About Craft and Battle
This is a tactical war game with a base and an economy under the fighting. You take ground, claim resource tiles, and spend what you gather on new units. The aim is to outlast and overwhelm the enemy army, with the enemy general as the prize target since taking them out weakens everything they have left.
Steering your army
You only move; the rest is automatic.
| Action | How |
|---|---|
| Move | WASD or arrow keys |
| Direct a push | Drag with the left mouse button |
| Gather and fight | Handled automatically |
Resources, units, and prisoners
The spending choices are the heart of it. Resources come off map tiles and go into recruiting specialized units or strengthening your base. Enemies you capture become prisoners you can trade for assets.
| Element | Role |
|---|---|
| Resources | Fuel for units and upgrades |
| Specialized units | Recruited for specific battle roles |
| Prisoners | Traded for valuable assets |
| Enemy general | Capture to weaken the enemy force |
Different maps, different plans
Each map shifts where resources sit and how the enemy comes at you. Tight maps reward holding a small patch and building up, while open ones reward spreading early to grab more tiles. Look at the layout before you commit your army.
Tips to come out ahead
A few habits that help:
- Grab resource tiles fast so your economy outpaces the enemy.
- Pull back hurt units instead of trading them away for nothing.
- Trade prisoners while the assets are useful.
- Go for the general only when the raid is worth the units you risk.
