Cities make a border worth holding
Where you grow matters because it decides what you can defend and what you are about to lose.
Live online war game
Take ground. Build pressure. Hit before they do.
Borderhold is an indie strategy game about ugly borders, sea pressure, and the moment a match turns from setup into damage.
Desktop only 
Land, fleets, and supply lines 
Fast trip from setup to violence 
Ports turn distance into pressure
Coasts matter when ships, trade, and invasions start making the same part of the map expensive.
Hesitate and somebody will hit you
Once two players touch the same front, the match stops being theory and starts being damage.
What a match looks like
One board. A lot of ways to get punished.
Expand too hard and your line hollows out. Sit still too long and the map leaves you behind. The good part is that you can usually see the mistake forming before it hits.
The map should tell you when things are going bad
You should be able to glance at the board and see the pileup: fleets, borders, and one ugly detonation.
Sea fights should stay readable
Ships, invasions, and supply lines need to stay clear even when the coast turns into a mess.
The quiet parts still matter
A border is not filler. It is the setup for the next bad decision, the next land grab, or the next war.
How it plays
Mouse controls. Very little mystery.
- Mouse wheel: zoom in and out.
- Left-drag: pan the map. Left-click: select your warship or attack another territory.
- Right-click a tile: open the action menu for building, bombs, alliances, and ships.
- Left-click your warship, then right-click: send it to a destination.
What matters
Growth is good right up until it gets you killed.
Frontiers
Take land, hold the line, and make the other player pay for every tile.
Escalation
The match gets nastier as stockpiles grow and long-range pressure comes online.
Economy
You can only keep expanding if the money behind it survives the war you started.
