War Builder League

War Builder League is a multiplayer strategy game in which you build a Machine from basic components and take it into team battles. You design its movement, armor and weapons to suit your tactics, then work with your team to capture strategic points and defeat the opposing Machines.

Build your Machine

You can combine components as you choose, with caterpillar tracks for difficult terrain and different arrangements of armor and weapons. A building interface, detailed component and Machine statistics, three-axis mirroring, and undo and redo tools support the design process. Your Machine’s combat performance depends on its parts and how they are joined. Before a match, you can test it by having it fight a clone of itself.

Tactical battles

Matches revolve around capturing strategic points that grant team advantages, such as faster repairs for damaged units. Team support and planning matter more than individual skill and hand-eye coordination. Your team can use healing and energy-charging systems, cloak to hide from the enemy, or use a fire booster to deal greater damage in a surprise attack.

Electronic warfare adds ways to interfere with enemy Machines and protect allies. You can hack an enemy Machine, defend allies from hackers, lock targets, jam radar and control your own visibility to hackers.

Physics and damage

The game simulates the mass of Machines and how damage affects their parts. It calculates which components are hit and adjusts the Machine’s condition and behavior accordingly. Losing a radar can leave you unable to tell allies from enemies, while losing a heavy component can shift your center of gravity and change how the Machine moves. A heavier, armored Machine can also knock a lighter one away in a collision. These behaviors are predictable, so you can design and plan around them.

A machine-made future

The battles take place in a dark future where the last people are growing old and dying alone on distant planets, surrounded by Machines and deserted factories. They continue to wage wars through Machine battles, which earn resources, experience and fame and provide a distraction from their fate.
