Just got the last part of my mini pedal board. It's literally everything I need: octaver, Rat-style distortion, delay/reverb, looper/drum machine.

Weekend coding project with my kid:
⚔️ Rome: Total Vibes ⚔️
Mostly built by Cursor with a few manual interventions. Features:
- Multiple factions & units
- Ranged & melee combat
- Tile-based map
- Perlin noise-based elevation
- Elevation-based range & speed buffs
