How do I play Battle Mate?

Select one of your units, then tap the order buttons to build its eight-step queue · each unit has 8 action points to spend, and heavier orders like Charge and Shoot cost two. Plan every unit, then press Execute. All units run their orders simultaneously over eight ticks, and you win the round if every enemy unit is dead by the end.

What do the three unit types do?

Soldiers walk one tile and are immune to a cavalry charge from the front, but take two archer volleys to kill. Cavalry walk two tiles, can charge three, and instantly kill any unit they enter from the side or back · but they die charging a soldier head-on. Archers can shoot a straight line two to eight tiles ahead, killing cavalry and archers outright, but they fold to a single arrow or any unit that touches them.

What does "simultaneous turns" mean?

Unlike chess, nobody waits their turn. On each of the eight ticks, every unit on the board carries out the order in that slot at the same moment · arrows fly first, then everyone moves. That means you have to predict where the enemy will be on each tick, not just where they are now.

How is my score calculated?

You earn 100 points for each enemy unit destroyed, plus every action point your surviving units did not spend. So clearing the board is the goal, but doing it with a short, efficient plan that leaves points unspent scores higher than a sloppy win.

Does it get harder as I go?

Yes. Early rounds pit you against a single enemy on a clear line. As your streak climbs, more enemies join, soldiers appear that need two volleys to break, and you more often have to wheel a unit to face the right way before it can act · so the eight-step puzzle gets tighter.

Does it work offline?

Yes. PlayMemorize is a Progressive Web App. Install once and Battle Mate plays anywhere without an internet connection.
