Skill-based tactics

Why most tactics games feel vague
A lot of strategy games talk about "epic warfare" without showing the player why decisions actually matter. Four Star General is the opposite: skill-based tactics, hard command decisions, supply, reserves, and mission profiles do the work.
For serious tactical play, the important question is not whether a game looks war-like. The important question is whether command decisions matter. Four Star General answers that with systems you already recognize: deployment, logistics, reserve management, and timed objectives.

- Review the scenario, refine deployment and timing, and return with better tactical answers instead of relying on vague randomness.
Key features
Battlefield momentum
Each turn tightens the situation so positioning, tempo, and reserve discipline matter instead of feeling optional.
Supply and reserve management
Supply tempo and reserve use create real strategic tradeoffs instead of serving as decorative flavor text.
Mission profiles and objectives
Authored scenarios and clear objectives give battles a purpose beyond simply deleting enemy units.
Every unit type matters
Armor, infantry, artillery, air support, engineers, anti-air, recon, and logistics all matter because they change the tactical answer available to the player.
Current tactical battle prototype
The current build focuses on a tactical battle prototype that highlights deployment, reserve management, and visible combat outcomes in authored scenarios.
