Keeper of The Strait
You are the gatekeeper of a vital strait. Inspect manifests, collect fees, and block hostile ships in this hybrid of bureaucratic simulation and tower defense. When diplomacy fails, deploy tanks and bunkers to protect your base.
THE AUTHORITY OF THE STRAIT
Deep in the heart of a vital geographic chokepoint, you sit at the terminal. Every ship, from humble cargo haulers to massive military vessels, must pass through your jurisdiction. Your word is law. Will you prioritize the flow of gold, or the safety of your sovereign waters?
SCRUTINIZE. VERIFY. DECIDE.
Utilize the Document Verification System to cross-reference ship records, cargo types, and captain identities.
Compare & Contrast: Match portraits to manifests and hunt for discrepancies in the paperwork.
Enforce Policy: Follow daily directives that shift based on global tension. Block ships from hostile nations or seize illegal cargo.
Collect Fees: Every successful passage puts gold in the treasury. Balance your greed against the risk of letting a threat slip through.
TRANSITION TO ASSAULT MODE
When a ship ignores your "Reject" order or an enemy fleet arrives to force the passage, the game shifts from paperwork to projectiles.
Tactical Placement: Deploy a variety of combat units including tanks, bunkers, and specialized buildings along the coast.
Strategic Defense: Manage your resources to upgrade your arsenal. Every fee collected at the desk becomes a bullet or a barricade on the beach.
Hold the Line: Protect your base HP at all costs. If the strait falls, the world’s trade—and your career—is over.
