Game Modes
Warigami is an origami real-time strategy game. It gives you two kinds of maps and several ways to play them. Whether you want a straight fight against the computer, a scripted mission with objectives, or a match against friends on your network, it starts here.
The Two Map Types
Every Warigami map is one of two types, chosen by its author in the Map Editor.
Skirmish Maps
A Skirmish map is standard RTS: build a base, grow an economy, and destroy the enemy. You win by destroying every enemy team’s Palace or Prime — losing either one eliminates a team. Skirmish maps always end on annihilation.
Scenario Maps
A Scenario map is a custom, objective-driven mission, much like classic “use-map-settings” games. Victory and defeat are decided by the map’s triggers instead of simple annihilation — for example, survive a timer, reach a kill count, hold a zone, or escort a unit. See Scenario & Triggers for the full picture.
Ways to Play
| Mode | What it is |
|---|---|
| Single-player Skirmish | A standard match against the computer AI. |
| Campaign | A series of custom maps played in order. |
| Multiplayer | Networked play against other people. |
| Custom maps | Anything you build yourself in the Map Editor. |
Single-player Skirmish
Play a Skirmish map against the computer AI. The AI runs a full economy and build order, and you can set it to different difficulties per team.
Campaign
Play a series of custom maps in order, from the Campaign menu. Campaigns have per-mission briefings and unlock rules — later missions unlock after you beat earlier ones. The built-in tutorial, “The First Crease,” teaches the basics through scripted objectives. See Skirmish & Campaign for details.
Multiplayer
Host or join a networked game with up to six human players. Warigami uses deterministic lockstep netcode and is LAN-first. See Multiplayer.
Custom Maps
Build your own maps — Skirmish or Scenario — in the Map Editor, then play them in any mode.
