At the start of the game you can spent some time to pick your first zone. If your opponent picked his first zone nearby the zones will cancel out (red lines). Then you pick another starting zone. Pay attention because a countdowntimer may start every moment in which case you have to select the other zones that you want. They should be directly connected to another zone. You can select up to 6 starting zones and that is almost always the best choice. Starting with less zones grants you 200 extra capital, but it is in general best to start with the largest income and the largest starting army.

Welcome to the Line War Wiki
With the exception of the offline sandbox mode where you can play around as much as you want, Line War is currently a PvP multiplayer-only RTS game. This wiki will grow over time and act as the official manual for the game. The developers will contribute with confirmed official information, and the community is welcome to update this Wiki and add content and new sections to help out new as well as experienced players.
Game Start Sequence
Learn more about the process to analyze and Select World the initial Picking Phase that starts off every match.
Units
This section describes the units found in Line War, where they are produced, and their properties such as health, speed, cost, energy consumption, weapons damage, and conquering efficiency. their stealth.
The Stealth column indicates whether a unit has a stealthy profile, i.e. even where the fog-of-war has cleared the unit may remain undetected by the enemy unless they have accumulated enough sight through multiple units or through recon units.
The Recon column indicates whether a unit has increased sight which may clear the fog-of-war and if the unit contributes to the sight so that stealthy units are more easily discovered.
A unit (u) is a measurement of distance in the game. For reference, the world map is approximately 200 units wide and 140 units tall.

Picking Phase
At the start of the game you can spent some time to pick your first zone. If your opponent picked his first zone nearby the zones will cancel out (red lines). Then you pick another starting zone. Pay attention because a countdowntimer may start every moment in which case you have to select the other zones that you want. They should be directly connected to another zone. You can select up to 6 starting zones and that is almost always the best choice. Starting with less zones grants you 200 extra capital, but it is in general best to start with the largest income and the largest starting army. The larger your starting army, the faster you will conquer more zones and gain even more economy later on.
Tips for the picking fase: 1. The first zone you pick should be somewhere in the middle of all income sources, but also close enough to oil, since oil is so much cheaper then solar panels. 2. Be careful about picking zones in the corners of the map, your opponent can put you in lockdown. This is also, why the middle is a strong starting point. 3.
