Hi everyone! Ironfront is a free turn-based strategy game set in an invented 1940s world at war. It plays in your browser, no account and no download.

You lead one nation against 300 AI-controlled countries. To win, hold 2 of the 3 Capital Sectors at once. What makes it different is the battle layer: every tick of a battle is a decision.

• Battle orders. A battle lasts three ticks. Each tick you pick Assault, Barrage or Flank (or Dig in, Counter-attack, Ambush when you defend). Guess the enemy's order right and you get +25% that tick.
• Field works. Dig trenches, lay a minefield or pour a bunker before the enemy lands. Each takes 1 to 3 ticks, a race against the clock.
• Radio intel and feints. Incoming armies show as radio traffic with a size estimate. A scan shows the real size. Your own attack can be a feint that looks three times bigger and turns back before it lands.
• Allies have to be on time. Help that arrives after the battle starts counts half.

All nations, leaders and flags are invented and generated by the game. It is a solo hobby project, free to play, and made with AI assistance, which is disclosed on the game page.

One question for anyone who tries it: did the battle orders feel like a real choice, or like guessing? One sentence in the comments helps a lot.

Hi everyone! I made Terrastate, a free turn-based grand strategy game that plays right in your browser. No account, no download.

You lead one nation in a world of 300 AI-controlled countries. They trade, ally, betray each other and go to war on their own. You build your economy, raise armies, make pacts and try to capture and hold the Nexus before anyone else does.

• Three-phase tactical battles with unit counters, doctrines and logistics
• Diplomacy: blocs, pacts and joint operations
• A six-scenario campaign that teaches the game
• Quick, Standard and Epic game lengths, and you can run the world at 5x or 20x speed

It is a solo hobby project and free to play. The code, graphics and sound were made with AI assistance, which is disclosed on the game page.

I would like to hear where you got stuck or what felt unclear. One sentence in the comments on the game page is plenty. There is also a Roman-era version, Romaterra.

Hi, Dutchie here, played planetarion i the 2004 years with 180.000 players. Was fun and thought why not again why not now. So made a tick based game solo atm. With different battle system en different endgame each round. https://playterrastate.nl no downloads browser only to pay to win. Just fun and would be nice to have people test the game.

A clearer round.
Same world.

Version 1.0 is for Terrastate and Romaterra alike. The rules of a season did not change. What changed is how the game talks to you: what is happening, what to do next, and why. Your saved game keeps working. Open the game in the same browser and carry on.

WHAT GOT BETTERWHAT WORKS DIFFERENTLYWHAT IS NEWROMATERRA

BETTERWhat got better

Home answers one question

Who is in the air, and when do they land? Incoming attacks are red, help from allies is green, your own strikes are blue. Your army sits right underneath, with Recruit, Strike and Defend.

Your start region stays yours

The homeland you pick is the homeland you get, with its economy. No AI nation can slip into your spot while the world is set up.

Built for your phone

A compact top bar with your supplies in one row, four clear buttons on your first evening, wide lists you can swipe sideways, and a map that follows your finger.

Battle reports in one line

Line held, region taken, attack failed: you read it at a glance, with your losses and theirs, and the next move right under it.

A home army in one tap

The defensive line uses militia and infantry you already have, never units you have not unlocked yet. Soldiers still in training count toward your defence.

The map on a laptop

The small overview map now sits top left, so it is always in view, also on smaller laptop screens.

DIFFERENTWhat works differently

Scout before you sail

Another nation's strength stays unknown until a scan lands. A scan costs influence and a command point, and their radar can bounce it. No scan, no forecast.

A landing takes something

Break the garrison and the region is yours, with a cut of what they had stored: five percent, with a cap. A shield or beginner protection still stops both the flag and the loot.

Your National Path waits

You choose your path after you have seen one battle. That choice locks for the whole season, so now you know what you are choosing.

A market that tells the truth

The price you read is the price you pay. Buying into a hot market, or buying in bulk, costs more tax. Covering a real shortage costs less. Your buys and sells show as dots on the chart.

Balance

The strongest late units (Swarm Drones, Ghost Squadrons and Titan Mechs in Terrastate) no longer decide a season on their own. They hit less hard and cost more.

No more frozen boards

Combat and stockpiles refuse broken numbers, so one bad tick can never freeze your game.

NEWWhat is new

A first lesson

In your first ticks a neighbour tests your shield. They cannot take the ground while beginner protection holds, so you get to watch a real attack without losing anything.

Neighbours with a face

The nations around you have a name and a temperament: some raid, some hold, some are rich and thin. They remember a strike.

Regions with a face

Production shows what a place is (a breadbasket, a works, a fortress) and how full it is. A technology says what it unlocks before it mentions a percentage.

A war feed for your alliance

Captures, held lines, incoming fire and successful covert work are written into the alliance feed automatically.

Campaigns and a World Council

Wars grow in stages, from scouting to occupation. Alliances vote on world laws. Landmarks give a region a special reward worth fighting for.

Tips you can close

Every tip card has a close button, and stays closed in your browser until you reset your tips in the settings.

For the live world later: in multiplayer every order is now confirmed by the server before your screen says it worked. Building, cancelling, recalling and retreating really happen in the shared world. Multiplayer opens when enough players ask for it on the Discord.

ROMARomaterra gets all of it

Everything above is also in Romaterra, in Roman dress: legions instead of tanks, denarii instead of euros, and Roma with its Imperial Palace as the prize. In Romaterra the late units that were toned down are the Slinger Swarms, Shadow Exploratores and War Elephants.
