System Overview: “The Great Pikumant War” is a simple and fast-paced tabletop RPG
designed for strategic warfare enthusiasts. Players take on the roles of Pikumant commanders,
leading their colonies to battle against rival Pikumant factions in a summer rain-soaked world.
The game focuses on resource management, tactical decision-making, and epic Pikumant
battles. One of the key points to note is that luck and probability is extremely rare, as forward
planning and adapting to chaotic change is needed.
Setting: The game is set in a sprawling garden near a forest during a hot summer,
where rain showers are a common occurrence. Different Pikumant colonies have staked
their claim on various territories within the area, and conflicts over resources and
dominance are escalating. The garden is filled with lush vegetation, towering trees,
winding streams, and hidden treasures. While the forest has ancient trees and
battlegrounds, monsters lurking everywhere, and precious resources for brave
commanders.
Character Creation: Players create their Pikumant commanders, customizing them by

selecting their Pikumant species, physical attributes, and specialized abilities. Each
Pikumant species brings unique strengths and weaknesses to the battlefield, allowing for
diverse strategies.
Hive Design: Player Characters together build a hive, an elaborate dungeon fortress
settlement for their Pikumants to base out of, customizing their defense, buildings, and
inhabitPikumants.
Game Mechanics:
● Resources: Pikumants need to gather resources such as food, water, and building
materials to sustain their colony and wage war. Resources can be obtained from
foraging expeditions, captured territories, or through diplomatic negotiations.
● Combat: Battles are resolved through strategic decision-making. Players allocate their
Pikumant units to various tactics, including frontal assaults, flanking maneuvers,
defensive formations, or ranged attacks. No dice rolls needed to determine the success
of actions, player strategic choices and resource management play crucial roles in
victory.
● Environmental Factors: The ever-changing weather conditions impact gameplay. Rainfall

can hinder movement, flood certain areas, or create temporary hiding spots. Pikumants
must adapt to these conditions and strategize accordingly.
● Evolution: Successful Pikumant earn experience points, which can be spent to improve
their colony’s abilities and unlock unique traits for their hive, like increased tunnel size,
improved egg chambers. As well as spending xp on Pikumant units, such as increased
strength, better foraging skills, or specialized combat maneuvers.
Objectives:
The main goal of “The Great Pikumant War” is to lead your colony to dominance by
outmaneuvering and defeating rival Pikumant factions. Players must manage their group's
resources efficiently, plan tactical strikes, explore the garden for hidden treasures, and make
alliances or wage war to achieve victory.

How to play
The Gamemaster provides a situation currently at tarsus for your colony. You and your fellow
players plot and describe what they intend on doing.
Role-Playing and Commanding as an Pikumant:
You are a Pikumant, you are tiny, you are frail, and the entire world is against you. But you are a
unique breed, with the mind sharper than any bug, gripping claws to handle tools, a fanatic
devotion to your queen, and a legion that obeys your word.
Your kind stands about 2-4 cm tall, and your vision and hearing is limited to about a meter at
ground level. You have a one-in-six chance of noticing hidden threats and objects due to your
poor senses.
You are in control of your commander, and you are somewhat in control of the loyal Pikumants
who are entrusted to you by the Queen’s decree. You and your kind are able to grab objects and
manipulate them with your two front limbs, and you communicate through 1-6 word phrases
called verbal-pheromones.
Verbal-Phermones are physical scents that are tiny spheres left on a surface for as short as a
few seconds, to as long as a week. It takes only a round to make another one. You can make as
many as you wish, and other Pikumants also pick up and drop these. The range to “hear-smell”
these pheromones is only 10 cm away. These pheromones are also water-soluble, meaning
any contact with water instantly destroys it. When one encounters multiple, they will randomly
choose to obey one or sometimes pick one that best makes sense. Your Verbal-Pheromones
are like a thumb-print and a voice, only those loyal to you will understand them.
While you are an intelligent breed, unfortunately other non-commanding Pikumants are very
dim-witted and in need of constant guidance. They will follow simple verbal-phermonal
commands to the letter, if they are three words in length. Brighter and experienced ones might
be able to understand four or five. They are also capable of communicating by releasing
verbal-pheromones. They will follow orders until new orders are given, their survival is at risk, or
they have met the orders objectives.
Lastly as a good practice, remember to ask questions together, draw maps, plot, fight to win,
and always accept that the best plans can go awry when a rainstorm happens.
Checks
When something is done that involves risk, injury, or consequences, then a check is needed.
When you take an action that involves risk or doubt, the GM announces what physical attribute
is needed by your commander and what value. If the value meets or exceeds then you can
succeed in the check.
However if it doesn’t, then you fail and the GM will give you two choices, you as a player select
which choice you wish to take. A list of options include,
● Positioning- You or your Pikumants are put in a bad position.

