Tidewater Command

A real-time strategy skirmish. Build a base, work the sea, crush the red army.

  • Shift-click a train button to queue five at once.
  • F2 opens the unit activity log — every order and every decision, with the walking path drawn on the map.

Touch controls

  • Drag anywhere on the map to scroll. Pinch to zoom.
  • Tap one of your units or buildings to select it. Double-tap a unit to grab every one of that type on screen.

  • on the panel hides it when you want to see more of the map.

Hotkeys

  • With villagers selected — E House, F Farm, R Storehouse, B Barracks, K Dock, O Tower, M Market, C Town Centre. Hold Shift while placing to keep building.
  • With a building selected — V Villager, X Soldier, C Archer, N Knight, F Fishing Boat, G War Galley.

How to win

  • Villagers gather wood from trees, gold from ore, and food from berries, farms and shallow-water fish.
  • Build a Dock, then Fishing Boats — deep-sea fish are the richest food on the map.
  • Houses raise your population cap. Barracks train soldiers.
  • Advance through the Feudal and Castle ages at the Town Centre: each one gathers faster and unlocks towers, walls, knights and catapults.
  • Units gain experience when enemies die near them and rise through five ranks — Recruit to Legend — hitting harder, taking less damage and healing faster. Gold chevrons above a unit show its rank. Wounded units heal themselves out of combat, so pull veterans back rather than losing them.
  • Destroy every enemy building to win. Lose everything and you lose.

Tips

  • Keep villagers working — the Idle counter in the top bar finds them.
  • Towers shoot. Put them where the enemy walks in.
  • Repair damaged buildings with villagers (target them with a villager selected).
  • The build cursor stays armed: place as many Houses as you like in a row, then finish when you are done. Villagers build them in order.
  • Drag while placing a Wall to lay a whole line at once.
  • Catapults do triple damage to buildings — bring them to crack a tower line.
