Frontlaners is a single-player simplified RTS, born from a mix of frustration with the genre's growing complexity and mechanical difficulty ceiling, and a desire to watch armies fight eachother without the 10 minute buildup of a traditional RTS.

The game follows a tug-of-war style of combat, with groups of units fighting in lanes to reach and attack the opponent's castle. concepts like worker harassment, scouting, unit micro and tech trees have been removed; you have workers that gather resources, and you use those resources to either build units, or upgrade a population count to build more Army/Economic units.

Abilities (charged as the player gathers income, loses friendly units, and kills enemy units) allow the player to effect the battle in different ways, such as a health boost to units, a shield to block incoming attacks, or the ability to steal resources from an opponent.

Beating levels unlocks the opponents units and ability to use in future battles, play around with different combinations to find fun, efficient, or downright broken strategies.
