The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access is employed in order for our community to influence the development process before it's too late and changes cannot be implemented anymore. Feedback from the players is essential to optimize game mechanics, balance the game, improve performance, AI behavior, language localization, editors, and even overall game stability.

At this moment we already have a full playable core of the game, but there is still work that needs to be done. We will continue implementing new features, optimizing existing mechanics, adding more content, and working on other aspects of the game development process.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“As things stand, we are looking at around 3 to 12 months until the game leaves Early Access. The time period can be modified based on community input and testing results.. ”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We are planning on adding more content and gameplay features while improving the existing systems and mechanics by further optimizing the game, fixing any issues, introducing balance changes, improving AI behavior, introducing language support, enhancing the editor, creating new maps, among others.

We also aim at further improving our game by making use of the feedback from the community during the process of developing the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access build already contains the basic game mechanics, scenarios that can be played, country systems, a map editor, multiplayer options, and a number of game mechanics.

It is expected that during the Early Access period, balancing, optimizations, fixes for bugs and errors, and other new contents will be added regularly.

More details about the game content and its current state may be found in the “About This Game” tab.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We can steadily increase the price based on the amount of new content, features, improvements, and updates we add while developing the game during Early Access phase”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community input is very important for the development of the game. Bug reports, improvement suggestions, gameplay feedback, map creations, and ideas can be discussed via the official community forums and the Discord server.

This feedback will definitely shape our balancing, gameplay development, future additions to the game, and development priorities during the entire Early Access period.”

About This Game

Set the stage. Start the conflict. Watch the world change.

Modern Wars is a geopolitical sandbox where you set up conflicts between AI controlled nations and watch them unfold across a detailed world map. Choose the countries, shape the rules, and follow the fighting or open the editor and build a world of your own.

CREATE YOUR OWN CONFLICTS

Choose nations for each side, bring in allies, and set war goals. Adjust force density and battle rules to explore different matchups, from a clash between neighbors to a wider conflict. Experiment with capital capture surrender, missile settings, and more.

WATCH THE FRONT LINES SHIFT

Follow AI controlled forces as battles develop across borders. Zoom in on the front, track casualties, and check combat reports to see how each side is holding up. Pause the action or change the simulation speed to watch events at your own pace.

RESHAPE THE WORLD

Use God Mode to create nations and cities, paint territory, flood fill regions, and change terrain. Redraw borders for your next scenario, then save your map preset and return to it later.

EXPLORE THE MAP YOUR WAY

Switch between simple political, terrain, and nighttime map views. Toggle country labels, borders, cities, and provinces to focus on the details you want to see from a regional confrontation to the wider world.
