Stream Wars
Read full descriptionHide full description
Stream Wars is a real-time strategy campaign about supply lines, timing, and the ground you hold. Open a line from your camp to theirs. Every troop that marches is one you don’t keep. A camp busy attacking grows slower — and a rival that catches it mid-push will break it. Defend, reinforce, outflank, or sit and grow until your sword is ready. One shared tempo. No luck rolls. FEATURES • Planning phase: place outposts, then commit • Straight-line supply: attack grey or red, reinforce your own, cut a line when it turns bad • Lookouts that harden into sniper nests and own a quadrant of the board • 25-level campaign across five chapters, each built around one idea • Optional challenges for extra commendations and rank • Random Combat for a fresh board when you want a skirmish • Basic Training if you skipped the handbook • Continue resumes the exact mid-battle snapshot, not a checkpoint Win when no enemy camps remain. Lose when you hold none and can’t place another. Same rules for you and the AI. A one-time purchase removes ads and unlocks more content. The campaign is the game.
