Warium

Warium is a turn-based strategy game about expanding an empire across a procedurally generated world. You start in a village, capture cells with your units, develop your economy and build defenses. To win, you must destroy all enemy states.

The world

The map is made of hexagonal cells and divided into biomes with different landscapes, fertility and starting population densities. Worlds consist of islands linked by teleports, and each map is generated by chance. A small field can have up to 30 states, while a large world can have up to 900.

As you explore, you can seek tactically advantageous terrain and fertile cells. If a state's territory is split off from its capital and no longer connected to it, the separated territory gains its own capital and treasury.

Expand your empire

A unit captures a cell by standing on it. Capturing enemy cells earns units experience, which you can use to improve them. Units have a force parameter rather than health: a stronger unit can destroy a weaker one, so numerous but weak armies can be vulnerable to stronger forces.

You can recruit and upgrade units, build economic and defensive structures, and choose how to expand your power. Units have several upgrade branches. The available types include swordsmen, lancers, cavalry and long-range units; spearmen are effective against cavalry but weak against swordsmen and long-range units.

Game modes

The game is a sandbox, and you choose a faction before setting out to build your empire.
