Bos Wars is a futuristic real-time strategy (RTS) game. In an RTS game, the player must fight their enemies while developing their war economy. The trick is to balance the effort put into building your economy and creating an army to defend and attack your enemies.
You can play against human opponents over a LAN, over the Internet, or against the computer.
Bos Wars has a dynamic economy based on tempo. Energy is generated by power plants, and magma is pumped out of hot spots. Buildings and mobile units are also built at a constant rate. Controlling large parts of the map creates the potential to increase the capacity of your economy. Holding key points such as roads and passages allows for a variety of strategies.
