Staatio

STAATIO is real-time territory conquest. Drag from a region you own to send troops, take neutral and enemy ground, and grow faster the more you hold.

Play alone against bots that can ally with you — or invite friends from your Steam friends list and they join, even mid-match.

How to Play

• Drag from a region you own to send troops

• Capture neutral and enemy regions by outnumbering their defenders

• Hold more ground to generate troops faster

• Ally with a neighbour — and break it off when it suits you

Four Modes

• Classic — last player standing, or most territory when the clock runs out

• King of the Hill — take the crown region and hold it for 60 seconds

• Domination — hold the most territory for 30 seconds straight

• Rush — troops move three times as fast

Change the Rules

• Frontlines — troops may only reach a bordering region. Chokepoints, defensible borders, and territory with a shape worth holding.

• Special fields — fortresses that halve incoming troops, factories that outgrow everything around them, portal pairs that link two ends of the map.

• Revolts — eliminated players come back by seizing the biggest idle garrison on the board. Sitting on your troops is no longer safe.

They are toggles, not modes: combine them with all four.

Play With People You Know

Every match runs on a player's own machine. There is no official server, so there is nothing to shut down.

• Host from the app — the game carries its own server. Start a match, invite friends through Steam, and they connect through Steam's relay. Nobody types an IP address or opens a port.

• LAN parties — games on the same network find each other. Works fully offline.

• Drop in — friends can join a match that is already running, or watch it.

There is no public matchmaking: you play with the people you invite, the people on your network, or the bots.
