WORLD
One world. One economy. One #1.
Every Founder plays in the same persistent economic world. Servers may scale underneath it, but players are never split into separate economic universes.
BUILDING CORPORATE WARFARE IN PUBLIC
The Build.
Corporate Warfare is a persistent business strategy game built around a living economy, player-owned companies, competition, negotiation, risk and opportunity.
This is where we document the decisions behind the world we're building — what works, what changes, and what still needs to be beaten into shape.
DEVELOPMENT LOG
One hard question at a time.
We're building Corporate Warfare in public. No polished corporate diary. No pretending every idea survives contact with reality. Just the decisions, mistakes, changes and breakthroughs behind a living business world.
LATEST FROM THE BUILD
If You Own It, You Own It
Ownership in Corporate Warfare means freedom, risk and consequences. Sell it. Give it away. Make a brilliant deal. Make a catastrophically stupid one.

CURRENT MISSION
Build the world before we build the noise.
We're building the economic rules before we build the pretty stuff. Corporate Warfare begins with a world that resembles the real economy — cities, land values, industries, resources, infrastructure and existing businesses. From there, players take over.
We are not promising a release date. We are building the system until it deserves one.

WHAT IS ALREADY DECIDED
The rules that shape the world.
SCORE
Net worth keeps score.
Overall Founder rank is based on net worth. Official rankings are calculated daily, with industry, regional and seasonal rankings underneath.
GEOGRAPHY
Real Earth. Corporate Warfare economy.
Real geography sets the stage. The Day-One world resembles real economic ideas and relative values. After World Opening, the game economy writes its own history.
CAPITAL
Home defines identity, not opportunity.
A Founder can identify with South Sudan and build the first company in Dallas. Capital can go where the opportunity is.
LAND
Land is finite. Ownership is real.
Physical development requires a place to exist. If another Founder owns the land you want, you negotiate, lease, partner, buy — or build somewhere else.
RESOURCES
Resources follow geography.
Oil, minerals, farmland and other resources begin where they plausibly belong. Ownership follows players. Value follows the market.
FAILURE
You can lose your empire. You don't lose your story.
Companies and fortunes can fail. Founder history survives, and recovery must be earned through play rather than erased by a reset.
COMPLEXITY
Simple on top. Deep underneath.
The simulation can be sophisticated. The Founder makes the meaningful business decisions. The engine handles the administrative weeds.
THE LINE
Be ruthless in business. Decent to the human.
Bluff. Betray. Break deals. Corner markets. Crush a rival company if you can. That is play. Harassment, threats and attacks on the person behind the Founder are not.
NEXT MAJOR MILESTONE
Make the economy prove itself.
Before a full player-facing game is built, the plan is to create a local economic simulation harness and run long-horizon tests on the development laptop. The current cap is 100,000 simulated Founders, using rules-based behavior rather than thousands of paid AI agents.
The goal is simple: try to break the economy before players do.
