Warmind

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

Three unit types locked in a rock-paper-scissors triangle, cities captured for income, and power spent on more force — this is the standard vocabulary of turn-based strategy, on a procedurally generated hex map.

The original element is the three-way victory condition, and an opponent hunting all three of yours at once.

A single win condition makes strategy games converge — there is one best line, and both sides fight over it. Three means a lead in one is a signal that tells the Warmind where to press, so committing hard to any of them is also an announcement.

Warmind is an original free browser strategy game whose AI genuinely adapts: a tactician that reads you in-battle, a nemesis that learns your habits across the campaign, and a shared meta that seeds it with how players tend to fight. Built in-house, no download required.
