What it is about

The idea is that you can use this Hex Flower as an analogue AI for solo fantasy battles – that is, you play your army and you use the AI to move the opponents units in the battle. The idea is that the AI can surprise you, whereas if you play the other army yourself, you can never suspend disbelief and so totally surprise yourself. The AI and especially the indicative actions are there to help guide the units’ choices. This AI has been ‘flavoured’ for Orcs. But, believe it or not, I looked to Sun Tzu’s art of war for inspiration, and grouped actions into the four categories. So, you can repurpose this for any army (reject the flavour and embrace the essence of the AI’s instructions). I might yet make a similar product for other standard army types … Humans, dwarves, elves, ratmen, undead etc. Hex Flower background – what’s a Hex Flower anywho? A Hex Flower ( HF ) is like a random table, but with a memory.
