Do you enjoy strategy games like this? Would you play a game where dozens of nations fight for control of an entire planet? 🤔🌍
Hello everyone! 👋
I’m currently developing World Frontiers, a turn-based global strategy game for s&box.
The game takes place on a rotating planet divided into thousands of hexagonal regions. Every nation starts with a small territory and must expand, develop its economy, construct infrastructure, command armies and fleets, and compete for control of the world.
⚔️ Main features
- 🌐 A large rotating globe with thousands of hexagonal regions
- 🏳️ Up to 40 AI-controlled nations
- 🗺️ Procedurally generated worlds and an Earth-inspired map
- ⚔️ Turn-based movement, attacks and territorial conquest
- 🧠 AI that expands, attacks, defends and surrounds enemies
- 🏙️ Cities, forts, factories, capitals and ports
- ⚓ Transport ships, fleets and naval invasions
- 🏗️ Five upgrade levels for buildings
- 💰 Economy, treasury, reinforcements and command points
- 💾 Multiple named campaign and simulation saves
- 👁️ A simulation mode where you can watch AI nations fight
- ⏯️ Pause, automatic rounds and multiple simulation speeds
- 🎨 Political and terrain map modes
🎮 How the game works
At the beginning of every round, each nation receives income, reinforcements and command points. These resources can be used to move armies, capture neutral territory, attack enemies, construct buildings, upgrade infrastructure and launch naval operations.
Armies can travel farther through friendly territory, while expansion and attacks have a limited range. Every building provides different economic, military or defensive bonuses, making its placement and upgrades strategically important.
The objective is to destroy every rival nation or gain control of most of the planet. After reaching the domination target, the player can finish the campaign or continue conquering the world. 🏆
🤖 Living world simulation
Every AI nation has its own strategic priorities. Some focus on rapid expansion, while others prefer defence, economic development or aggressive warfare.
AI nations can reinforce borders, consolidate armies, capture empty land, attack weaker opponents, surround important regions, construct buildings, develop ports and launch naval invasions.
The world continues changing even without player involvement, making every campaign and simulation different. 🔥
🚧 Development status
World Frontiers is still in active development. I’m currently improving AI behaviour, performance, world generation, balancing, visual clarity and strategic depth.
The visuals and gameplay shown in screenshots are not final and will continue to improve.
