6. Game Systems

DGA's game narrative is outlined as follows:

DGA is set in a world of military technology and armed conflicts, where the player turns into a military commander who takes control over a weapon unit and has to find a proper way with it through battles — or die, i.e. quit the Game. No less, but no more. The Game doesn’t seek to make the player learn the military history, or memorise the characteristics of different weapons, or master tactical skills, or make money from the player. All this stuff matters, but, as at war, they all serve the one purpose: to help the player to know oneself to overcome oneself to subdue the enemy. That is the art of war.

DGA’s gameplay guides the player through the course of military service of the commander who rises from a young commander to experienced one and then to distinguished one. The Game arranges real-world environments and stages of the commander’s career around the main area: the battlefield, where the player’s character shall gain an edge over the enemy.

As the battles go on, the commander grows in experience, achievements, capabilities, and rises in ranks as well. Now communication and collaboration, tactical teamwork, group training, leadership skills, strategic vision come on the scene. Strong, effective leadership is underpinned by trust among players. Altogether, these qualities foster team camaraderie and embrace players into the Game’s community.
