Two armies with different goals
Weltendämmerung is Dirk Maier’s fantasy strategy game for the Commodore 64. Two commanders lead asymmetric armies over an 80-by-40-tile map. The web project reconstructs the game from its original program and documented rules, making an obscure strategy design available through a mouse-driven browser interface and an English manual.
It is a game about positioning within a fixed conflict. You are moving an existing army through terrain, arranging attacks and controlling gates. The different armies and separate phases make choosing when to advance as important as choosing where.
Read the phase before issuing an order
Each round divides play into movement, attack and fortification. MOV lets units move orthogonally using terrain-dependent movement points; ATK allows one attack per unit, including diagonal targets in range. FOR changes gates at their fixed map positions. An order that makes sense in one phase may be unavailable in the next.
Select with a click, deselect with a right-click and scroll with the arrow keys. End Turn advances the phase; the browser also binds Space to that action. Check the highlighted phase and selected unit statistics before advancing, especially while learning what each unit can reach.

Survival and pursuit lead to different plans
Eldoin wins by keeping his commander alive until turn 15 or destroying all Dailor units. Dailor must kill that commander before the deadline. The defender can use gates and blocked terrain to delay an approach; the attacker needs to turn a numerical advantage into progress before time runs out.
Flying units cross terrain cheaply, while warships are confined to rivers. Siege destruction of a gate is permanent at that location. These exceptions give individual units specific jobs and make the manual worth keeping open for a first game.
