About OpenFront
OpenFront is a territory-building strategy game where players expand, manage resources, construct infrastructure, and defend against rivals. Success depends on more than fast expansion: a stable economy, sensible factory placement, protected borders, and a flexible response to the map all matter. This fan-made wiki explains the systems players ask about most, from early-game build orders and money management to ports, railroads, warships, custom maps, and patch changes.

OpenFront Beginner Guide
Start with the essentials: secure territory, understand production, and avoid overextending before your economy can support it.
- 1
Claim a safe opening area
Expand into useful territory, but leave enough resources to protect what you already control.
- 2
Build for steady income
Prioritize the economy needed to support future construction and units.
- 3
Watch your borders
A fast expansion can become a weak one if your new territory is impossible to defend.
- 4
Adapt to the map
Water, chokepoints, distance, and nearby opponents should shape every early decision.
OpenFront Strategy and Tips
The strongest plans balance growth with defense. Learn when to pressure, when to consolidate, and how to avoid losing everything to one exposed border.
OpenFront Buildings Guide
Every building has a role in your expansion. Place infrastructure with purpose so your economy and military can scale together.
OpenFront Economy Guide
A reliable economy gives you room to recover from mistakes, defend against pressure, and invest in the next stage of growth.
- 1
Grow population
More population supports broader expansion and stronger long-term output.
- 2
Avoid overspending
Keep enough money available for defense and essential upgrades.
- 3
Invest with a goal
