What is OpenFront Wiki?

Updated

OpenFront Wiki is the official community wiki for OpenFront, an open-source, browser-based real-time strategy game. It is a reference and learning site rather than the game itself: you go there to read guides, look up game mechanics and units, and follow release changelogs. It suits players who want to learn the game or improve at it, and anyone checking what changed in a recent update.

What the wiki covers

The site organizes its content around two main areas: game knowledge and release history.

Game mechanics and strategy. The "Explore the Wiki" section links to pages on settings, combat, gold, bots, nations, buildings, and specific units and structures such as the port, atom bomb, warship, transport ship, and train. These are reference entries for understanding how parts of the game work.

Guides. A featured Early Game Guide covers the basics and how to expand in the opening minutes. The site also embeds video guides, including a beginner guide and a team game guide by Lonely_Millennial, hosted on YouTube.

Release notes. A "Recent Releases" section tracks version changelogs. As of the site's current content, the latest major update is v35 (October 2026), described as a progression update adding player levels, XP and prestige, Ranked Free For All and Ranked Clan Wars, a seekable replay viewer, smarter nations, and twelve new maps. Earlier entries cover v0.34.0 (September 2026, including OpenFront's arrival on Steam on September 17th) and v0.33.0 (July 2026, adding the Doomsday Clock battle-royale mode and ranked 2v2 matchmaking).

Where it sends you

The wiki is a hub with outbound links rather than a self-contained platform. It links to:

Destination What it's for
Game's website Playing OpenFront
Official Discord Community chat
Development GitHub The open-source codebase
OpenFront on Steam The Steam version
YouTube Video guides and content
Wiki Project Discord Contributing to the wiki itself

When it's the right place to look

Use the wiki when you want to understand a mechanic, check unit or building behavior, read a changelog, or find a starting guide. If you want to actually play, discuss with other players, or browse the source code, follow the outbound links above instead. If you want to help maintain the documentation, the Wiki Project Discord is the entry point.

The site does not present pricing or login requirements for the game in the material available here, so treat access terms as something to confirm on the game's own site or Steam page rather than assuming from the wiki.
