Major release

Build the battle, then fight it

dWars v0.5.0 · 29 July 2026

A full level editor, a unit you can command directly, and supply lines you can finally see.

New

The level editor is open. Map, loadout, waves, upgrades and unit logic are all yours — place bases and battalions on a real map preview, then play what you built without leaving the screen.
Take direct control of a single unit and fly it into the fight yourself. The camera follows, and it picks its own targets while you read the rest of the line.
Battles now arrive in waves from authored spawn points, so a map's pressure builds instead of landing all at once.
Damage reads at a glance — floating numbers over contact, with battalion and spawn labels drawn straight onto the map.
Command mode draws each battalion as a silhouette with edge blips, so you can read the whole front without hunting for individual units.
Battalion supply routes now draw along the roads that carry them, from supply point to battalion.

Supply holds a steady circle around your positions and extends into territory you've captured, instead of fading unpredictably at the edges.
The camera is down to two unconstrained modes — less fighting the view, more reading the map.
Selected movement roads soften and pulse, so the path a battalion will actually take is obvious before you commit.
Levels reach the field faster, and shaders warm up behind the curtain so the opening seconds no longer stutter.
Battalion hotkey digits take their battalion's own colour — 1, 2, 3 now match what you see on the map.
Brief, reward, win and loss screens carry a new halftone treatment, so the story pages belong to the same world as the battlefield.

Units that wandered off-road no longer strand themselves — they escape, repair their path, and rejoin the battalion.
Units no longer push through buildings; obstacle collision is enforced after every move rather than before it.
The Map Setup preview no longer places bases and battalions upside-down.
CID battalions no longer order moves to positions outside the map edge.
The player-controlled unit reliably fires instead of holding its shot.

You can draw the map now. It still won't fight for you. — Elle
