The world

Everything you need. Everything you lost.

Forests, farms, whole towns: a runaway swarm of tiny machines is turning them into fields of blue crystal. The survivors call it the Glass.

That crystal can be made into almost anything, from food and medicine to tanks. Everyone needs it. Armies fight over the fields while the swarm keeps spreading.

At the edge of the remaining settlements, the harvesters are already waiting.

A man shelters behind a stone wall as a harvesting machine moves through crystal growing among village houses.

Gameplay

Build. Expand. Outmanoeuvre.

  1. 01Build your war machine. Send out harvesters, keep your base powered and turn crystal into an army. Protect your supply lines to keep reinforcements coming.
  2. 02Fight for the next field. Resources near home will only take you so far. Establish new bases and contest fresh deposits before your opponent claims them.
  3. 03Make the terrain count. Hold the high ground, defend narrow approaches and find a way around enemy lines. Bring infantry, armour and aircraft together to break through.

Factions

Three armies. One precious resource.

The survivors

The Verge Compact

Frontier communities fighting to keep their homes.

Salvaged tanks, improvised weapons and crews who keep them running. The Compact wants to destroy the spreading crystal, but depends on each harvest to keep fighting.

The corporation

Veyholt Recovery Division

The company that created the swarm has come to collect.

Veyholt claims every crystal field as company property. Towering harvesters and advanced weapons enforce that claim. It promises to put the world back together.

The military

UNTIDE

An international force holding back the disaster.

With heavy armour and air support, UNTIDE defends the barrier protecting the cities that remain. Keeping those cities supplied means sending troops beyond it to secure more crystal.
