Atre: Dominance Wars
We’ve partnered with Ironward to help bring modding tools to Atre: Dominance Wars - a new RTS/4X title built for those who crave strategy, sorcery, and world-altering power.
Atre blends real-time tactics and turn-based mastery with a lore-rich, godlike ascent through arcane domination. Become an Elder, a master Sorcerer. Build an empire, manipulate alliances, or destroy the world itself - the choice (and chaos) is yours.
Modding is a key part of the future of this game, and we’re working together to make it happen. You can now support that journey by checking out the campaign and demo here:
