Warnament is a turn-based grand strategy designed together with the community to combine simplicity, depth, and a high level of customization. You can play as theocratic France during lunch and attack Berlin playing as communist Luxembourg by dinner. Or create your own scenario featuring alternative history or something completely unrelated to the real world whatsoever. Influence and manipulate - Declare wars and sign peace treaties, make pacts and alliances - Guarantee the independence of your allies, force someone into vassalage, or simply insult your opponents (as seen on TV) - Get rich by trading with the big shots of global politics or choke your opponents with economic sanctions - Drag your allies into international conflicts: the more, the deadlier! Crush and rule - Wipe out your enemies with a deadly array of military forces—from infantry to nuclear bombs - Rule the seven seas with cruisers, battleships, and aircraft carriers - Protect your land with fortresses and other defensive infrastructure - Despise the laws of warfare using a chemical or nuclear weapon Expand and thrive - Progress through the technology tree to discover a wide variety of buildings and structures - Choose one of half a dozen political regimes, and make political decisions that might change the course of history - Control each province of your country independently to ensure an economic and scientific breakthrough Website: https://warnament.com Discord: https://discord.gg/WwfsH8mnuz X: https://x.com/WarnamentGame
