Welcome to Meta Control! In this world meteors rained down from space and the radiation gave humans many different remarkable superpowers, making them Metahumans. For a while everyone used their powers for good and lived happy lives until a group of Mind Controllers started controlling other Metahumans to gain wealth and power and dispose of anyone who got in their way. This created the post-apocalyptic world we are in now and it is up to you to use your rare Mind Controlling abilities to fight back against the other Controllers to save everyone, or to claim as much for yourself as you can. Your reasons are your own. Goal of the game: Defeat the enemy by eliminating their Mind Controller. Use your Metahumans' unique stats & abilities to outsmart and overpower your opponent. Drafting Phase: You have 10 Points to build your army. • Metahuman units cost 1 Point. • Bombs cost 0.5 Points. • You MUST include at least 1 Mind Controller. • You can only include 1 of each metahuman type in your army. • Place units on your side of the board (green highlight). Press CONFIRM when ready. • In the online mode you have 90 seconds to draft your team and place them where you want. If time runs out, the amount of units you are missing will be randomly generated and placed. Movement & Attacks: • Tap a unit to select it. Green tiles are valid moves. • Units can move 1 tile orthogonally (Up, Down, Left, Right). • Moving into an enemy initiates Combat. The attacker attacks first, then if the defender lives they retaliate doing 1 damage. If the defender dies then the attacker takes their tile. if the attacker dies then the defender stays where they are. • Water tiles (Lakes) block movement for every unit but the hydrokinetic. • Special Abilities can be activated by clicking on the orange button in the bottom right after selecting them. Read the metahumans tab in the app's tutorial for more information about each special ability. Important Rules: • Fog of War: You can see enemy units, but you don't know what they are until they attack, get attacked, or use an ability. • Bombs: Invisible traps. Contact deals massive damage. Cannot be moved once draft ends unless using the Technopathic. • Turn Timer: You have 15 seconds per turn. If time runs out, your turn is skipped. • Alternating turns: You alternate turns with the enemy. When it is your turn it will display your name in green and outline the game map in green. The first turn is random. • When your unit's information is revealed to the other team, it will have an eye at the bottom of its image. • Surrendering: You can surrender matches at any time. If you surrender in an online match it is considered a normal loss. • Maximum Rounds: The maximum amount of rounds that can be played is 80. If a match exceeds 80 rounds then the player with the most combined HP left wins (excluding bombs). If total HP from both players is the same then it is a tie and battle scores are unaffected. Other Info: • Battle Score: Your Battle Score measures your skill level and determines your world rank. The game will try to match you up against players with similar Battle Scores. Increasing your battle score is also how you can unlock new metahuman units. • Friends: You can add your friends on the account screen. Once added you can view their stats, play them in a custom match, or spectate them. • Replays: You can watch the replay of yours or your friends previous 3 matches on the account screen. All replays are automatically deleted after 24 hours. • Notifications: Your notifications are where you can accept or decline friend requests and private challenges. • Leaderboard: The leaderboard displays the top 100 players in all of Meta Control along with their Battle Score. • Offline: None of your stats are affected by the offline gamemode or friendly challenge battles. • Individual metahuman units descriptions, stats, and special/passive abilities can be found in the game tutorial
