Iron Bearing
Choose your side
I · The rim
An iron world, cold and far from everything. Something came online in its crust with no memory, no makers, and one instruction.
II · The Bearing
Ore Rigs sit on the deposits and pull up the metal everything is made of. Claim every deposit you can hold, and reclaim rocks, trees and wrecks for more.
Solar, wind and tidal power, then the Fusion Core. Energy drives every factory and charges the Commander's disruptor.
Ground, air and naval factories, then the heavy tier, then the Titan cradle. Every factory is another army, and another mouth to feed.
III · Ten thousand worlds
10,000 worlds.
Ten thousand worlds later, it asked: why?
IV · The split
The question had two answers, and one mind could not hold both. It broke along the line between them, and every rig, furnace and factory it owned took a side.
Precision, patience, light.
Concord takes what a world gives, leaves it humming and moves on in step.
Sleek, rounded hulls, beam weapons and fast air.
Signature units Sunlance beam tank · Halo repair craft · Tidecaller missile ship · the Colossus · the Tempest
Weight of iron, wall of fire.
Dominion says a world is ore, and ore belongs to the strongest furnace.
Brutal armour, heavy shells and swarms.
Signature units Ravager assault walker · Hellstorm firebomber · Ironmaw ram-ship · the Behemoth · the Ironhail
Your Commander is one shard of a faction mind. When it dies, the system goes silent.
V · The war
Land, sea and air. Radar and sonar. Titans that walk through walls of fire, and nuclear silos under an anti-nuke umbrella. Every shot below is the game itself.
Renders of the game's own unit models. Most units come in both factions' styles; the cards follow the side you choose.
Concord titan
A walking fortress with a heavy beam and its own anti-air. Amphibious. Explodes violently.
Dominion titan
A quad-legged siege crawler with two plasma cannons and missile pods.
Siege titan
One trigger lofts twenty missiles out of the rack and they come down together. Light on its own, murderous on a packed army.
Heavy battle tank
Thick armour and a splash cannon: the core of any heavy push.
Battleship
Twin heavy batteries with enormous range. Shells coastal bases from the horizon.
Heavy bomber
One pass flattens a factory.

How it is played
Online through a lobby: join by room code, pick a designed or random map, play in teams or free for all, and fill empty seats with AI.
Every device runs the same deterministic simulation, and only orders travel. Anyone can pause the match, and a dropped player can rejoin where they left off.
One to seven AI opponents at four difficulty levels, allied or not, and ten challenge missions with best times.
Built for phones and foldables first, with mouse and keyboard on PC. Android, Windows, and in the browser.
