A downloadable ZW for Windows

Thankyou for Checking out Zeal Wars! (Updated to UE5 2023)
Always loved playing RTS games as a kid, like KKND 2, Darkreign and many others, mainly i was just watching the Ai construct bases while fighting each other.
So to help myself learn Unreal Engine i decided to create this project.

There are 32 Maps to watch the Ai fight on.
Bases can be captured and change factions, at the start of the match each team has its designated starting Base (Bases), from here they will expand and locate others to capture.

Points at the minute for each battle simulation is locked at 300 and can be recharged by pickups dropped by units upon their death, or from workerbots.

Each team has generators that recharge energy slowly.

Currency in the game at the moment allows you to purchase units.

You can set waypoints for either team to guide the battle.

>>>Purple is not functional at the moment - neither are their levels. | Campaign is not finished yet, accessible, but not functional. | Settings Menu / Info Menu needs work.<<<


All Music, Models and textures are made by myself.
This is a project i quite enjoy , and its in a good enough state now i think other people might hopefully enjoy it too.
Windows Only.
Unit cap is set very high between all teams before the AI gets confused, Higher unit counts (late games) may experience slower performance.
