What it needs
Section titled “What it needs”| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| System | Windows 11 | Windows 11 |
| Processor | 4-core Core i5 or Ryzen 5 from the last five years, or a Snapdragon X | 6 to 8-core Core i7 or Ryzen 7 |

The game is about 170 MB, each world about 95 MB (the five newest are kept) and each save about 1 MB. A wider world takes more: about the square of how much wider it is, in time to make and in memory.
First launch
Section titled “First launch”Unpack the game into a folder of its own and run disclander.exe. The
first run makes a world, which takes a few minutes and shows its
progress, then opens the start menu.
From the start menu:
- Continue picks up your newest save in this world.
- New game starts afresh in this world, in another kept world, or in a new one. A new world can be full or half size, and 82, 102, 123 or 164 km across. Here you also choose to play a man or a woman, and a face.
- Load game lists every save, newest first.
- Settings holds the options and the key bindings.
The game keeps everything beside disclander.exe:
| Folder or file | What it holds |
|---|---|
maps/ |
The worlds, one folder each |
saves/ |
Your saves, with auto.json written as you play |
settings.txt |
Options and key bindings |
reports/ |
Problem reports (below) |
logs/ |
Crash logs |
Playing together
Section titled “Playing together”Two players share one campaign. The host’s friend leads a second army on the host’s side.
- The host picks Co-op on the start menu, then Host a game. The game waits for a friend on port 7777.
- The friend picks Co-op, then Join, and types the host’s address (and port, if the host chose another).
The host’s port must be open to the friend: on the same network it usually is; over the internet the host may need to forward it. Both play the same shipped world. Only the host can load a save, and either player pausing pauses both.

too.
