Mini Wars

Draw the roads, muster the banners, take the castles. A castle-siege strategy game played in the browser — sixteen realms from Winterhold to Cinder Steppe, twenty-eight troops with an ability each, two hundred battlefield finds to equip them, three difficulties, and a ranked 1v1 ladder.

SIXTEEN REALMS — FOUR OF THEM

Every realm is a different board: where the rivers run, where the forest closes in, how far the roads have to reach before the first castle falls. From the plains you start on to the four far realms below.

Winterhold: two castles across a frozen river, snow on the pines
WinterholdFrozen rivers make new roads. Cold, quiet, and unforgiving of a slow march.
Sunfall Dunes: sandstone castles on golden dunes beside a turquoise inlet
Sunfall DunesOpen sand and long sightlines. Nowhere to hide a column; everywhere to lose one.
Mirefen: plank walkways over a lantern-lit marsh, a goblin cave in the mound
MirefenBoardwalks, bog, and a goblin warren that does not care whose banner you fly.
Cinder Steppe: dark castles on an ash plain with ember cracks and smoke
Cinder SteppeAsh, ember and dead ground. Torches in the ranks, and the war machine running hot.
FOUNDER'S EDITION — LIMITED TO THE FIRST ERA
A blue-bannered castle at dusk, its army marching out along the road

Founder badge

Your name carries the founder mark on every ranked ladder, permanently.

Name in the credits

Founders are written into the game itself. You were here first — it says so.

It retires

The pass is only sold until Game 2 launches. After that, games sell separately — founders got two for one.

I don’t ship features. I ship the game twelve-year-old me swore he’d make someday — one patch at a time, until it sings.
