Game concept
Strategy Combat, as the name already suggests, is one of the most traditional interpretations of a game revolving around large scale battles, base building and overall strategic combat. In this game you’re the commander of a small armored task force that just took over a well-fortified camp with a heavy industry sector. A perfect score for an aspiring field marshal and also the foundation for your upcoming endeavors. Expand your base and your production, raise an army and take the fight to your rivals in Strategy Combat.
Fortify and expand your base of operation
Starting out in Strategy Combat you are still far away from being a famous warlord. With just a few tanks, possibly leftover models from the great war, you are set on winning your first battles. A compelling tutorial introduces you to the core mechanics of the game, like taking over bases, expanding them and producing units. Not long after you are sitting in your own little hideout, have the steel, oil and concrete factories running and get to plan your next steps towards victory.
Build vehicles from the great war and the modern age
One of the things that Strategy Combat really nailed down is the depiction of the historic tanks and vehicles. Initially you have to make do with things like the Ehrhardt E-V/4 and its “Ballonabwehrkanone”, an upward facing artillery piece on a lightly armored car. Mostly used to take down espionage balloons during the great war. As you progress down the tech tree you get access to numerous other vehicles, ranging from the very old ones from the beginning of the 20th century, up to the WWII era vehicle and even some modern types in the late game. All of them come with specific purposes like artillery pieces which are great at taking out base defenses or the aforementioned Erhardt E-V/4 which is…well, isn’t that great. But you get the idea!
Measure your strength with others
So now that you have a somewhat sizeable army, what do you do with it? Well, how about visiting your neighbors? First off though: The world in Strategy Combat is massive and you are far from alone in this world. You will have people living very close by and since at some point you can have quite a few bases it can become very profitable to raid your competitors. To avoid that happening to you though, we highly recommend investing into defenses and alike because as you can imagine its way funnier to win a battle then it is to lose a battle.
