A modern grand strategy game
Every budget line is a weapon. Run a modern state where tanks, ships and squadrons are paid for with taxes, bonds and trade — and a credit rating can fall faster than a front. Lead one of 19 nations from 2026.
The promise
Every nation stands on two pillars — and the treasury pays for both. Neglect one and the other falls with it.
The army, the navy, the air force — and the industry behind them.
The budget, the debt and the trade that pay for all of it.
Win the war and empty the treasury, and you have still lost.
The Treasury
Iron wins battles. The treasury decides how long you can keep fighting — and whether there is still a country worth defending afterwards.
Set the share of output for education, infrastructure, energy, defence and R&D, then tune the tax rate and who pays it. A year-end preview shows growth, inflation, deficit and debt-to-GDP before you commit.
Oil, natural gas, steel, copper, food, lithium, advanced chips, rare earths and gold are priced along the bottom of every screen, next to your national stock index. A blockade, a war or a bad budget moves them — and they move your economy.
When the deficit grows, your ministers bring options to the table — raise taxes, cut spending or keep borrowing — each with its price spelled out. You decide; the scorecard remembers.
National goals with deadlines, the one constraint binding your growth right now, labour and migration, and your external position: current account, imports, external debt and energy dependence.
Every year closes with a scorecard — GDP, inflation, unemployment, debt, credit rating, stability — the sentence that explains it, news from the world and a watch list for the year ahead.
A core technology tree from industrial base and chip design to advanced lithography and fusion research, plus a defence tree. Research money is finite, and a science adviser tells you where it is stuck.
See where your oil, chips and food actually come from. Supply corridors draw your critical routes on the map, show who you depend on and what a blockade would cost.
Mobilisation is paid for every week: reserves called up, civilian output lost, a blockade's bite on trade. The GDP cost of a war sits next to the front, not in a footnote.
The war room
Every screen below is a real in-game capture from the current development build.
Armies, fronts and objectives on one readable map: two-colour front lines, movement arrows and clean unit chips. The Operations Summary tells you, engagement by engagement, why the front is moving.
Open any engagement for the full picture: both commanders, the terrain, the force ratio, every division on each side, reserves and each modifier that decided the week.
Fight for regional airspace. Air superiority, air defence networks, sortie rhythm and pilot fatigue decide the skies — along with the pilot schools you funded years earlier.
44 sea zones drawn on the map. Select a task force, click a zone and give it a mission: sea control, escort, landing, shore fire, anti-submarine hunt or raid.
Run the Strategic Assessment Agency: pick its chief, fund its branches, send missions. Reports can be wrong — each one carries a confidence label, and you can ask for a second opinion.
Land, naval and air special forces with their own commander, readiness and training pipeline. Send teams on reconnaissance, target-marking and counter-infiltration missions straight from the war room.
Governments send you offers — trade, defence, research, exchanges — as illustrated proposal cards. Accept, decline or defer. The game pauses the moment a decision is yours.
Start in a crisis instead of at peace: escalation ladders, coalitions and ceasefire lines. Scenarios are fictional interpretations of parties and regions and do not represent the intentions of real governments.
