It&#8217;s a 2D game that copies the gameplay of Medieval Clash &#8211; the player and an artificial intelligence gain gold over time which they use to send fighters against each other in a single line. When two fighters meet, one destroys the other (based on who has more hit points).<\/p>\n<p>My game innovated upon the original Medieval Clash by having two lines of combat: ground combat and aerial combat. It also had a large number of units and spells the player could use.<\/p>\n<p>It is the last game I programmed in the tool Peter by Miroslav N\u011bme\u010dek. The game placed second in the Gamedev.net Four Elements VI contest! The rules of the contest specified four elements to be used by each entry: explosions, ponies, accountants and crystals. Each game had to use at least three of them and I chose not to include accountants.<\/p>\n<p>The game was created at the age of 15, in 2008.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-59 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/hudecekpetr.cz\/cs\/scop_3\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/hudecekpetr.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/SCOP_3-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-92\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hudecekpetr.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/SCOP_3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hudecekpetr.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/SCOP_3-225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/hudecekpetr.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/SCOP_3-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-92'>\n\t\t\t\tThe game features a day\/night cycle.

But years later, when an orc army reaches the lands, the human prince has no choice but to embark on a quest to gather all the crystals again because he must use their power to banish the orcs, even if it means that ponies would lose their intelligence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Additional links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/archive.gamedev.net\/archive\/community\/contest\/4e6\/\">Gamedev.net&#8217;s Four Elements VI\u00a0contest website (archived)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hrej.cz\/plne-hry-zdarma\/akce\/arkada\/seven-crystals-of-power\/\">Review by hrej.cz (in Czech)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.freegame.cz\/hry-ke-stazeni\/zdarma\/strategicke\/seven-crystals-of-power\/17515\">Review by freegame.cz (in Czech)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seven Crystals of Power\u00a0was the second complete game from me.
