About Craft and Battle: Build a Base, Command an Army

Craft and Battle drops two sides — Blue and Red — into a head-to-head military conflict where base-building and battlefield tactics decide the outcome. Lead an entire army, construct a base, extract diamonds and stones, hire trained agents, and exchange prisoners for diamonds. The objective is clear: fight the Red army, catch the enemy general to weaken their forces, and push through a variety of maps across different worlds. The game blends real-time strategy with resource management and direct combat, giving every match a mix of planning and action.

How to Play Craft and Battle: Destroy the Enemy Base

The win condition for each level is the destruction of the enemy base. While moving across the map, resource extraction and shooting at enemies both happen automatically — the focus stays on positioning and approach. Flanking around enemy lines and striking from behind is one option; a direct frontal assault is another. Catching the enemy general is a key tactical goal, as doing so weakens the opposing army.
