- Release 40 - Locomotive - 27 April 2025
Commanders, We're excited to announce that Release 40 is now live! This has been the hardest development cycle in Line War's history. What we initially thought would take about one month ended up stretching to over four months. Building this new system turned out to be much more complex than we first imagined — but we stayed with it, and today, we're proud to finally put it in your hands: Release 40 brings a major new layer of strategic depth to Line War: Railroads: Draw rail foundations much like you draw your Path commands. They can span the entire world and make up vital supply and movement corridors. Targetable Railroad Segments: Railroads themselves are now strategic assets — and liabilities — that can be attacked and destroyed. Bridges: Span rivers and waterways with critical rail infrastructure. Train Stations and Trainyards: Establish hubs to launch and coordinate train movement…

- Release 39 - Technologies - 19 December 2024
We're thrilled to welcome you to Release 39 which adds 1) Technologies bringing new depth to strategy and tactics, 2) Super-refitting to repair and heal units in close proximity to producers, and 3) Free-flowing / drip economy that significantly improves how revenue and expenses are continuously calculated. Let's have a closer look! Academy The new Academy building can be constructed next to a town or a city currently allowing you to research up to 11 technologies. Additional technologies will be added in the future. It's also worth mentioning that technologies are optional and you can play Line War exactly like you have before, but if you are ready to level up your mid and end game you now have plenty of options! Technologies Airborne Doctrine transforms your transport jets making them capable to also drop Infantry, Artillery and SAM units in parachutes. Before you research this techno…

FREE-FLOWING/DRIP ECONOMY: All revenue and expense is now calculat…

- Poll results for single-player features - 3 June 2024
Hi everybody, A public Line War poll for both owners and potential buyers of the game was opened on May 18. The poll let you vote on what single-player features should be prioritized in the coming month. The poll has now closed. Here are the results: There was also a poll about advanced AI behaviours that targeted experienced players. I will let the results from these polls guide my efforts short-term. Development in June will focus on the following features Multiple AIs in the same match Observable AI vs AI matches AI playing as a teammate AI using the full game play toolset (Rocket, Bomber, Aircraft Carrier, Transport Jet) AI planning coordinated, full-scale amphibious invasions AI employing various strategies to counter infantry spam/general spam on big island maps Also judging in part from the performance of Tutorials or mini-campaigns in the poll, in part from general experience an…
- Vote on more single-player features! - 18 May 2024
What single-player features should be prioritized in the following month? This poll and the subsequent development effort will make an exception from regular development, as the roadmap for the game as a whole is pretty well figured out already. The idea is to make the single-player offer (that was released on May 5) feel more complete, before moving on to the very serious, long-term endevours. A public Discord survey was made to figure out which items should be votable in the poll. VOTE NOW Anyone can participate! Looking forward to your input. Best Basantos
- Participation in Steam Endless Replayability Fest - now with AI! - 13 May 2024
Looking for games endlessly replayable!? You've come to the right place. Line War is a very different type of multi-genre RTS. It uses a command-oriented system to control units, that puts higher emphasis on strategic intent and reduces the need for micro-management. The game is a natural choice for Steam's Endless Replayability Fest as it includes many elements that enables endless replay: Infinite Exploration: Explore an endless array of procedurally generated maps, each waiting to be conquered. Change to another randomized seed with the click of a button: A new map with an entirely different composition and distribution of water, land and special sites is created! Save & recall your favourite seed using just this magic number. Dynamic Starting Locations: Strategize and stake your land claims in the innovative Picking Phase. It's an interesting game-within-a-game where 'Zones of Inter…
