Robotech: Reconstruction

In Robotech: Reconstruction, four factions face off in an intense struggle for control of Earth's future. The Robotech Defense Force (RDF) seeks to maintain order and protect the population, but faces challenges from within and without. The Zentraedi Rebellion (ZR) incites Zentraedi civilians to join their cause, aiming for domination over humans. On the other hand, the Anti-Unification League (AUL) wants to free the cities from RDF domination, promoting independence in the midst of chaos. Finally, the Robotech Expeditionary Force (REF) works tirelessly to unite the Earth in preparation for a new alien threat. Players must guide their factions to fulfill specific objectives, while dealing with fragile alliances and fierce rivalries. Each faction has allies and adversaries, and strategy is essential for victory. Negotiations, complicity and betrayal must be balanced, as time is running out and the battle for Earth's future has only just begun.

Mechanics of Robotech: Reconstruction

  • Influence / Majority in the Area - In Robotech: Reconstruction, players compete to control different strategic regions on the game map. Each region grants different benefits, and influence is measured by the presence of allied units or bases. Controlling an area can guarantee specific advantages, such as resources or victory points, and influence the outcome of subsequent phases of the game.
  • Players with Different Skills - Each player takes on the role of a unique faction in the Robotech universe, each with special abilities and advantages. These abilities can directly affect game strategy, from the ability to mobilize troops more efficiently to carrying out unique diplomatic or military actions that provide tactical advantages on the board.
