Our take on Waronoi
The defining mechanic is strategic zoom: large formations and individual squads or vehicles can be commanded on the same map at the same time.
What is Waronoi?
Waronoi is a real-time strategy game about modern military combat, covering large engagements and smaller skirmishes on the same map.
A strategic zoom lets players give orders to large formations from farther out, then focus on individual squads and vehicles. Units are arranged in a hierarchy of superior and subordinate forces, and that command structure is central to directing troops and disrupting the opposing army. Matches support up to 8 players or bots, with flexible team configurations. Maps are procedurally generated, and a terrain editor lets players create battlefields. Replays can be saved and watched again. The game also includes a command-tree mechanic for managing large armies.
