How to play
  1. You command the cyan army; the red army is the bot.
  2. Destroy the enemy king to win — you lose the instant yours falls.
  3. On your turn, every figure may move and strike, in either order.
  4. Move onto an empty cell; strike an adjacent foe to knock off a life.
  5. Strikes are directional: king & queen hit all 8 neighbours, rook & pawn straight, bishop diagonally.
  6. Knights strike at L-range — through walls, mud and pieces.
  7. Rooks, bishops and queens slide far, but stop at mud.
  8. Land a killing blow and your piece levels up, gaining a life.
  9. Sit your king on a shard fountain to mine 2 shards a turn.
  10. Spend shards to build units beside your king; they act the same turn.
  11. Hit End turn when you're done — then the bot answers.
You win!
