Compute is the lifeblood of modern warfare
It drives your tech advantage. Lose it and you roll back on the tech tree. Along with rare earth, it's what builds your forces and facilities.

Great Power Competition Frontier WarfareA Call Back to 1990s RTS
Build. Connect. Survive the blackout.
Remember building your first base in a 90s real-time strategy game? Power plant, refinery, harvesters, war factory, then the rush. This one drags that formula into the age of frontier AI. A near-future USA vs China conflict where rare earth is the ore, compute is the power, and whoever keeps command and control alive wins.
Keep command and control alive
Your base and Joint Operations Center link your units over a mesh network. Degraded C2 means delayed orders. No C2 means your units are on their own.
Command and Control in a Contested Environment
Protect your network while you jam, spoof and hack theirs. When C2 degrades, your force stops fighting as a team and drops into individual defensive postures. Keep yours, break theirs.
