About War Selection
War Selection is a pseudo‑historical real‑time strategy where dozens of players start in the Stone Age on a random map. Each player selects a culture and then a specific country, unlocking unique buildings, units and mechanics as they progress through seven eras toward heavy tanks, artillery and airships.
The game provides over 200 building types and more than 300 unit types across land, air and naval branches. Free content includes several online modes and a Sandbox for unrestricted testing, while an in‑game store offers twelve additional countries and three special modes for purchase.
01 / THE GUIDE
Historical Eras
Players advance through seven distinct eras, each adding new technology, units and buildings. The final era introduces heavy tanks, long‑range artillery and combat airships, expanding the range of military options available.
All seven eras and eight cultures are available from the start at no cost, allowing any match to span the full timeline without additional purchases.
- Track how unit armor and firepower change between eras to plan smooth transitions.
- Compare early‑era mobility with late‑era firepower when designing mixed forces.

Culture and Country Choice
At match start you choose a culture, then a specific country. This selection determines the set of buildings, units and mechanics you can employ during the game.
Eight cultures are free, while twelve additional countries with exclusive units, buildings and mechanics are sold in the in‑game store.
- Experiment with different cultures in Sandbox to see which fits your strategic preferences.
- Review the exclusive units of purchased countries before committing to a purchase.