● Harm - You, a structure, or your Pikumants, take Pikumantpower damage, roll a number
of d6 after choosing, the number of dice determined by the Gamemaster.
● Time - You or your Pikumants will require additional time
● Unforeseen consequences - Prepare for unforeseen consequences.
● Resources - you are required to spend resources determined by the GM. This could be
actual resources from the hive (Food, Water, Building Materials), additional
Pikumantpower needed, or something else.
Contested Checks
If you and another Pikumant, or your group and another group of Pikumants are contesting each
other, whoever has the highest appropriate stat wins. On a tie, a luck roll is needed.
Luck Rolls
Occasionally actions that involve chance need a x-in-six chance to succeed. The gamemaster
announces the probability, rolls the dice and declares success or not. For example, a two-in-six
chance requires rolling a one or two to succeed.
Advantage and Disadvantage:

Clever planning and positioning might put you at advantage, if that’s the case your value for a
physical attribute is doubled, damage is doubled, or a beneficial event occurs.
However in case of the opposite, your physical attribute is halved, damage is halved, or you
take both choices for a failed check.
Combat:
In “The Great Pikumant War”, combat happens over the course of 1 minute intervals. When two
adjacent opposing forces meet, they often will follow any initial orders given to them.
1.Initiative Determination: Calculate the initiative score for each Pikumant unit based on their
agility attribute. Higher agility scores result in higher initiative scores. Ties resolve by rolling a
dice.
2.Simultaneous Actions: All players declare the actions they intend their Pikumant commanders
to take during the combat round. These actions can include attacking enemies, dropping
verbal-pheromone orders, moving, using abilities, or performing other maneuvers. Some actions
might raise or lower your initiative scoring depending on how time consuming it is. Pikumant
units follow orders given to them and take actions that are interpreted from the orders given.
3.Initiative Scoring: Each Pikumant unit’s declared action is associated with their initiative score.
Actions are resolved in descending order of initiative scores, starting with the highest score.
4.Action Resolution: Starting with the Pikumant unit with the highest initiative score, resolve their
declared order. Determine the outcome of the action, such as attack, movement, or ability
effects. Apply damage calculations, special effects, and consequences accordingly.
5.Repeat Resolution: Continue resolving actions in descending order of initiative scores until all
Pikumant units have taken their turn. If multiple Pikumant units have the same initiative score,
their actions can be resolved simultaneously or in any predetermined order.
6.Effects and Consequences: Apply any special effects, conditions, or consequences resulting
from successful actions, such as poison, damage over time, or temporary debuffs. These effects
may impact the combatPikumants’ abilities or hinder their performance in subsequent turns.
7.Turn Progression: Proceed to the next combat round, recalculating initiative scores based on
the Pikumant units’ agility attributes if any changes were made. Repeat steps 2 to 6 for
subsequent rounds until the combat encounter reaches its conclusion.
8.End of Combat: The combat ends when the victory conditions are met, such as the elimination
of all enemy units, achieving a specific objective, or when one side surrenders. Conclude the
combat encounter and proceed with the game based on the outcome.
Attacks:
Regular Attacks always hit, take your attack value and subtract from defense. The difference
is how much Pikumantpower damage you deal. If their defense is higher, then you deal only one
damage and your attacking units take damage equal to the difference.
However special formation tactics are specially specific orders given that allow for strategic
maneuvering and ways to defeat a tough enemy. These will use a different stat for attacking and
defense. Like Charisma vs Charisma or Agility vs Defense.
Units can attempt to simultaneously attack and defend, if two or units that are able to attack a
single target do so at the same time. Select one main unit and elect the other units as
supporting units. Supporting units add half their attack value. Doing so forgoes their ability to
attack elsewhere this turn.
Defending units can also attempt to simultaneously defend a single point, adjacent units can
add half their defense values to an attacked unit. But doing so means they will have half their
defense value when attacked from a different target.
A single Pikumant attacking a unit makes attacks at disadvantage. Whereas a unit attacking a
single Pikumant attack with advantage.
Pikumantpower:
Pikumantpower represents the effective cohesion an Pikumant commander or Pikumant unit
possesses. Think of it like hit points. When a unit or commander reaches zero, then they are
dead.
Rest and Healing:
There are three ways your commander and Pikumants can heal,
Short Rest - Takes one Turn, heal 2 Pikumantpower
Long Rest - Takes one Watch, heal 8 Pikumantpower
Full Rest - Takes one Week, heal all lost Pikumant power, and remove any negative conditions.
Time:
Time is broken into three categories,

