At the beginning, you’ll feel tempted to try and attack right away, and take over enemy buildings. This is another major challenge of the game: keeping your unit numbers up. In any event, at the bottom of the screen you’ll see the number of enemy units in total vs your own total units.

Curiously, the opening tutorial neglected to mention that specific detail, and they only focused on the fact that buildings could be upgraded. Once you have a fixed number of soldiers in a hut, it can be upgraded to speed up unit production. Your default building is the hut, and it produces soldiers over time. Thus, the cat and mouse game of invading buildings while keeping your own safe begins. It’s a simple enough concept, but you also need to make sure you don’t leave your own buildings vulnerable. Each building has a number indicating how many units it houses, and to take over a building you simply need the invading soldiers to outnumber the defending soldiers. You don’t send the soldiers in one-by-one instead, you use the mouse wheel to control the rough number of soldiers you want to send (it goes between a handful and pretty much all the soldiers in a building). You control little soldiers and you can send them to enemy buildings or move them between your own buildings. The game is broken up into levels, and the whole idea is that you take buildings. Mushroom Wars is a fairly simple strategy title, and if I had to compare it I’d say it’s most reminiscent of Eufloria.

That doesn’t mean it won’t suck up hours of your time as you guide little soldiers from one hut to another to dominate tiny maps. Luckily, Mushroom Wars is a pretty simple RTS. It’s not that the genre doesn’t appeal to me, it’s more that I’m a simple man that likes simple things. And domination which is owning all the star properties.Full disclosure: I don’t really like RTS titles. Conquest which is capturing all enemy properties. There are three game modes, King of the Hill where you have to get points by owning properties with a crown.
MUSHROOM WARS BUILDINGS PS3
Though, I originally used the controller on the PS3 version. I’ve found mouse and keyboard to be the easiest because you can select a group of your mushroom villages and send out your troops quickly. You can play with controller or mouse and keyboard. Depending on where your bases are, you should send out all your troops further in the back, and up front bases should only have a few sent out. You can send out all your troops, or smaller amounts of them. The more you defend and capture other properties, the more your moral goes up which is crucial for winning. The idea is to level up your villages to produce more men, and send them out to attack your opponent’s bases to capture them. They can be upgraded to do more damage.įorges increase the attack and defense power of the team that captured it. Towers attack nearby mushroom men of opposing colors (and can attack if a neutral color – grey). There is even a level 5 village that requires 999 mushroom men to build!

MUSHROOM WARS BUILDINGS UPGRADE
At the base level, it can hold 20 men, but as you upgrade it (at the cost of mushroom men), it can hold more and produce them faster. This is a strategy game that requires some skill. There are various mushroom towers with different effects.
