War for Westeros Gameplay: Confirmed RTS Systems

War for Westeros is a classic, premium real-time strategy game. The confirmed loop is to command a Great House, move infantry and specialist units across Westeros, use heroes to strengthen armies, and make decisions about pushing, defending, flanking, and controlling important ground.

Core loop

The official site describes solo conquest of the Seven Kingdoms and multiplayer skirmishes for the Iron Throne. The Development Update adds detail about responsive controls, unit behavior, physical impact, and tactical counter-play. Together, those sources point to a battle system where formation and timing matter alongside raw numbers.

Units, heroes and terrain

The announced unit types are infantry, cavalry, siege engines, giants and dragons. Heroes can level up, unlock abilities and strengthen nearby troops. Maps such as King’s Landing, the Wall and Ashemark are designed around routes, defensive positions, flanking opportunities and key areas.

What is not public yet

There is no official resource chart, building tree, hotkey list, unit cost table or complete victory-condition guide. Gamescom’s planned gameplay reveal may add details, but a teaser cannot be treated as a full manual. Until a playable build is documented, avoid exact build orders and tier lists.