● A round which is 6 seconds
● A turn which is 10 minutes
● A watch which is 36 turns.
Pikumants only need to sleep for a watch per day, and spend at least a turn eating or drinking. A
unit can rest with a posted nightwatch if it has 3 or more Pikumantpower.
Actions:
Throughout the game, each player will simultaneously make actions. Actions are resolved in
initiative order, which are determined by the agility value of each commander. When in combat
you can move, and make an action.
A list of example combat actions for your commander include but are not limited to, attacking,
running away, hiding, mitigating, performing risky tasks, using alchemical components, building,
and especially giving orders.
A common list of orders include,
Attack: Direct an ant unit to engage an enemy unit in melee combat, utilizing their attack stat to
inflict damage. See attacking.
Defend: Command an ant unit to adopt a defensive stance. They will not attempt to move
unless ordered to.
Flank: Coordinate a flanking maneuver, instructing a group of ants to position themselves on the
enemy’s side or rear to gain a tactical advantage.
Ranged Assault: Deploy ants with ranged abilities to launch projectile attacks from a distance,
utilizing their ranged attack stat to hit enemy units.
Support: Direct a specialist or non-combat ant to provide support to allied units, offering healing,
buffs, or other beneficial effects.
Retreat: Order a strategic retreat, guiding the ants to disengage from combat and regroup for a
better position or to avoid overwhelming enemy forces. Puts your units in disadvantage.
Maneuver: Command ants to change their formation or positioning on the battlefield to adapt to
the changing tactical situation.
Coordinate Tactics: Instruct multiple units to synchronize their actions, combining their abilities
and attacks for increased effectiveness.
Focus Fire: Designate a specific enemy unit for concentrated attacks, instructing multiple ants to
target and overwhelm that particular foe.
Formation Tactics: Formation tactics are actions that are learned through training, one does not
start off with formation tactics, but instead learns them from battle, a mentor, or training.
Examples include,
Frontal Assault Tactics:
Charge: The Pikumant commander leads their unit in a fearless charge, focusing on
overwhelming the enemy with brute force. This tactic grants a temporary bonus to attacks and
damage for all Pikumants involved in the frontal assault. When a unit is given this order, your
units move forward 4 hexes and make an attack with +2 attack. A successful attack pushes
enemy units directly backwards one hex.
To learn this maneuver, one must directly lead an attack with their units and survive direct melee
for two rounds.
Phalanx Formation: The unit forms a tightly packed formation, shields interlocked, creating a
formidable defensive line while advancing towards the enemy. This tactic provides a bonus to
defense, making the Pikumants more resilient against incoming attacks from the front. When a
unit is given this order, your unit's movement is halved for a turn, but your units gain advantage
on frontal attacks. Additionally your units cannot be pushed, and attacks on a flank are at
advantage.
To learn this maneuver, you must directly break through an enemy formation or shirld wall by
making a contest of strength.
Savage Swarm: The unit utilizes a coordinated frontal assault, striking with unrelenting ferocity.
This tactic allows the Pikumants to make multiple rapid attacks against a single target,
increasing their chances of overwhelming the enemy with a relentless assault.
Defensive Formation Tactics:
Shield Wall: The Pikumants form a defensive shield wall, interlocking their bodies to create a
solid barrier. This tactic significantly boosts defense against frontal attacks, making it difficult for
enemies to penetrate the defensive line.
Circle of Defense: The unit forms a circular defensive formation, protecting their vulnerable
flanks and presenting a unified front. This tactic provides a bonus to defense against flanking
maneuvers, making it harder for enemies to exploit weak spots in the defense.
Towering Fortress: The Pikumants stack themselves vertically, creating a towering fortress that
offers increased protection. This tactic grPikumants a bonus to defense against ranged attacks,
reducing the effectiveness of projectiles and making it more challenging for enemies to hit the
Pikumants.
Flanking Maneuver Tactics:

