About this gameFull description from Steam
Relive history! This is the only game out there with an unlimited number of missions you can play — there are thousands of them, many created by committed players! Play or create your own missions in World War 2 and all the way through the Cold War. Learn to master the skill of the commander and conquer every enemy! Wargame & Turn-based Simulation From the Battle of Stalingrad to the Normandy landings, it’s got the vast majority of WW2 covered. Play as Germany, the Soviet Union, Republic of China, United States, Great Britain, or any of the 100+ countries with additional customization possible. Attack enemy strongholds and defend your cities with 20+ land, naval, and air units. Even the same unit has special functionalities differing by country! Campaigns & Conquests There are currently about 30 or so missions and conquest maps. The missions can be played through the story line, and the conquests (you get to choose your country) feature 1939-1950 Europe and 1937-1950 Asia. All the campaign maps can be downloaded and modified at your own will, as seen in the following section... Sandbox & Custom Maps Like I said, you can create your own maps; you can even upload them for the world to see! The map editor is readily available for use inside the base game. Every aspect of a mission is customizable: a country’s alliance, resources, cities, airports, troops, veterency, troop attack distance, winning conditions, and even which troops have generals can be customized. Simulated Politics From custom events to war declarations, this recent addition allows dynamic games of multiple alliances and betrayals; custom events can also be made to reflect historical events with different types of consequences (changes to resources, alliances, unit experience). Aid can also be given to allies like Lend Lease in the real WW2. Historical Generals Hundreds of generals — with more coming by each update — from various countries around the world. Generals are not tied to specific units; they can be sacked from a unit on the spot and be replaced at any time. Mobile Crossplay Yes, this is also a mobile game. But it's a lot nicer to edit maps on the PC client, and there are no advertisements or micro-transactions here — you will be given $5 worth of coins upfront. You can also crossplay with mobile users in the multiplayer system and paste your user progress from your mobile apps. About Me I’m an indie student developer, so this app is very flexible in terms of update content. Please feel free to contact me if you want to make suggestions or collaborate to make the game better. Game Engine: Unity (C# + Python)
