Get ready to be a dictator! Or should we say, DicTater? Become a potato, and fight for freedom and dominance in the new strategy game DicTater! Conquer the Potato World There are millions of different maps that can be generated, and you can conquer them all! Find special monuments, flowing rivers, rival cities, and more... Grow Potatoes and an Empire Build farms and tap on your capital to cultivate more potatoes. The more potatoes you have, the stronger you will be. And if farming isn't your thing, then raid other factions! Sacrifice your Potatoes to the Gods The potatoes follow a very strict faith and will pray to deities that require potato sacrifices daily. Choose your potato god to get your favorite bonuses, and above all else, make sure you have enough sacrifice! Squash Rebellions You must apeel to your potato population, and squash any taterous rebellions! As you expand your empire, many factions will become salty, jealous of your rightful rule. They may become troublesome... Evade Protato Assassins Enemies will attempt to assassinate you! Use your reflexes while managing your empire to ensure that your reign doesn't get cut short. Align or Rival Potato Factions Declare an alignment or rival so that you stay legitimate. Different bonuses await if you use your senses, but beware if you betray those you swore to protect... Train an Army You will require many troops to conquer the world! Choose from infantry, ranged, and artillery. Dip your troops into boiling vats of deep-fry batter (to harden them). And perhaps even launch nuclear bombs! Build, Research, Advance To stay on top, you must develop your empire. Conquer more land, construct purposeful buildings, and research over 100 powerful technologies to ensure that you can compete! Enlist Spytatoes Order spytatoes of your own to assassinate enemies, engage in diplomacy, and more. And of course, read really bad potato puns! DicTater is a strategic 4X micromanaging game that has constantly changing borders and wars. You will be forced to tap to run your administration, defend from enemy raids, and get saved from assassins! And of course, there are many, many, many potatoes.

This is the AI attacking you. The game is made this way. ### 2/5 — Amazing game but in app purchases doesnt work *2020-10-28* I love this game and have spent countless hours on it so last week i bought the $20 pack and ive tried it twice now and reinstalled it multiple times it just doesnt work ### 4/5 — Pretty good! *2020-10-21* Not bad but what is annoying is that we can’t attack others if the population level is satisfaction is too low. Could be great if this was changed. ### 3/5 — Major Flaw. *2020-10-20* This game, originally, surprised me. I could play it days on end, and not get bored. Yet then, one day, I decided to stop playing it. I come back to it, and finally use the nuke weapon, and realize it can give you infinite development points. You might be thinking, “Infinite Development points is the flaw?" But, no, without the points you cannot even survive what is coming. Once you start a major war in gen 8 with another potato, for example, the green-war potatoes. Now, every A.I in this game starts at a much higher level than you do, even on easy mode. Now, I engage in nuclear war with the green-war potatoes. The A.I, for some reason, had the ability to spam request me in a communication bubble, 10000 potatoes, something almost unachievable unless you have 20 max level farms, and if you refuse this request, they nuke YOU. Now, for some reason, in this battle, they could make nukes in about 1:30 seconds, while the player makes them in 5. Their nukes also crippled your army, even if it did not hit a troop increasing camp. I go from being able to have 3000 men, to about 600, in 5 minutes. In Nuclear Warfare, unless you have a uncountable number of nukes, you cannot beat the A.I. Must i also mention the fact that their armies have no indication of having a limit, like the player has, and instantly build something when they revolt? Not even mentioning this new "Blight", which has so many flaws I could make a essay out of, this game already has too much flaws. Great game if these flaws are fixed. - ReverieOfNostalgia ### 5/5 — An amazing game I hope there will be more updates *2020-07-13* This game is incredible it has actual content and amazing potato wars I have found a bug when potatoes walk up to you and give the option to deny or except if click either option if you click really fast you can talk again and get the effects again but overall a amazing game ### 5/5 — Fantastic Game!! *2020-06-16* This game is the premier strategy game for people seeking a fresh take. The potatoes are funny and lively to see on screen, and there's always a new feature to unlock and play. It's extremely well done and I highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Fun Game For The Spud-centric! *2020-04-17* Imagine a turn based risk/three kingdoms kind of game... but everything is potato/spud oriented. Add in some whacky takes on religion, sacrificing taters, assassinations, building, spying, diplomacy, refugees, fanatics, or just right out racist root vegetables. Pretty awesome sound effects, in-house original graphics, and just a lot of focus on fun things to do with potatoes of all kinds in a campaign of growth and war. I have to admit, I’m biased. I’ve been waiting for some kind of spud oriented game. Btw, the backgrounds for the various populations, religions, etc... are funny as heck. Lol. ## Frequently asked questions about DicTater | 4X Potato Strategy ### What is DicTater about? DicTater is a 4X strategy game where you play as a potato dictator.