Swift Strike: A small group of Pikumants executes a swift flanking maneuver, targeting the
enemy’s weak flank. This tactic grants a bonus to attack and damage for the Pikumants involved
in the flanking maneuver, increasing their chances of inflicting significant damage.
Ambush from Shadows: The Pikumants utilize stealth and camouflage to launch surprise
attacks from concealed positions. This tactic allows the Pikumants to remain hidden until they
strike, granting them a bonus to attack and evasion during the ambush.
Pincer Attack: The unit splits into two groups, encircling the enemy from both sides. This tactic
puts pressure on the enemy, forcing them to defend against attacks from multiple directions,
potentially resulting in the enemy’s defense penalty and making it easier for the Pikumants to
breach their defenses.
Ranged Attack Tactics:
Acid Volley: Pikumants equipped with acid-spraying abilities unleash a coordinated volley of
acidic projectiles. This tactic inflicts additional acid damage on the enemy units, corroding their
defenses and potentially weakening them.
Precision Snipe: Pikumants with exceptional accuracy and ranged attack skills focus their efforts
on precise shots against key targets. This tactic grants a bonus to attack and damage for
ranged attacks, increasing the chances of hitting vulnerable spots and causing significPikumant
damage.
Barrage Barricade: The unit unleashes a barrage of projectiles, creating a temporary barrier of
projectiles that intercept and deflect incoming ranged attacks. This tactic provides a bonus to
defense against enemy ranged attacks, reducing the effectiveness of the incoming projectiles.
Morale:
When a NPC or unit is placed in a particularly hazardous or stressful position. A luck roll is
made by the GM, with a low number like one-in-six being rolled if the unit had suffered low
casualties, and three-in-six for example if the unit was ambushed. When they fail, the unit will
attempt to retreat to safety or their hive.
Movement:
A Pikumant with speed 4 normally marches about .5 meters in 6 seconds or one overland hex
an hour. In combat they tend to move doubletime to 1 meter in 6 seconds or 4 hexes. A unit that
is marching doubletime can only do so for a turn. After which they must rest for two or risk taking
damage.
Commanders can occupy other friendly units' hexes. However units cannot occupy the same
hex as another unit.
In battle you move 2 hexes per movement point value.

In "The Great Pikumant War," units are diverse entities with unique strengths, weaknesses, and
abilities. From Commanders, to resource-gathering Workers to armored Soldiers, agile Scouts,
healing Medics, precise Rangers, formidable Elite Guards, and defensive Shield Pikumants, and
others, each unit serves a distinct role in strategic warfare. Players must tactically deploy and
leverage these units, considering their stats and abilities, to triumph in the intense Pikumant
battles of the game.
The stats are,
Name: This represents the name or identifier of the unit, allowing players to distinguish between
different units.

