About the Game

Pillar of War is a fast-paced, real-time strategy game inspired by chess—where every piece fights, moves, and reacts instantly.[\/p]

Command Human or Scaleborn armies in a live battlefield where positioning, timing, and precision decide the outcome. There are no turns—only action.[\/p]

Coordinate attacks, outmaneuver your opponent, and capitalize on every mistake in intense, skill-based matches that typically last just 1–2 minutes. Each unit can withstand multiple hits, turning every encounter into a test of timing, positioning, and control. Activate your Pillar of War to launch into assault mode at the start of battle, then deploy speed or shield buffs at the right moment to turn the tide.[\/p]
