A settlement that truly works
Every decision sends ripples.
In Warstead, a building is never just scenery. Residents work inside, carriers deliver resources, tools improve output and every product becomes the next link in your settlement.
Build
Gather timber, stone and metals. Plan space, labour and transport routes.
Explore
Explore procedural worlds, secure territory and discover hidden deposits.
Prevail
Research, trade, train units and defend the heart of your settlement.
Living production chains
Nothing appears from nowhere.
Carriers collect every resource, supply the next workshop and bring finished goods to storage. Short routes and good tools determine your throughput.
Physical logistics · Goods do not teleport. Donkeys double carrying capacity.

The current research tree
Choose your path.
62 research projects: 40 with working effects, 22 with effects still planned. Names, descriptions, costs and prerequisites match the game source as of 11 October 2026.
- Choose 2 of 3 main branches: Military, Trade and Production. The third stays locked.
- Each chosen main branch allows 2 of 3 sub-branches. Completed research determines your choices.
- Technology and Housing stay available independently. Their prerequisites still apply.
- Specialisations sharing a choice are mutually exclusive, including the research that depends on them.
- You need a completed Scholar’s House of your own. One research project runs at a time; each takes 60 in-game seconds.
- The research bonus is capped at 15 % for crafting production and 10 % for food and fish production.

Defend what you have built
Armies need an economy.
Swords, bows and muskets are produced through real supply chains. Only then can the barracks train your troops. Line, column, triangle and block formations bring order to their ranks.
Swordsmen, archers and musketeers are only the beginning – more units and specialisations will follow.

Diplomacy, trade and victory
Friends are valuable. So are coins.
Trading House
All goods trading takes place exclusively in the Trading House. Regular factions require an active trade agreement; neutral peoples do not.
Diplomacy
Peace, war, alliances and separate trade agreements. The selected peace period protects early development.
Four Game Objectives
Domination, prosperity, points or a free sandbox. Losing your own marketplace means defeat.
Expeditions & rare discoveries
What lies beyond the horizon?
Build a shipyard, provision a ship and send out an expedition. Supplies, crew and your decisions determine what makes it home.

Frequently asked questions
Good to know.
What kind of game is Warstead?
An isometric 3D city-building, economy, trade and strategy game with physical goods routes, research, diplomacy and combat.
Can I build anywhere?
No. Buildings require suitable land, controlled territory and a clear footprint. The complete footprint cannot lie in water. Mines require the matching discovered deposit.
How does trading work?
Goods are traded only through your own Trading House. Human and AI factions require an active trade agreement. Gnomes, Kobolds and Moslings always trade while their building exists.
Is there multiplayer?
LAN and Steam lobbies for up to eight factions are prepared. Steam online play still requires the SDK, App ID and final network testing before release.
Has Warstead been released?
Warstead is currently in an early pre-alpha. Content and balancing are continuously being expanded.
