Hex Frontier

HOW TO PLAY

1. Click a unit (or select it with the cursor) to see its move range, then click a highlighted hex to march or a red-ringed enemy to attack. Combat is deterministic: strength plus terrain bonus plus +1 per flanking ally, so positioning is everything.
2. Move a Forge Rig onto a dashed settlement site and confirm on its own hex to found a node — up to four. Nodes yield energy from crystal, alloy from plains and data from ruins every turn; walking onto ruins claims a one-time data cache.
3. Spend alloy and energy at a node to fabricate Scouts, Rigs and Vanguards. Spend data in the tech web (KeyT): eight techs down two paths, ending in the two ascension capstones. Research both to win instantly, or hold 60% of all sites for a dominion victory.
4. The rival faction settles, researches and attacks with readable priorities — watch the banner each turn. Lose your last node or run out the turn limit and the frontier falls. Every map is seeded, so a run replays exactly.
