Overview

Tone is a very unique strategy game.  It merges a mystical ambiance with a challenging strategy game. The Tone Rebellion is placed in an interesting world of the floaters.  These floaters live, work, and exist in harmony with the Tone.  Tone is a life giving mystical substance which appears manifests it self in several forms.  The Leviathan is a "creature" (more like a set of creatures) which destroys the ancestral floaters and corrupts the tone.  The game begins after the floaters island is destroyed and the surviving floaters are scattered in small tribes.  Your task is to lead the floaters against the Leviathan and restore harmony to the tone.

Tone (substance)

Tone is found in several forms and places.  Tone exists in two natural forms.  Tone pools and tone nodes.  A tone pool is a natural collection of tone.  When a tone pool is "primed" (or restored to health by your floaters) it adds to your tone flow.  Tone flow manifests it self in two ways.  It allows you to have more tone requiring buildings active and it allows your tribe to have more floaters (which are spawned directly from a tone pool). 

A tone node is an area where natural tone flows up from the ground on the islands.  These nodes are the foundations for where buildings can be placed.  Tone nodes must be exposed by using tone spreaders.  Tone spreaders simply increase the area over which your tone flows, thus exposing tone nodes.

Tone also exists in three processed or unnatural forms.  Using tone processing buildings tone can be molded for several different functions.  These three types of processed tone include structural tone, crystal tone, and magic tone.

Structural tone is used to construct buildings and repair damage.

Crystal tone is used to power the dojos of the different tribes.

Magic tone is used to allow the different magic users to cast spells against foes and assist allies.

Tone is a resource and positional strategy game, so it is wise to guard your tone processing buildings.

Leviathan

In The Tone Rebellion the main aggressive force other than yourself is the Leviathan.  The Leviathan consists of creatures spanning from all of the realms.  There are specific spawners which correspond to a particular realm.  The Leviathan spreads by spores.  Killing spores quickly can stop the Leviathan from spreading quickly, thus overtaking the map.
