BattleHex.io

BattleHex.io strips real-time strategy down to its essential tension: you have a few resource-producing buildings, your opponent has a few more, and the next 10 minutes decide who scales faster. The hex grid flattens the map — no awkward corners, no exploitable chokepoints — leaving pure eco vs. military decision-making.

How to play

Start with a base building. Produce units to capture neutral buildings (mines, farms, barracks) across the hex grid. Each captured building adds to your economy or unit production. Defeat your opponent by destroying their core or overwhelming their remaining buildings.

Economy vs army

The classic RTS tension: build too many workers and you have no army when pushed; build too many soldiers and you stall out. Good players read the opponent's early eco and match it — no one survives a 3-minute all-in if the other player turtled economically.

Tips

• Capture neutral buildings before they spawn defenders
• Don't leave your core undefended even for a strong push
• Scout the opponent's build order — it reveals their timing
• In close games, the extra worker matters more than the extra soldier
