From the Steam store

From your first food supplies to your very own spaceport—Strategy Core is an isometric real-time strategy game in which you lead the Wolf Clan to build a thriving settlement. You begin with just five inhabitants and empty storehouses.

Ahead lies the exploration of uncharted lands, the development of your economy, clashes with enemies, and a journey spanning seven distinct eras. Build an economy resilient enough to withstand attacks. Assign tasks to your settlers, gather wood, stone, and gold, cultivate crops, and exploit natural deposits. Expand your storage facilities and housing, upgrade your structures, and unlock new technologies.

Every decision demands resources: should you invest in further development, or prepare your defenses for the next looming threat? Protect your clan—wild beasts and raiders will not make it easy to build your future.

Train warriors, spearmen, and archers; construct towers; organize patrols; and command your units. Pay close attention to the placement of your buildings, as obstacles can obstruct lines of fire. Decide the nature of your relationships with your neighbors—other clans are also developing their own settlements. Engage in trade, sign non-aggression pacts and alliances, or wage war. While diplomacy can secure vital resources, the safety of your settlement remains your responsibility.

Advance all the way to the Space Age. Expand your production, research advanced technologies, and power your settlement with electricity. Construct a command center and a spaceport, prepare a colony ship, and open a path to a new world for your clan. Even after achieving victory, you can continue to develop your settlement.

Key Features: - Seven eras of development—from basic subsistence to energy production and space exploration. - Procedurally generated maps and a "fog of war"—explore the territory and seek out essential resources. - An economy based on worker allocation — resource gathering, farming, mining, construction, and stockpiling. - Real-time defense — diverse warrior specializations, defensive towers, patrols, and waves of incoming attacks.

Evolving neighboring clans — engage in trade, forge agreements, form alliances, or wage war. - Autonomous behavior among inhabitants — workers seek shelter from danger, while warriors recover health when not in combat.

An energy system influenced by the time of day — generators require fuel, and solar power plants depend on daylight. - An isometric world featuring stylized, volumetric graphics.
