About the Game
"If the iron dice must roll, may God help us." — Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg, Chancellor of Germany, August 1914
Iron Dice is a grand strategy game about the moment diplomacy fails and empires fracture.
The old empire has collapsed. Thirty kingdoms stand in its ruins, each with its own culture, economy, and ambitions. Choose one. Rebuild the empire, carve out your independence, or watch it all burn, the iron dice are already rolling.
Why Iron Dice?
A grand strategy campaign you can finish. Built for players who love the genre but don't have 400 hours to spare. Campaigns are tight, focused, and designed to resolve.
Real depth, not fake depth. Chaining economic sectors, tile-based military maneuver, a full tech tree, and diplomacy that actually bites. No systems bolted on for the feature list.
