01 // The setting

Twenty years after the meteorites.

A rain of meteorites hit the continent of Varkan. Out of the craters came Aurium, a crystal that gives almost endless energy. The old countries fell apart and the continent broke into territories held by rival armies, each fighting for every deposit.

You command

The Free Legion

What is left of the old armies, volunteers and mercenaries who want Aurium to belong to everyone. Olive green, orange bands.

Against you

The Iron Dominion

General Kragov's disciplined army wants all of the crystal for itself. Steel blue, red bands. The same troops under another flag.

02 // Choose a battle

Five ways to fight.

Your base is home. Every battle starts from it and comes back to it. Battles pay dollars, dollars raise your base.

Attack a base

Pick another commander's base on the war map. Choose up to six kinds of troops and a deck of cards, drive the convoy to the front and send your soldiers in by hand, paying supplies for each.

  • Up to 6 troop kinds
  • Destroy the HQ to win
  • Every building = 3 stars

03 // Day, night & weather

The war keeps Romania's clock.

Day and night follow the real hour, and the sun crosses the sky with your clock. After dark your battles are fought at night, and your base waits lit: a lamp over every door, fires in drums.

A battle at night: searchlights over the field, a tank burning behind the barbed wire, the Legion behind its sandbags

Real hour

Twilight
30 min

The sun rises later in winter and sets later in summer, as it does in Romania. The night deepens until midnight, stays darkest until five, then pales toward sunrise. Raids, sieges and duels set by the server keep Bucharest's hour; a battle you start keeps your PC's.

  • Clear

    Sun and shadows

    • 100%speed and range

    The sun follows your clock: low and warm in the morning, high at noon, golden from the side at sunset, with long shadows. Cloud shadows drift across the field.

  • Rain

    Rain

    • −15%infantry speed
    • −30%vehicle speed

    It starts as a drizzle and grows, slanting in the wind. Puddles fill the ruts, and in a storm lightning strikes where you look, with real thunder.

  • Fog

    Fog

    • −40%range for snipers and long guns
    • −10%for every other gun

    A bank of fog two metres deep lies on the field, and the troops wade into it to the waist.

  • Snow

    Snow

    • −10%speed for everyone
    • −20%range for snipers and long guns, −5% for the rest

    The field whitens as it falls, and the snow settles on the trees, the roofs and the helmets.

  • Night

    Night

    • 24 mthe farthest anyone fires

    Beyond it the enemy shows only as a red silhouette, on the field and on the radar: you know something is coming, not what.

Where your base stands decides the sky

  • Varkan Plains

    Mostly clear: open fights, no surprises.

  • Eastern Marshes

    Rain in half the battles, and the rain slows the troops attacking you.

  • Valley of Mists

    Fog in half the battles: snipers and towers see less.

  • Frozen North

    Snow lies on the ground, and it never rains.

04 // The war map

An island of real commanders.

Other players' bases and the Dominion's camps share the island, side by side. Pick a target, read its defense and garrison, and go. Follow the six markers round the map, or tap one to stop on it.

Your base

Your base holds its own territory on the island. Every battle starts here and comes back here.

3 ★per base: HQ, then every building
6troop kinds per convoy

05 // Your base

Every wall is where you put it.

Place every building yourself, anywhere in your half of the field, turned as you like. Walls snap end to end; the enemy walks around them by any open path and breaks through the weakest one only if you close the base off.

Wall tiers

  1. WoodLvl 1
  2. StoneLvl 5
  3. ConcreteLvl 10
  4. ArmoredLvl 15
  • Headquarters build points, the captain and the tech tree.
  • Barracks trains every troop; up to three.
  • Research center new troops, and Intel every hour.
  • Bunkers & watchtowers fire ahead; towers fire over walls.
  • Flak & artillery down planes and rockets; shell the field.

Tear down an upgraded building and every dollar and all the Intel put into it come back.

Defenses by day: bunkers and walls around the headquarters

06 // The army

Eleven kinds of soldier. One barracks.

One barracks trains them all: its level opens each kind, and you raise each troop in it. Up to six kinds ride the convoy to the front.

    Elite barracks

In defense the barracks sends every troop it opens, each holding its post or attacking, as you set it. Each level up to 15 sends them sooner.

07 // The tech tree

Fifteen technologies, one network.

At the headquarters, under TECHNOLOGIES. Each is researched once, with Intel and dollars, and works for good. The tree opens once you build the research center.

11 // New on the front

Fresh from the front.

What the last updates brought. The game updates itself; every patch note is on its own page, and the roadmap says what comes next.

  • 2.32

    Troopstorm

    A new name, the same game and account: your base, saves and gold are where you left them. A new opening: a machine gun shoots out TROOPSTORM and lightning strikes the TS emblem.

  • 2.30 – 2.32

    The tech tree

    Fifteen technologies at the headquarters, in a hexagonal network you drag, scroll and zoom: gold when researched, steel when ready, iron when locked.

  • 2.29 – 2.31

    One barracks

    One building trains every troop. Its level opens them, every level counts up to 15, and each troop holds or attacks in defense. GENERAL ATTACK in a live defense.

  • 2.28

    Intel and gold

    Intel, the research resource, made by the research center every hour. Aurium is now gold, and gold buys looks and Intel.

  • 2.26 – 2.27

    Sun, storm and night

    The sun follows your clock, with long shadows at sunset. Lightning strikes where you look, with real thunder, and your base is lit at night.

  • 2.27 – 2.28

    New faces

    The Spotter calls GET DOWN!, the Veteran is the captain’s fifth rank, and your nearest soldier throws the smoke grenade by hand.

Coming

Oil and tanks: an oil rig, a tank factory and tanks (Drilling in the tree prepares it). Then the doctrines of headquarters 25, at the ends of the tree.

Checked on the server

Every battle that pays is replayed and verified. No cheated stars on the map.

Your account, guarded

A sign-in from a new device is announced in the game. “It wasn't me” signs it out everywhere else.

One commander, any PC

The Online world needs just a name and a password. Your base lives on the server.

The front is waiting.

Free for Windows 10 and 11. Build tonight, storm a base before bed.
