The Soviet factory.
Assembly halls fill the left of the frame. Two stacks and a pair of cooling towers mark the power plant on the right. The site plan shows how the workshop yards and outlying buildings fit together.

The world, up close.
Move from the factory panorama to the workbench, then inspect vehicles and individual assemblies. These are project captures and visual explanations of the design.

The town.
Beyond the factory gate, another shift begins. Homes, streets and everyday lives give this industrial world a scale that cannot be measured in machines alone.
HOMES / STREETS / EVERYDAY LIFEInside the machine shop.
Rows of machine tools run between the columns of B10. From the aisle you can see the workstations, overhead lighting and the space around each machine.
B10 / MACHINE TOOLSAt the railhead.
The gantry spans the apron beside the tracks. A truck can pull alongside a flatcar here so its load can make the next part of the journey by rail.
B19 / CRANE AND SIDINGSThe machine.
Silhouette, hull, running gear, equipment. The wider picture gives way to individual details. We want vehicles to have a tangible story, from their creation to their work and return.
STRUCTURE / COMPONENTS / CONDITIONThe person.
A work shift. A driver in a cab. A crew behind armour. People give this entire chain its meaning. Through them, decisions carry weight and consequences become understandable.
WORK / CREW / CONSEQUENCES03 /THE CORE PRINCIPLE
Nothing comes
from nothing.
Every result has a source, a cost and a journey.
Follow the story of one machine.
A machine begins with ore, energy and human effort. It must be assembled, equipped, fuelled and delivered. After the battle, you must decide what can be recovered.
AN EXAMPLE: THE JOURNEY OF ONE MACHINE01
Ore & materials
Extraction → transport → storage
02
Energy & workshop
Processing → metal → components
03
Vehicle assembly
Hull + components + labour
04
Preparation
Crew + fuel + ammunition
05
The road to the front
Route + transport + time
06
Action & its price
Combat → consumption → condition
Recovery → inspection → repair or dismantling → return of vehicles and usable components
ОТ СЫРЬЯ ДО ПРИКАЗА
Одна машина. Много необходимых связей.
В этом примере машина проходит весь путь: материалы поступают в производство, цеха создают детали, сборка соединяет их, экипаж получает подготовленную технику. Доставка связывает этот труд с действиями на карте.
Выберите сбой выше и посмотрите, какая связь меняется.

The enemy looks
for a weak point.
The vision for General AI:
scout, isolate, apply pressure.
THE LOGIC OF CONFLICTAI / AM
Learn first.
The enemy must gather information too. Reconnaissance reveals the positions of forces and their routes. Decisions should follow what has been discovered, while hidden movement preserves uncertainty.
Cut the link to the rear.
An attack on supply forces a choice: hold a position, defend the road or find a detour. The outcome can change far from the main engagement.
Apply pressure. Regroup.
Exploit an opening, assess the outcome and gather strength for the next move. The pause between attacks offers a chance to restore connections or seize the initiative.
This is how we are designing the opponent. Verified game episodes will be shown in development materials.
