Skirmish
Custom Battles
Set up the perfect battle on your terms. Choose your faction, map type, biome, size, and AI difficulty. Play on procedurally generated maps or community-created ones from the map browser. Every game is different.
- Choose from all 9 factions
- 4 map types: Standard, Islands, Continents, Coastal
- 3 AI difficulties: Easy, Medium, Hard
- 4 map sizes: Small, Medium, Large, Huge
- 11 biomes affecting terrain and visuals

AI Commander
LLM Opponents & Voice Orders
Set any AI seat to LLM difficulty and face Claude, Gemini or ChatGPT. It reads the battlefield, adapts its plan as the match unfolds, and answers you in character when you trash-talk it in chat. On your own side, an AI Commander takes orders in plain words: type them, or hold V and speak.
- Bring your own Claude, Gemini or ChatGPT key
- Trash-talk an opponent that answers in character
- Voice orders: "upgrade all farms"
- Pit different models against each other
- Single-player and AI-vs-AI (not multiplayer)
Observer Mode
Watch & Cast
Spectating is a seat you sit in, not a mode you pick. Take the observer seat in a skirmish and watch up to eight AI commanders fight it out, or join a multiplayer lobby as one of four observers and cast the match with a broadcast-grade HUD. Watch the whole map at once, look through any single player’s eyes, or ride their camera as they play.
- Skirmish or live multiplayer — up to 4 observers per match
- All-seeing, one player’s vision, or follow their camera
- Caster HUD: production, army, income, upgrades and kill stats
- Optional delay, so observers can’t tip off players
- Playback speed 1x/2x/4x in skirmish, and a one-key clean capture
Multiplayer PvP
Real-Time Battles
Fair online matches for up to 8 players. Play free-for-all or in teams, fill empty seats with AI, chat in the lobby and in game, and track your wins and losses.
- Up to 8 players: free-for-all or teams
- Fill empty seats with AI
- Lobby and in-game chat
- Win/loss stat tracking
- Cross-play between desktop and browser
Champions of Stone
MOBA
Take direct command of your faction’s champion in fast-paced lane combat. Fight alongside automated creep waves, push down enemy defensive towers, clear neutral jungle camps, and unleash full Q/E/F/R ability kits (WASD moves the hero, so the second ability sits on F). Choose classic RTS click-to-move or action-RPG WASD direct controls across 1v1, 3v3, or 5v5 battlefields.
- 1v1 Solo Mid, 3v3 (3 lanes + jungle), or 5v5 War formats

Ways to Win
Every skirmish and multiplayer match is set up with a victory condition, picked before anyone lays a foundation, so you know what you are playing for before you commit to a build order.
9 Wonders - one for every faction
Conquest
Last Army Standing
The rule the game shipped with, and still the default. No clock, no objective, no back door - a match ends when one side has nothing left standing. Everything you build is either an army or the thing that pays for one, and the only question the map asks is who walks into whose town hall first.
- No timer and no alternate route to a win
- The default in skirmish and in multiplayer
- Still armed under every other condition below
Standard
Three Ways to Win
Conquest, a held Wonder, or every Relic on the map banked in your base - whichever lands first. This is the one that makes a losing position worth playing out: an army that can no longer win a fight can still steal the match with a Wonder nobody thought to scout, or with a single hero sprinting the last Relic home while the rest of your force dies buying him the minutes.
- Conquest, Wonder and Relics all live at once
- Rewards scouting as heavily as fighting
- Three clocks your opponent has to watch, not one
Wonder
Build It, Then Keep It
Every faction can raise one colossal monument, exactly once - the Dwarves' Forgefather, the Goblins' Great Idol of Junk, the Undead's Godsbone Cathedral. It needs a fully upgraded town hall and a fortune in gold, lumber and stone, and it sits on a 5x5 footprint, the largest in the game, under a sprite two tiles taller again, so it looms over the base it stands in. Finish it and a countdown begins; keep it standing to the end and you win. But the moment the foundation is staked out every player in the match is told, in your colour, that you have started one - and from then on everybody knows exactly where the fight is.
- One per faction, one per player - 9 in all
- 6,000 HP behind heavy armour: it takes a siege, not a raid
- Hold it for 5, 10 or 15 minutes, set before the match
- Tear it down and the countdown is gone with it
Relics
Only Heroes Can Carry Them
Ancient relics lie out on the map, folded onto the same symmetry the starting positions and the gold use, so nobody has a shorter walk than anyone else. No unit can lift one but a hero, and a hero carrying one is ringed for both sides to see, which makes him the most hunted thing on the field. Walk him back to your hero altar to bank it. Hold every relic on the map at once and a countdown starts - and stealing a single one back sends it to the beginning again, which is why the last relic is always the hard one.
- Three, five or seven relics, or scaled to the map size
- Heroes only, and a carrier is lit up for everyone to see
- Kill the carrier and the relic drops where they fell
- Raze the altar and everything banked there spills out
Regicide
One Unit Decides Everything
Every player is given a King: crowned, unarmed, and utterly unable to fight - he will not even swing back at what is killing him. What he can do is outrun his own infantry, see further than anything else on the roster, and shelter inside a town hall or fortress, which is perfectly safe right up until the building falls. Lose him and you have not lost a unit. Your entire empire dies with him in the same instant - every soldier in the field, every building in your base, at once.
- A King per player, named for his faction
- 400 HP and no attack at all - he cannot trade, only run
- He can shelter inside a town hall or a fortress
- Minimap reveal is a lobby choice: all Kings, only yours, or none
King of the Hill
Hold the Centre
A neutral Monument stands at the centre of every map, indestructible, so there is nothing to be done with it but hold it. Control is net head-count inside its radius - your units there minus theirs - so every soldier you feed in counts for exactly as much as the one sent to cancel it, and an even fight freezes the bar dead. It is a place you fight over, not a place you park. Push the bar all the way across and a countdown starts; get shoved off and it goes back to the beginning.
- One central objective, and every biome carves its own
- A map whose centre is water gets a drowned colossus instead
- Capture by net presence - a tie freezes the bar outright
- Lose control and the hold resets to full
Score
Beat the Clock
A 30-minute match clock, for when nobody has two hours. When it expires the highest-scoring team takes it, counted from what your side still holds - every unit still breathing and every building still standing, at what they cost - plus everything you killed. An army you built and lost is worth nothing, which makes the last fight before the buzzer a real decision. Conquest stays armed throughout: wipe the enemy out and you win there and then rather than waiting out the clock.
- A 30-minute clock with live standings on the HUD
- Scored on what you still hold plus what you killed
- Wiping the enemy out still wins immediately
Domination
Hold the Points
Control points are spread across the map. Every second, each one you hold adds to your score, and holding all of them at once adds a bonus. First team to the target score wins.
- 3 or 5 control points
- First to 1,500 points by default
- Wiping the enemy out still wins immediately
Capture the Flag
Bring It Home
A neutral flag waits on its pedestal. A hero picks it up and carries it back to your town hall to score. The carrier moves slower, and if they die the flag drops where they fell.
- Heroes only, and the carrier is slowed
- 3 or 5 captures to win
- Wiping the enemy out still wins immediately
Each of them can be tuned before the match starts: how long a Wonder, a full set of Relics or the Monument has to be held (5, 10 or 15 minutes), how many Relics the map carries, and whether Kings, Relics and the Monument are marked on the minimap or have to be found the hard way. In multiplayer the host owns the rules and every guest sees them before they commit, so nobody picks an opening without knowing what the match is actually about.
