About this game

Gameplay

At first glance, the battlefield may feel familiar: gather resources, construct buildings, and produce units. But once deployed, your forces act on their own. Workers harvest, scouts explore, and combat units attack the enemy. There is no micromanagement of individual troops. Instead, every decision before a unit leaves the factory becomes critical.

Which units should you produce? When should production begin? Do you invest in another facility, upgrades, expand or produce units now? Can you anticipate your opponent's next wave and prepare the right counter in time?
