About Perimeter - Legate Edition
Perimeter, in its Legate Edition, is a real time strategy game about terrain. You lead the Exodus civilization, and nothing can be built until the ground under it is flat, which makes terraforming the opening move of every engagement rather than a detail inside one.
What follows from that is a defensive game. A perimeter is only as good as the land holding it up, territory changes shape as both sides reshape it, and the map you finish on is not the map you started with. This is an older strategy design, and a heavier one than most browser games.
How to play
- Terraform the ground flat before you build on it.
- Raise a perimeter around the territory you have taken.
- Push into the next area and hold what you take.

Tips
- Flatten more ground than the current building needs. The next one has to go somewhere.
- A perimeter with unstable land behind it is not a perimeter. Secure the ground first.
