is one of my first published games, so I would especially appreciate feedback about the balance, interface, rules, and overall player experience.
