About the Game
The factory floor is cold. The forge burns hot. Nations are going to war, and they need guns.Artillery Tycoon drops you into the cutthroat world of military manufacturing at the dawn of modern warfare. You're not just building weapons—you're engineering the thunder that decides which flags fly and which empires fall.
ENGINEER
Design artillery from the ground up. Research authentic breech mechanisms, recoil systems, and firing platforms. Every component matters. Attach the hull. Select your crew—commander, gunners, loaders. Configure your ordinance. Test fire at the range. Miss, and you lose the contract. Hit your marks, and nations will pay fortunes for your firepower.
BUILD
Transform raw steel into instruments of war. Manage production lines running 24/7. Speed up time and watch your factory churn out the French 75, the British 18-pounder, weapons that will reshape battlefields across continents. Expand your facilities. Unlock new research. Automate production. Save your designs and scale up—from one prototype to an arsenal.
DOMINATE
Win contracts from governments desperate for an edge. Outbid rival manufacturers. Deliver on time or watch your reputation crumble. Every nation at war needs artillery. The question is: will they buy yours?There are no second chances when your weapons fail on the battlefield. There are no refunds when shells miss their targets. This is industrial warfare. This is capitalism with a body count.Your factory. Your designs. Your empire. Build it or die trying.
