About
Overview
War of Dots is a minimalist real-time strategy game. Command your armies in real-time battles across a variety of maps. Capture cities, manage resources, and defeat your rivals.

Game Details
The key idea in War of Dots is simplicity. Unlike most other strategy games, it doesn’t rely on complex mechanics.
There are only two types of units: light – perfect for fighting in numbers, effective in most terrains, and cheaper to produce; and heavy – slower and less maneuverable, effective only in clear terrain, but with high damage and health, making them ideal for breakthroughs and impenetrable defenses.
The economy is just as simple. Cities produce new units and supply existing ones. Each city supports up to five units; if there are more, the excess units will starve. By capturing cities, you gain an economic advantage over your opponent.
That’s all you need to know! Download the game and prove your place in history alongside legends like Napoleon and Alexander the Great.

Wonderful RTS. The mechanics and troops are simple but it still allows for a high skill ceiling and tricks. The maps are pretty well balanced not counting continent mode. Continent mode is similar to Fox Hole where your victories effect the overall map and who controls which territory. The discord is also similar where there's two sides Red and Blue. You're able to join for the duration of the war. Most of the time it's fun however, sometimes the auto generated map can screw you over where you're unable to win no matter what you do. The community on discord is very welcoming with plenty of tips for newer players on how to get good at the game. Plus this game is free so why not give it a try for a few games. Dont forget to join Red
Outstanding tactical/operational strategy game.

I want more lightweight map games like this, but as it stands now it is just too heavily favored towards defense. I win a little bit over half of the time when I sit on defense and hold a large number of troops in reserve but lose nearly every game where I make the first attack. Maybe it's a skill issue but it feels like games with several competent players turn into a 30+ minute game of who values their time more than winning. Maybe a small amount of ranged units or something to discourage never moving your units would help.
Hola a todos!, Es un juego muy bueno realmente con mecánicas que te hacen pensar, una buena gestión de tropas y simple, el problema radica que siempre que juego solo me toca con gente que simplemente abusa de glíches y cuando juego a el modo de 3p (también el de 4p) me sale el típico jugador con multi cuenta o con un amigo en la misma partida, al igual que abusan de los gliches como si no hubiera un mañana, la ultima partida que tuve simplemente no tuve tregua de ni uno ni de otro, todos sabían que pasaba en el frente del otro. Simplemente no voy a seguir jugando este juego. Espero que siga mejorando y algún día volver a jugar de forma justa. y para los que digan que estoy exagerando, los jugadores que me atacaban desde el principio de la partida ellos movieron sus tropas para atacarme a mi, y al revisar la partida no atacaban al morado y el no los atacaba a ellos (B y O, yo era rojo) y desde el primer momento tras la finalización de la cuenta atrás movieron sus tropas con toda la intención de eliminarme a mi.
güzel yani komutan gibi hissettim kendimi
I'm abso(fuc****)lutely thrilled with this game. Is so rare to see people making games that we're created to be good as a game, that when something this simples yet good appears, bugs people. Literally a passionate person, using ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dots, made a strategy game that works better in the matter of field tactics and strategy, than entire studios. Its almost like a reasonable person could create a balanced set of rules to the thing barely work as should be. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
great game love hating the other color
