What is TinyWarz?
TinyWarz is a free massively multiplayer, turn-based game where players battle other players and computer controlled bandits on distant worlds. Time is an important factor in TinyWarz - players are given a limited amount of time to finish their turns and are rewarded for early completion. In TinyWarz, each player is represented by a commander which they can customize through skills and abilities that are purchased with level points.
What can I do in TinyWarz?
You can create an army, construct / customize units, assign crews, design bases, and battle to control planets. Watch your hired crews improve in combat and select special abilities for your command crew as they gain experience. Grow your army with salvaged units or buy them from other players through the in-game market.
What do I need to play TinyWarz?
TinyWarz is designed to be played through your web-browser. However, unlike traditional web-based games, TinyWarz utilizes graphics instead of text. TinyWarz is also fast paced - players need to make quick decisions concerning their units. Fast game-play creates battles that can last a few minutes to an hour.
Javascript must be enabled to play TinyWarz.

 Super Nodes!
Faction War planets now support Super Nodes! If one faction is able to capture all of the Nodes on a Faction War planet (Hellion or Infernus), one of these Nodes will be randomly converted into a Super Node. A Super Node pays out Faction Points similiar to a stardard Node except at horizon. At horizon a Super Node will pay out 1,000 Faction Points to the faction which controls the Node at that time. Only one Super Node can be created per planet. A planet's deploy information will display which Node is the Super Node, this information is also broadcast on the planet from time to time. A faction must capture all Nodes on the planet by the 3,000th turn (1,500 turns before horizon) in-order to create a Super Node. Other than the additional faction point pay-out a Super Node has no other special properities and can be captured or re-captured like any other Node.
Super Nodes also increase the incremental pay-outs which happen during a Faction War planet's orbit by 3x:
* 12 hours - 45 faction points
* 24 hours - 75 faction points
* 36 hours - 105 faction points
* 48 hours - 135 faction points
* 60 hours - 165 faction points
* 72 hours - 195 faction points
* Horizon - 1,000 faction points
Total possible Super Node faction points: 1,720
Also, Ore amounts in ore deposits on non-PvP planets has been slightly increased to help starting players gather starting resources faster.

 New Year; New Construx
New Faction Construx are now available! Factions can gain additional construx from the current pool of Faction construx including new rare construx which allow the construction of previously unbuildable meka and vehicles. Faction Leaders can now purchase additional Faction Construx for 3 TinyBucks and 100 Faction Points each. Each construx purchased this way is randomly chosen from the current pool of Faction Construx, including the new Dark Inquistor Meka. With each purchase there is a chance that a rare construx will be created instead.
     
With each purchase a faction has a 16.7% chance of gaining an Advanced Construx, a 33.3% chance of gaining a Intermediate Construx and a 50% chance of gaining a Simple Construx. After the complexity is determined, there is a 20% chance that the construx will be a rare (non-faction) construx.
