About the Factions: ** Earth: Earth Coalition of Nations (E-CON) ** The last of human society on Earth after the Insectron Horde separated Earth from its colonies and devastated the population on Earth. The last bastion of hope for Earth, E-CON operates out of vast militarised caverns and tries it's utmost to find a way to wrestle control of Earth back from the Insectron invaders. ** Aliens: Insectron ** The basis for all Insectron 'life' are two substances believed to be based on highly advanced nanomachines. The first substance, labelled 'Xenoaqua', is a quicksilver like substance which hardens to create Insectron structures and armour. It is highly adaptable and will self-repair by absorbing more liquid Xenoaqua. The second substance is 'Xenophy', a purple liquid, said to have the consistency of thick syrup. Xenophy is thought to be the 'brains' inside the Insectron machines and the most vulnerable to damage. It is unknown if the Insectron think with a' hivemind' or if they feel individuality, but both there is evidence to support both claims. The Insectrons follow a pack mentality to the point they seem to share their perceptions on the battlefield almost instantaneously, they also display fear and self-survival when in danger. ** Martians: The Holy Gravidus Republic (HGR) ** Humans first settled on Mars midway into the 22nd century. Isolated for hundreds of years, the Colony on Mars grew into a religious order. While Earth burned for decades, the Insectron horde sent a much smaller force to occupy Mars; and while the Martians and Insectrons clashed, the Martian people were left relatively unhindered in their progress. Waiting for the perfect moment, the HTR have unleashed the full potential of their technology, wiping aside the Insectron occupation force. They now have their eyes set upon Earth, to reap revenge.

Fight the Battle of Gettysburg as the Army of Northern Virginia under the command of Robert E. Lee, or as the Army of the Potomac under the command of George G. Meade. Set across one of the most studied engagements in American history, it challenges you to manage position, timing, supply, morale, and command under pressure as the battle unfolds across iconic terrain. Gettysburg features a deterministic tactical AI layer built around scripted heuristics, behavior-based decision logic, and state-driven unit control. Units evaluate battlefield conditions, command relationships, morale, formation, movement, and combat contact to make tactical decisions within a reproducible historical simulation.