Constructions
Constructing a building or object requires four things, knowledge on how to make it, building
materials, time, and workers. One can attempt to build objects like simple tools and weapons by
themselves, but larger projects like hives, tunnels, defense networks, scout towers, spears and
armor, and alchemical labs will need assistance.
Occasionally a luck roll might be made in secret to check if the project will succeed on time or
need more resources.
Here is a list of available constructions,
Construction Cost Workers

needed
Tunnels - 15cm
Upkeep requires a cost of 5% building materials per week.

their opponents. This includes deciding which enemy units to target, when to retreat, and how to
exploit the terrain and environmental factors.
4. Resource Management: The availability and allocation of resources, such as food, water, and
building materials, can impact combat effectiveness. Managing resources wisely is crucial to
sustaining the colony's strength during battles.
5. No Random Rolls: Combat actions do not rely on dice rolls. Instead, the outcome is

introducing fresh units to the battlefield.
8. Environmental Factors: The ever-changing weather conditions and terrain impact combat.
Rainfall might affect movement or create temporary hiding spots, while obstacles like fallen
leaves or rocks could provide cover or hinder certain tactics.
9. Outcome Determination: The outcome of a battle is determined by assessing the overall
strategic choices made by both players during the engagement. The player with superior tactics,
unit allocation, and resource management is more likely to achieve victory.
Remember, these rules can be expanded upon or adjusted to fit your specific vision for "The
Great Pikumant War."
Certainly! Here's a simplified combat turn order list for "The Great Pikumant War":
1. Initiative: Determine the initiative order at the beginning of each combat encounter. This can
be done through a predetermined order or by using a simple initiative roll, where each player
rolls a dice and the highest roll goes first.
2. Player Turns:
a. Pikumant Commander Actions: Each player takes turns controlling their Pikumant
commander and issuing commands to their units. Pikumant commanders can perform various
actions, such as giving orders, using special abilities, or initiating attacks.
b. Unit Actions: After the Pikumant commander has taken their turn, the player controls their
individual Pikumant units one by one. Each unit can perform actions, such as attacking,
defending, using special abilities, or moving.

In "The Great Pikumant War," the number of units a player character controls can vary
depending on the game's design and balance. Here are a few considerations:
1. Scale and Complexity: Determine the scale and complexity of the game you envision. If you
wPikumant a simpler and more streamlined experience, a player might control a smaller number
of units, such as a handful of Pikumants. This allows for focused decision-making and strategic
depth.
2. Gameplay Balance: Consider the balance between player control and manageable gameplay.
Too few units might limit strategic options, while too many units could become overwhelming to
control effectively. Find a balance that provides meaningful choices without overwhelming
players.
3. Game Objectives: Consider the game objectives and the role of the player characters. If the
focus is on individual Pikumant commanders leading their colonies, players might control a
moderate number of units, allowing them to experience different unit roles and tactics.
4. Resource Management: Take into account the resource management aspect of the game. If
players need to allocate resources or manage units' needs, controlling a larger number of units
might increase the challenge and strategic depth.
Ultimately, the number of units a player character controls should strike a balance between
gameplay complexity, strategic decision-making, and player engagement. Consider playtesting
and gathering feedback to fine-tune the optimal number of units for your game.
If players in "The Great Pikumant War" are assumed to control large groups of Pikumants, here
are some considerations:
1. Group Formation: Players can organize their Pikumants into formations or squads within their
larger group. This allows for tactical flexibility and coordination on the battlefield. Each formation
can have a designated leader or commander responsible for issuing orders.
2. Command Hierarchy: Within the player's control, there can be a hierarchical structure where
higher-level Pikumant commanders oversee multiple formations or groups. This adds an
additional layer of strategy and decision-making, as players manage both individual units and
the larger organization of their Pikumant colony.
3. Unit Specialization: With larger groups of Pikumants, players can have specialized units
within their forces. Some units may be focused on combat, while others specialize in resource
gathering, scouting, or support functions. This adds depth to the strategic options available to
the player.
4. Unit Coordination: Managing larger groups of Pikumants requires efficient coordination.

Players can incorporate mechanics that allow for group movements, flanking maneuvers,
combined attacks, or defensive formations. These mechanics encourage players to consider the
positioning and actions of their units as a cohesive force.
5. Resource Management: Controlling large groups of Pikumants may require more extensive
resource management. Players need to ensure their colony has sufficient resources to sustain
and support the large population of Pikumants, including food, water, and building materials.
Remember, while controlling larger groups of Pikumants can offer strategic depth and
immersion, it's essential to strike a balance that keeps the gameplay manageable and engaging
for the players. Testing and iteration will help refine the optimal size and mechanics for
controlling large Pikumant groups in your game.
