Land Doctrine

About

Land Doctrine is a strategy game where you build and manage a military force from the ground up. You design tanks with specific armor and weapons balance production lines and equip infantry units to take and hold territory. Combat plays out through calculated engagements where positioning and unit specialization matter, tanks lose armor protection in tight environments while infantry cover and firepower shift battle outcomes. Research upgrades like engine efficiency or gun accuracy while juggling training regimens to boost combat effectiveness without overextending resources. The game emphasizes deep customization with over 2100 possible tank configurations and 23 infantry weapons to combine. Random maps and terrain-based mechanics create varied challenges while a 99-node tech tree encourages long-term planning. Launched in 2017 it runs on PC with single-player focus. Players who enjoy granular military management and tactical optimization over action-driven gameplay may find its systems rewarding.

Storyline

Land Doctrine is a 3D sandbox strategy game. You can design tanks, manage research, equip infantry, set up infantry training, optimize production and build combined arms battalions to crush your enemies. You have complete freedom to customize your army and you will need both superior designing and logistical skills as well as masterful tactics to outsmart your opponents and triumph on the battlefield. The combat system is based on measuring anti-tank firepower against armor and anti-personnel firepower against infantry cover while the combat distance gradually decreases during the battle. The terrain affects the starting distance of engagement, cover and tank maneuverability. Side, rear or top armor is exposed to enemy fire when tanks are fighting in complex environments, like woods, urban areas or marshland. It is an accurate and clever yet immediate system designed around the idea of optimizing your divisions. Therefore, research is an important part of the game. You can develop new tank engines, suspension, guns and infantry weapons or improve industrial efficiency and training methods. You can design a new tank, set up a production line to produce it and increase the production capacity by capturing enemy cities. Proper training is essential for victory. Inadequate training will cause increased casualties, while good training will generate combat bonuses. The training capacity is also limited: optimize carefully. You can manage infantry equipment at the platoon level. Select small arms and heavy weapons to provide the necessary firepower, then unleash it to see your enemies vanquished!
