Hours, not seconds
The clock never stops, but nothing here is quick. An army might march for a day before it reaches the walls. You give orders over coffee, adjust them at lunch and find out at midnight whether you guessed right.
Patience is a weapon
If you’ve played Neptune’s Pride or Subterfuge, you know the feeling: a match that lasts weeks, alliances made in private messages, and the slow dread of watching an attack you can’t stop crawl toward you.
No two domes alike
Every arena is a freshly generated hex world of ridges, forests and cold lakes. Found cities where the land can feed them, run caravans between them and learn the ground before someone uses it against you.

The setting
You were a general once, on a world that doesn’t exist anymore. Something pulled you off that last field, stitched you together and set you down inside a dome with a dozen others like you: sword-bearers, star-pilots, things with too many hands. You fight. Somebody watches. When it’s over, you wake up and do it again.
Questions
- What kind of game is this?
- A slow real-time strategy game, sometimes called a slow RTS or async strategy game. The clock never pauses, but things move in hours instead of seconds, so a match runs for days or weeks and you play it a few minutes at a time.
- Is it like Neptune’s Pride or Subterfuge?
- It comes from the same tradition: long matches, real-time travel, and a lot of talking to the other players. AshDomes adds city building, supply caravans and a hex map that is different every match.
- When can I play?
- It’s in development. Leave your email and we’ll write when the closed alpha opens.
- What will it run on?
- Web browsers first, with iOS and Android to follow. Your account and matches carry across devices.
