The near present. Following the invasion of Iraq, Private Military Contractors(PMC) become the preferred instrument of foreign policy by Petro-Monarchies in the failed states of the Middle East. Staffed with US special operations combat veterans, PMC select, train and lead armies of local nationals in conventional and unconventional warfare operations. Combat actions conducted by the contractors are not considered acts of war. They are matters of foreign internal defense.

Black Powder Red Earth® is a minute-to-minute turn-based tactics game set in a proxy war between the dictatorship of a failing petro-state and a brutal jihadist insurgency. Fighting in war-torn urban sprawls, players lead an enhanced capability advisory and enabler unit, conducting kinetic actions with full lethal surrogacy to accomplish their missions.

Developed with the support and advice of Special Operations combat veterans from the Commanders In-Extremis Force and by the designer of the Decentralized Battle Space Program, Black Powder Red Earth® has no tech trees, base building or R&D mini-games. It focuses entirely on meaningful tactical decisions that influence the outcome of raids in urban environments.

Step into the event horizon of chaos and discontent, now.

The 8-Bit War has Intensified

Extremist violence has spread further through the slums of Awbari City, twisting the disaffected with fervor and bloodlust. Contract kill teams from Private Military Contractor Cold Harbor have been engaged to suppress this insurgency with full lethal authority.

In this latest update, Design Team Ember has added content, additional depth and significant polish!

Two New Operations Areas
Locust Pilgrim and Obsolete Torch are now LIVE! Supporting raid and exfil operations, as well as high profile attack evacuation missions, every map is populated with a random variety of local nationals and extremist fighters unique to every game.

Redesigned UI
Weve overhauled the entire UI of the game to put core game actions and new combat capabilities at your fingertips.

Deeper Behavior and Response
The Military Aged Males (MAMs) present in the Operations Area now have a range of additional actions they can take in response to player actions. Aware of other MAMs, they will respond not only to actions that affect them but other local nationals as well.

Kinetic Interrupt Capability
Counter ambushing extremist fighters gives affected assaulters one chance to avoid a kinetic event, making placement and positioning more important than ever.

Send a Text Capability
A non-lethal means to temporarily distract and disable both local nationals and extremist fighters.

High Card Flush
To avoid a fight in the house, kinetic force commanders can now opt to drop the HVT structure when the assaulters have positively identified the Named Area of Interest. Be advised, employing drones will create an immediate compromise and the kinetic force will have to fight their way to a designated exfil.

Conduct surreptitious movements into non-permissive environments and re-establish order with extreme prejudice. The 8-Bit War continues. Absolute Chaos. Now.
