Nature
The Beetle plants a seed and the building grows on its own. You can build only on the undergrowth around other nature buildings. The Caiman is invisible in water, the Swarm overwhelms the enemy.
Rooms on the server
Checking…
In the game open Network game → Public servers and pick a free room. The first player in the room chooses the map, adds computer opponents and starts the game. Only the same versions of the game can play together.
New in alpha 0.19
An opponent that thinks
The computer player got a new tactical brain. It is not meant to play as strong as possible, but in an interesting way: you can tell it is up to something, and you have a chance to outsmart it.
Changes tactics
Depending on the situation it chooses between growth, defence, a main attack and a raid. The Builder saves up for a big strike, the Warrior pushes and takes risks, the Tactician raids and scouts the map.
Retreats and regroups
It splits its army into squads. It attacks when it has the upper hand, leaves a lost fight, falls back to the rally point and tries again from another side.
Raids weak spots
It sends fast units at undefended workers, deposits and sources of Energy. It focuses fire on the weakest enemy in range.
Defends in proportion
Against a threat at its base it sends a squad that is enough for it, and it does not call off a whole attack because of one intruder. Workers flee from a raid and then go back to work.
Plays fair
It sees only what its units reveal through the fog of war, and it gets no resource bonuses. It builds according to what it has seen of yours.
Knows its race
Wounded Shamans heal at the Spirit Totem, the Wizard aims at crowds, wounded Orcs do not retreat in their fury and Humans send vehicles for repair.
Difficulty Easy, Medium, Hard or Adaptive, which adjusts to you. The lower difficulties make human mistakes: they retreat late, scout less and react more slowly.
Five races, five ways to play
Shamans
Peasants build together, the more of them the faster. The Spirit Totem heals the wounded, Archers shoot further from high ground and the Wizard hits a whole group with a fireball.
Machines
The Drone teleports the building into place. Factories and towers need the power field of the Core or a Reactor. The Walker climbs cliffs, the Interceptor rules the air.
Humans
A modern army: the Technician builds alone and fast and repairs Tanks and Helicopters. The Power Plant gives the most Energy, but burns Matter.
Orcs
Cheap and tough. They take Energy as loot for every enemy killed, wounded warriors fly into a rage and the Wyvern attacks from the air.
