What is open front?

open front is a real-time strategy .io-style browser game focused on map conquest, economic growth, and tactical expansion.

Every match starts with a small territory. From there, you expand, defend borders, manage workers and troops, and react to human players and bots in real time.

How to win in open front

• Expand smartly: Capture nearby land, but do not overextend your military and leave your borders exposed.
• Grow your economy: Build cities and keep enough workers alive so your empire can keep scaling.
• Control the sea: Ports, warships, and trade routes create pressure far beyond your borders.
• Use diplomacy: Alliances can protect you, but betrayal and timing often decide the match.
• Reach 72%: The main victory condition is controlling 72% of the map before your rivals do.

Core buildings and weapons

• City: Raises your maximum population and lets your empire support larger armies.
