DimensionDimension is one of the fundamental aspects of R.U.S.E. The IRISZOOM Engine displays maps hundred times larger than in traditional RTS games, which makes strategy gain an unprecedented scale and gives deception a lot more depth.
With the zoom, you are able to command your units as a chief-in-command and manage your troops at a tactical level as a ground officer: deploy a fake offensive on your opponent's HQ while carefully hiding your infantry in villages to ambush his surrounding tanks.
DeceptionDeception is the essence of R.U.S.E.'s gameplay, just as it is the core of warfare: deception techniques such as espionage, decoys, radio silence played an essential role during World War II that continues to exist in modern conflicts. R.U.S.E. features deception cards - also known as ruses - that let you apply a deception technique to a specific sector in the map.
The ruses are split into three categories :
Reveal : these ruses such as the Spy Plan or Decryption are useful to understand or uncover your enemy's actions.
Hide : the Radio Silence or Camouflage Net will let you hide your troops or buildings from your opponent's radar.
Fake : the last category of ruses is used to trick your enemy, to make him believe what you want him to believe. The Decoy Offensive simulates an attack to confuse your adversary.
