Warmind

A turn-based war of wits on a hex map, against an opponent that watches how you fight, commits to a counter, and remembers you from one war to the next.

How to play

Command an army across a procedurally generated hex battlefield. Move and attack with three unit types locked in a rock-paper-scissors triangle, capture neutral cities for income, and spend power to build more force. There are three ways to win — and the Warmind is hunting all three of yours.

• Win by conquest (take the enemy Core), by economy (hold high power for several turns), or by tech (race your research to the top).
• Skirmishers beat siege, siege beats armor, armor beats skirmishers — match the right unit to the threat.
• Capture field cities for power and research, then build units from your Core each turn.
• Fog of war hides the enemy except where your units and cities can see — and the Warmind hides too.

Controls

• Desktop: click your unit to select it, click a highlighted hex to move, and click a red-ringed enemy or city in range to attack; use the build buttons and End Turn to finish.
• Phone & tablet: this is a mouse-and-click desktop game — it asks for a wider screen and isn't built for touch, so play on a computer.

Game modes

• Campaign: a persistent war-by-war run against the learning AI, with the score escalating as the campaign deepens.
• Online: face another person — create an invite, share a code, or jump into a quick match on symmetric rules.

Tips & strategy

• The Warmind locks in a counter-doctrine for several turns — feint one strategy, then switch to punish its over-commitment.
• It remembers your habits across the campaign, so vary your openings or it will pre-empt your favourite plan.
• Use zones of control to wall off chokes and protect your economy cities.
• Don't tunnel on conquest — sometimes the fastest win is quietly banking power or research while it braces for an assault.
