Two objectives Ascendancy (King of the Hill) or Annihilation (Classic RTS), with optional Horde Attacks and Weather Events on either
Skirmish vs AI 20+ built-in maps for 2 to 8 commanders with more coming before release, plus procedural battlefields, teams and per-seat bot difficulty
Online multiplayer Host through Steam with a 6-digit join code or invites, choose who can join, and lock seats
Resumable matches A crashed host can reopen the match with every player back in their seat

Land, sea and air Fifteen unit classes and field structures with upgrades
Spectate & replay Watch all-bot battles and replays at 1x to 16x speed; saves and replays run on a deterministic simulation

Next · in progress

Full faction campaigns More missions for the Vanguard, Court and Choir story arcs
More languages Translating the whole game, with fonts that cover every script
