Micro Wars

Micro Wars is a real-time strategy game built around short, fast-paced battles. You gather resources, build a base and train units, then use careful positioning and micro-management to defeat your opponents.

Commanders and armies

Choose from 13 commanders, each with a distinct gameplay twist and ability. Elias, the mechanic, researches new units faster and more cheaply and can call down a healing beam to replenish depleted forces. Voltaire, the master tactician, uses terrain to his advantage and can build a temporary bunker anywhere on the battlefield. Estelle, the flying ace, gives her aircraft heavier payloads and can call in an airstrike that damages a wide area.

You further customize your army by selecting 9 units from a roster of over 30, covering infantry, vehicles and air units. Units follow a rock-paper-scissors model: flamethrower units are effective against enemy infantry but can barely scratch tanks. You can mix units from the early and late game or specialize around a particular strategy.

Battles and tools

Online battles support up to 8 players. You can play ranked matchmaking with teammates, or create custom lobbies for free-for-all matches. Observer mode and replays let you watch other players and study their strategies.

The built-in map editor and Steam Workshop support player-created maps and map mode types. The game also has a campaign following Elias and Voltaire as they fight for the Union against the resurging Dominion forces.

Play on the go

A touch-friendly interface supports play on the go, with an even playing field between touch controls and mouse and keyboard.
