Getting Started

Welcome to Unnamed RTS, a browser-based real-time strategy game inspired by classic Command & Conquer.

What is an RTS?

Real-time strategy (RTS) games put you in command of a base and army. Unlike turn-based games, everything happens simultaneously—you build structures, train units, and fight enemies all at once.

Your First Game

  1. Start a Skirmish - Choose your slot (Player 1 is blue), pick AI opponents and difficulty
  2. Build Power Plants - Your Construction Yard needs power to function
  3. Build a Refinery - This comes with a free Harvester that automatically gathers ore
  4. Expand - Build a Barracks for infantry, then a War Factory for tanks
  5. Attack - Select units, right-click on enemies to attack

The UI

AreaPurpose
Main ViewThe battlefield—scroll with arrow keys or edge panning
SidebarBuilding/unit buttons, production queues
MinimapOverview of the map, click to jump to location
CreditsYour money—earned from ore
PowerPower supply vs demand—low power slows production

Game Modes

  • Skirmish - You vs AI opponents (1-7 enemies)
  • Demo - Watch AI players battle each other

Tips for Beginners

  • Economy first - More harvesters = more money = more tanks
  • Scout early - Know where your enemies are
  • Protect harvesters - They're slow and valuable targets
  • Build defenses - Turrets deter early attacks while you build up
  • Use hotkeys - Press 1-5 to change game speed, F3 for debug mode
