Fracture the Flag

Fracture the Flag is a player-versus-player real-time strategy game with a growing set of single-player features. You gather resources, build your economy and expand your territory to conquer your opponent. Rather than relying on quick reflexes, battles depend on where you place buildings and which upgrades you choose.

Claim and defend territory

Flags mark the land you control, and you can only build and place units within your territory. Plant flags to claim resource-rich ground or locations with tactical and strategic value, and to make room for mines or siege weapons. Destroying an opponent’s flag removes its influence; buildings left without a nearby flag burn to the ground. Flags can be destroyed with bombs or siege weapons.

Build your forces

Each battle starts with a clean slate: units, structures and weapons begin at their base level, so experienced players have no in-game advantage beyond their personal experience. Early in a match, you collect resources to build weapons, add workers and plant flags. As territory expands, conflict begins. Resources also fund upgrades that improve units and unlock more buildings and military units. Upgrades can make siege weapons more accurate and powerful, extend their bombardment range and help workers move faster, deliver bombs sooner and gather resources more quickly.

Workers have no specialized roles. The same worker can load a catapult, deliver a bomb to an opponent’s gates or gather lumber, with each role largely based around one or more buildings. You can use siege weapons and hand-delivered bombs to destroy enemy walls, flags and buildings, or disrupt the opponent’s economy.

Buildings and traps

• Warehouse: the center and hub of the economy.
• Construction Yard: builds siege weapons.
