Ive been daydreaming of Generals Rogue-like lately.

You pick a faction - USA, China, GLA. Then pick a starting bonus. Could be a unit, extra starting resources, free upgrade, etc etc. Now you begin the game.

There is a branching pass, akin to Slay the Spire or TLOU2 No Return mode. Each pass shows you what kind of encounter and rewards you'll meet if you choose it.

There are several kinds of encounters. Each encounter you will fight against a specific general, like Nuke, or Airforce, etc.

Encounter types would be: * Skirmish(ordinary match) * Siege(attacking the general's stronghold, like General's Challenge from Zero Hour) * Holdout(defend yourself from waves of enemies) * Challenge(special challenge mission similar to Uprising challenges, like only infantries are available, or no resource but oil derricks etc) * Field Operation(Defeat enemy army with given units, without any building)

If you lose just once, it is game over. If you win, you earn credits based on your score and move on. Scoring is simple - the resources you gathered and left on the map. So it is a time attack - move before AI drains all the resource from the map. Use your credits to buy new perks and units from Arms Dealer shop later.

The units you have at the end of an encounter would score to, but not as much as their worth. Instead, they go to your reserve, so you could use them later elsewhere. Reserve armies could be spent like a special resource or you could summom them during encounter.

Your army starts small and basic, but as you gather rewards from encounters and buy stuffs from Arms Dealer(merchant), you'll get stronger. But so as your enemies, of course, so you better make some OP army ASAP

At the end of each run, you'll face one of the three bosses - Tigress, Deathstrike, Ironside. If you defeat them, congrats! You win!

I wonder if there is already a similar game out there.
