About This Game

Stay in Your Lane is a side-scrolling tug-of-war RTS in the spirit of Age of War and Swords & Soldiers.
Opposing armies march toward each other, and the side that breaks through destroys the enemy base.

Your army marches and fights on its own. Every other decision is yours: how much gold to mine, what to research, which buildings to upgrade, which units to send, and when to cast a spell.

Play the story campaign, solve challenges, or fight other players in 1v1 and 2v2 battles.

Every faction has its own units, spells and play style.

Each one brings its own miners, army, tech tree, turret and base upgrades, so switching faction changes how the whole match plays.

Some factions rely on a few tough, expensive units, others on cheaper units you can send in bigger numbers. The pictures show only a few of the units in each faction, and more factions are on the way.

Every unit has an ability that awakens once you have summoned it enough times.

Each unit type counts its own summons, so you decide what awakens first. Keep sending one unit to unlock its ability early, or spread your gold and awaken several later.

Gold pays for everything, so it all starts with your miners.

Gold Diggers and Busy Bees carry gold back to your base. Every miner you add brings in more, but each one costs more than the last, so decide how much to keep for the army. Upgrade the gold mine and every trip brings back more gold.

Spend your gold in the tech tree to research new units and spells.

Every match starts with only your miners, so the order you research in is your plan: rush a cheap early unit, or save up for a heavy hitter. Every unit has its own cost, health, damage, speed and range.

When an enemy push breaks through, your base can still fight back.

Arm the landmines next to your base to blow up a push before it reaches your door. Each mine is armed on its own, and every time you rearm one it costs more and takes longer to be ready again, so use them when it counts.

Build the turret to shoot enemies near your base, and upgrade it to make it stronger. If it gets destroyed, you can rebuild it after a cooldown, and it keeps its level.

Upgrade your base for boosts that help your whole army, like faster mana and room for a bigger army.

Every unit you send joins the march. You decide what to send, and when.

Queue your units to shape the army: tough units in front to take the hits, ranged units behind to shoot over them. When the two armies meet, the front line moves with every unit that falls.

Back your army up with spells. Taunt the enemy with a Scapegoat, rain cats and dogs on a crowd, root a group in place, or turn an enemy into a frog.
