Unending War: Grand-Strategy Chess is a fantasy strategy game built around chess, with a strategic world map above the chessboard and RPG-style battles below it. Seven gods fight to conquer a vast, brutal world. You take control of one of them, secure resources, capture locations and build fortresses and supply depots.

The strategic map

You can conquer over 650 provinces, each of which can be upgraded with a variety of buildings. Seven gods, along with other enemies and AI opponents, contest the map. Its different terrains encourage, but do not require, realistic patterns of empire expansion, and each province’s appearance changes according to which god owns it.

Supply lines determine the size of your army, so provinces can lead to uneven battles. Skirmishes can reduce a province’s supply, defence or difficulty; these are based on thousands of mid-game, high-level chess games. Magic can also alter the map by raising mountains, burning forests and more.

Chess battles

Each province you take requires a chess battle, with difficulty levels ranging from complete beginner to GM and adjustable to suit you. The strategy map offers Standard Chess, Chess 960 and uneven chess games. Each board tile represents a distinct location with bonuses that can help in arbitrated battles, and overlays can display the map as a more conventional chessboard.

Arbitrated battles

When chess pieces collide, the defending god can intervene with an arbitration, starting a simple RPG-style battle. Each type of chess piece has its own health, bonuses and arbitration cost. Health does not recover after a battle, so several smaller pieces can work together to defeat a larger one.

You can spend strategic resources on spells, insights and constructions to turn the tide. Resources gained on the strategic map must be conserved, since not every chess encounter can be arbitrated. With enough mana, iron and worship, even a pawn can turn back a queen.
