Command Doctrine

Command Doctrine is a turn-based tactical wargame in which you generate battles and campaigns from text prompts. Describe a battle—such as an ancient siege, a Cold War armored clash or a last stand in a ruined city—and the game creates its map, armies, objectives and briefing. You can also describe a war to generate a branching campaign of linked battles, each with its own story and objectives. Your choices shape the war as you progress through the campaign map.

Command your forces

Give orders manually or tell your troops what to do in plain language, including where to move, what to attack or avoid, and what to hold back from. The game turns those instructions into battlefield actions. Battles involve supply, morale, entrenchment, flanking, encirclement, terrain and fog of war.

Units and eras

You can fight with 13 unit types across seven eras, ranging from spears to hovertanks. Infantry, tanks, artillery, anti-tank teams, engineers, radar, special forces and aircraft are among the units, each with a role in battle. Veteran units gain experience, improve in quality and earn traits that affect how they fight. You can also create custom units and maps.

Battlefield abilities

Spend resources on abilities to support or disrupt your forces. Call in airstrikes, artillery barrages and cluster bombs, or keep troops fighting with supply and equipment drops. Sabotage, radar jamming and electronic warfare can weaken the enemy, while forced marches let you push your own forces harder.
