Click your node, then click a neighbor to send bits. Right-click to fortify, double-click to overcharge.

Command your bit-swarm across hex maps with fog of war! Capture nodes, fortify positions, research tech upgrades, outmaneuver AI personalities across 3 campaign maps, survive endless waves in Siege Warfare, or race the clock in Conquest Blitz mode.

Complex strategy or high dexterity

Tips

  • Fortify nodes near contested borders before expanding — losing a key node cascades.
  • Use fog of war aggressively: send small probes to scout before committing your swarm.
  • Research tech upgrades early; they compound and outscale raw node count by mid-game.

Bit Wars: how to play and how to score

Hex-map node-capture strategy with fog of war, tech research, and three campaign maps.

Command your bit-swarm across hex maps with fog of war! Capture nodes, fortify positions, research tech upgrades, outmaneuver AI personalities across 3 campaign maps, survive endless waves in Siege Warfare, or race the clock in Conquest Blitz mode.

How Bit Wars plays

Bit Wars is a real-time strategy game played on a hex map dotted with nodes. Click a node you own, click a target, and a stream of bits flows toward the target. Reach a neutral node and you capture it; reach an enemy node and you fight for it. Nodes generate bits over time, and capturing more nodes accelerates your generation.

Fog of war hides enemy positions until you've scouted nearby. Tech upgrades unlock from a research tree — more bits per second, faster node generation, fortification options, overcharge attacks. The AI personalities differ in aggression and tech preference, so reading the opponent matters as much as raw decision speed.

Modes and what they reward

Classic plays through three campaign maps with progressive AI. Siege Warfare is endless wave defense — survive as long as you can while the AI keeps respawning waves. Conquest Blitz is a timed sprint: capture the most nodes in the time limit, with no respawn safety net.

Strategy: tech early, fortify smart

Tech compounds. A tech advantage in mid-game outscales raw node count by a wide margin. Players who try to out-expand tech almost always lose to the AI eventually because the AI's tech path catches up while your nodes remain weak.

Fortify nodes that border contested ground, not safe interior nodes. Losing a key border node cascades because your bits now have to flow around it.

Quick tips

  • Fortify nodes near contested borders before expanding — losing a key node cascades.
  • Use fog of war aggressively: send small probes to scout before committing your swarm.
  • Research tech upgrades early; they compound and outscale raw node count by mid-game.
