TANKS, drawn in the margins
A free real-time strategy game that puts ore harvesters, power grids, tank factories, and twelve missions in a browser tab.
Field notes
The game models a classic RTS economy in miniature: harvesters mine ore, refineries generate credits, and power plants keep production, defences, and radar operating. Its AI is described as maintaining two harvesters, expanding, rebuilding destroyed structures, and raiding while the player is distracted. The campaign contains twelve hand-built missions with distinct constraints, including one with no construction yard and another split between an exterior sabotage operation and an interior floor-plan sequence.
