How to Play openfront
open front is a real-time strategy game where you go to war with other players in an attempt to expand your territory and protect your people. The game panels are pretty intricate and give you a lot of info to keep track of attacks and alliances. Use these wisely to plan your next moves.

The Event Panel shows everything happening in the game. You’ll see alliance requests, incoming attacks, and Quick Chat messages. You can focus on a player sending an alliance request, track incoming attacks, and retreat troops if needed, though this costs 25 percent of your attacking troops. Boats can return to their starting point if the land has changed hands, but nukes cannot be recalled. Quick Chat makes it easy to send preset messages or emojis to allies and opponents.

Alliances are important. You can send or receive troops and gold to help your allies, whether they are under attack or building up their strength. Betraying an ally ends the alliance, pauses trade for a few minutes, and leaves you with weaker defenses. You’ll also be marked as a traitor for 30 seconds, so think carefully before making a move. Bots and human players react differently depending on your actions, so diplomacy matters.

The Radial Menu is your main control hub. Right-click a location to build, attack, send boats, request alliances, or betray an ally. The Options Panel lets you pause or unpause the game, check the timer, access settings, and see detailed information about other players. Hover over a country to see if it’s a human, a smart AI, or a bot, and find out how they feel about you.

The Game UI helps you track your progress. The leaderboard shows top players by land, troops, and gold, while the control panel lets you adjust your attack ratios. Icons tell you who is an ally, a traitor, or has stopped trading, which helps with planning your next move.
