Outsmart the AI. Conquer the board. Dominate the Hex Territory. Hex Territory is a fast, turn-based strategy game where every move expands your influence—or hands the advantage to the enemy. Face off against a smart Robot Army AI as you fight for control of a hex-based battlefield. You command the blue units. The AI controls red. On your turn, choose one of your units and decide how to expand: • Duplicate into an adjacent tile to grow your army. • Move to a farther tile to reposition and outmaneuver the enemy. Whenever you move or duplicate into an empty hex, all surrounding enemy units flip to your side, instantly shifting the momentum of the match. The battle ends when neither side has any moves left. The winner? Whoever controls the most territory on the board. Simple rules. Quick turns. Deep strategy. Can you outthink the machines and claim every hex?

Hexhold is a turn-based strategy game about land. Claim hexes, grow your gold, raise an army, and take your rivals' Capitals before they take yours. Every battle is clear and fair. There are no dice in combat: the stronger unit wins, and the game shows you why a move is blocked. Simple to learn, hard to master. THE CAMPAIGN Sail out from the peaceful Green Isles to face the five lords who claim the crown of the known world: the Sultan of Sunscorch, the Frost Jarl, the Highland Thane, the Wildwood Queen and the Ember Tyrant. - 50 hand-made levels across six lands, from burning dunes to frozen fjords and volcanic fields - A story told in voiced scenes with painted portraits of every lord - Choose to rule as King or Queen, and win your way to a coronation - Earn up to 3 stars per level, 150 in all, for winning fast - Replay every story scene you have seen in the Chronicle RIVALS WHO FIGHT BACK Five AI levels, from Easy to Merciless. The toughest rivals go for your Capital, cut your lands apart, build Colossi and Commanders, and plan winning moves. On late levels a rival may even move first. TREASURE On some campaign levels, and in about a third of skirmish and daily games, a treasure chest appears in the middle of the fight. The first unit to reach it wins 20 Gold. Race for it, or make your rival pay for trying. SIX LIVING LANDS Every land has its own look, wildlife, weather and sounds: Green Isles, Sunscorch, Frostreach, Highlands, Wildwood and Emberlands.
