Build your empire. Raise your dragon. Conquer the world.
A 2.5D online multiplayer strategy game set in a seamless hex-grid world of many civilizations, mythical beasts, and endless ambition.
A 2.5D online multiplayer strategy game set in a seamless hex-grid world of many civilizations, mythical beasts, and endless ambition.
Atlas of Scales drops you into a persistent, seamless world where thousands of players compete for territory, resources, and glory. Build your city from the ground up, develop a thriving economy, train armies drawn from your civilization's mythology, and raise a dragon that will become your most devastating weapon.
There is no finish line. No final boss. Only the empires you build, the alliances you forge, and the wars you wage across a living world that never stops evolving.
One continuous hex-grid world of five biomes at launch, each with its own resources, units, and civilization. More arrive through Continental Drift as the world grows.
Dozens of unique units across five civilizations, terrain that shapes every battle, and a dragon that changes everything. Every decision matters.
Cosmetics-only monetisation. No pay-to-win, no shortcuts. Every player earns their empire through strategy, patience, and skill. Dragon Scales are purely cosmetic.
A procedurally generated hex-grid world where geography shapes strategy. Five biomes and civilizations at launch, with more arriving through Continental Drift. Each biome favours different resources, creating natural trade routes and economic interdependence between civilizations.
Rolling green hills and ancient forests. A balanced homeland providing steady resources — the perfect starting ground for any empire.
Towering peaks and deep quarries. A stone powerhouse with natural fortress defenses that make invaders think twice.
Volcanic wastelands of fire and obsidian. The harshest biome demands total self-sufficiency — but rewards with unmatched defense.
Cracked earth and rocky scrubland. A harsh but survivable land where tenacious civilizations carve empires from dust.
Vast oceans, shimmering lakes, and winding rivers. Abundant food fuels rapid growth, and naval mastery controls the tides of war.
The map is not finished. New lands will rise between the old ones, each bringing a civilization of its own. Their names are still a secret.
Your empire's reach extends through a zone-of-influence system. As your city grows, your territory expands outward, granting access to new resource tiles and strategic positions. Overlapping influence zones create natural flashpoints for conflict and diplomacy.
The world grows. Each new civilization arrives through continental drift: existing territories shift outward and the new biome fills the gaps, bringing its own troops, resources, and dragon to every player. Your empire migrates seamlessly, and fresh frontiers emerge between established civilizations.
Every empire begins with a single city. Expand your capital, establish outposts across the map, and build an economy that fuels your ambitions.
Your capital starts as a modest settlement and grows into a sprawling metropolis. Place buildings strategically — Town Hall, Barracks, Labs, Housing, Hospitals, Warehouses, and the secretive Shadowhouse — each contributing to your empire's power.
Manage multiple construction projects simultaneously by allocating build weights. Prioritise what matters most and watch your city take shape.
Four core resources — Wood, Stone, Food, and Gold — form the backbone of your economy. Each biome produces resources at different rates, creating natural trade dependencies between civilizations.
Gold comes exclusively from taxation. Set your tax rate carefully: too high and your population declines, too low and your coffers run dry. Special biome-unique resources unlock advanced buildings and elite troops.
Eight tech categories spanning Military, Resources, City, Hospital, Espionage, and biome specializations. All labs across your empire contribute to a shared research pool.
Establish secondary cities across the map to claim distant resource tiles and project power into new biomes.
Completed all standard research? Mastery techs offer infinite progression with escalating costs — the ultimate endgame resource sink.
Transport resources between your cities via convoys. Route choice matters — fast routes risk enemy territory, safe routes take longer.
Every civilization bonds with a unique dragon species. Raise yours from egg to battle-ready adult, equip it with armour, and unleash it as the centrepiece of your army. Five dragons hatch at launch. Click any dragon to see its armoured form.
Born of ancient myth, equally adept in all forms of combat. The perfect companion for commanders who value versatility above all else.
The fastest dragon in the realm, diving from mountain peaks with devastating force. Unmatched speed turns the battlefield into a blur.
The most destructive dragon alive, forged in volcanic fire. Its raw power output exceeds all other dragons combined.
A shape-shifting terror equally lethal on land and sea. Its multiple heads strike from every angle, adapting to any battlefield.
An unkillable tank that absorbs punishment others cannot survive. Its impenetrable scales make it the ultimate defensive weapon.
Auto-battle combat driven by army composition, terrain, and dragon support. Choose your army wisely — then read the battle report to see how it played out.
Battles resolve automatically. Send your army, then read the battle report — units killed, wounded, and survived. The outcome depends on what you bring and where you fight.
Each biome applies its own defensive modifiers in combat. Where you fight is just as important as what you bring. Terrain choice is strategy.
Cities are protected by walls, dragon auto-defense, allied garrisons, and terrain bonuses. Breaking through requires overwhelming force — or clever tactics.

Form alliances, build a shared headquarters on the world map, and project collective power across the realm. Together, you control territory that no solo player can threaten.
A physical building placed on the world map adjacent to your members' influence zones. Upgrade it to expand your member cap and unlock shared territory yield bonuses.
Enemy convoys passing through your alliance territory take automatic ranged fire from gauntlet structures. Your own members move freely. Control the map, control the supply lines.
Alliance members automatically share real-time vision. The union of all member influence zones becomes your alliance's detection network — a well-positioned alliance has no blind spots.
Fund collective infrastructure: Roadway Networks for faster convoys, War Academies for quicker training, and Shared Vaults for reduced transit taxes and emergency resource storage.
Train spies to infiltrate enemy cities and uncover their secrets. Three tiers of operatives, each with escalating intelligence capabilities and risk.
Cheap and disposable. Deploy them in numbers to build an intelligence network. The more you place, the more you learn. Canary alerts warn you when your own spies are detected.
The balanced workhorse of your spy network. Moderate cost, significant intelligence value. Agents provide the steady flow of information that drives smart strategic decisions.
Elite operatives. Expensive to train but devastatingly efficient. A single Spymaster produces more intelligence than a squad of Informants — and is harder to detect.
The more intelligence you gather on a target, the more you uncover.
