About Capitals

A mash-up of the common idle clicker genre and a city builder, Capitals is a fast-paced and competitive strategy game. Each match is set on a resizable game board made up of hexagonal tiles, randomly generated each time you play. Games will have you try to build and grow your city as fast as possible, forcing you to keep up with the ai or players you're up against. There are two ways to win: spread your territory as far across the map as possible, building over enough "winning tiles" to collect the majority out of all other players; or play the offense/defense game and wipe out your competition. But if you aren't playing a balance of both you're bound to lose. This game is a year-long labor of love accompanied by a thorough soundtrack from a project partner, so I hope this delivers! If you'd like to learn more about the both of us the developer credits include links and are on the first page upon opening the game...

Yeah, this game is just... poorly designed. To the point where its impossible to recommend. The clicker idea sounds cool at first, but you literally can't do anything while you are holding down the spacebar to earn resources. You can't even keep any menus up so you can at least keep track of what you are trying to earn towards. It doesn't help that you have many resource buildings, and many of those buildings will hurt the production of other resources. I really liked the aesthetics of the game, but yeah, it needs a fundamental redesign of the game mechanics to be worth checking out, even for free. Unless of course, you like the sound of a highly punishing, yet still very slow paced, RTS, that requires you to hold down the space bar constantly, and requires you to turn off production of all resources whenever you want to look at any menu.

Capitals is an indie strategy title created and published by TheTrueEnding that blends elements of city-building, tactical board games, and idle mechanics into a compact competitive experience. Instead of presenting a long campaign or large-scale civilization simulation, the game focuses on short strategic matches where players attempt to grow their capital city across a procedurally generated map while competing with rival factions. The result is a hybrid strategy game that emphasizes rapid expansion, clever positioning, and efficient decision-making rather than the slow, detailed development typical of traditional city builders. At the start of each match, players are placed on a hexagonal grid map that serves as the battlefield for expansion. Every tile represents a piece of territory that can potentially be claimed and developed into part of the player’s growing capital. The objective is straightforward: expand your influence across the board while preventing rival cities from doing the same. Because all participants are competing for the same limited space, the map quickly becomes a strategic puzzle where positioning and timing determine success or failure. The hex-grid layo…

I really wish I could recommend this game. It looks fun and can be, but with the lack of tutorial and basic info in game it's hard to recommend to anyone.
