Description

Militarium is a touch-compatible real-time strategy game for Windows 7 and 8. Influenced by the ancient Chinese board game 'Go', gameplay strategy is all about map control and strategic positioning rather than unit match-ups. Instead of using units to attack, players attack by 'flanking' or 'surrounding' the opponent. Similar to Go, players defend against the surround by leaving open spaces in their formations. This means that the strategy is often as much about where you do not build as where you do build. This re-imagining of traditional real-time strategy provides simple yet deeply strategic competition that is natural and fun to play using a touchscreen.
