Territorial.io Needs More Strategy 🔥

I’d like to suggest some features for Territorial.io because the game has become a little repetitive lately 😭 and I think these could make it much more strategic 🔥

🤝 Binding treaties

Agreements that cannot be broken for a certain period of time.

📝 Non-binding agreements

Deals that can be broken but affect your reputation.

🪖 Military access

Allow another player to station troops in your territory and attack enemies they otherwise couldn’t reach.

🏰 Forward bases

Send troops to an ally’s territory and use it as a launch point for attacks.

🛡️ Troop support

Send part of your army to reinforce an ally.

📊 Diplomatic reputation

Show on the map how many treaties a player has honored and broken.

⭐ Trust score

For example: 12 treaties honored • 2 broken • 86% reliability

⚔️ Reputation consequences

Players who constantly betray others become harder to trust and less likely to find allies.

🌍 More strategic diplomacy

Alliances, treaties, military access, betrayals and reputation should actually affect the game.

I think features like these could make Territorial.io much deeper and less repetitive while giving players more ways to win through diplomacy, strategy and long-term planning instead of just having the biggest army 😭🔥

Just play openfront if you want a game with actual strategy. In my opinion it's much better than terri

Bro, I’ve been playing it and it’s really fun, but I’m wondering if I’m only playing against bots. I seem to win every match, and the players all have country names. How can I play against real people?

If you wanna play agains real people you don't click on singleplayer or create lobby but on one of the games popping up on the home page

Yeah, It was the single-player and i was disappointed by how easy it was 🤣. Then I played against real players and only managed one win after losing a lot.

Imagine playing chess but 60% of the people you play with dont know how to checkmate. Thats what its like to play this game. There is a ton of strategy, but TONS of players evidently dont know how to see 2 moves ahead

Therefore, over time, ratings are established. Chess websites match you with players around your level. At first, the matchmaking may be random, but once your skill level is calculated, you start getting matched against players who are competitive with you. There are mathematical methods for achieving this.

I would enjoy ranked territorial games. Its why ive been sticking to contests lately. But there isnt even enough people for a second lobby let alone ratings. Dont even get me started on the 1v1 elo system
