Eco Island

Eco island is a turn based resource management game. The player has a third person view over a small island with a certain manageable number of resources where every turn certain consequences happen that pollute the environment and reduces the resources. You may also click and gather resources from the map. The map will either remove the model from the map if tile is polluted or pollute the tile if it is stable.

Turns

• Actions performed based on energy
• Each action uses energy
• Cleaning a tile which switches from polluted to clean - costs 10 Energy
• Upgrades to tiles - costs 50 Energy
• Building a city - costs 100 Energy
• Max energy increases with the creation of wind turbines or nuclear power plants
• At end of the turn, the board will update using Conway’s Game of Life rules
