STONE TRIBES

An Automation-Driven Real-Time Strategy Game (RTS + Automation)

Context

The game takes place in Zyndoria. In this mystical place, tribes are fighting as automated agents that you design, using magical abilities, weapons and crafting to get decisive advantage on the battle.

Concept

Stone Tribes is a Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game with a strong RPG dimension, where the player does not directly micro-manage units, but instead designs their behaviour using an automation system that the user can design with UI. 

Rather than controlling every action, the player acts as a strategic architect, defining behaviors in advance and dynamically adapting strategies through Macros during battle.

You don’t control units.

Victory comes from preparation, coherent automation design, and the ability to adapt tactics in real time, not from high APM or constant micro-management.

Core Pillars

1. Automation-Driven Gameplay

Each character operates using an Automation Flow: a permanent, condition-based behavior that defines how the unit acts by default.

2. Tactical Macros (Player Command)

Macros are temporary tactical orders that override individual automations.

3. Group-Based Strategy

The tribe can be divided into groups, each receiving different Macros simultaneously.

4. RTS + RPG Hybrid

Each unit is a persistent character, not a disposable pawn:
