The command brief
A massive RTS, stripped to decisions.
Ashes of the Singularity II is a real-time strategy game about planning and logistics at a scale where individual clicks stop being the point. Command armies of thousands, take connected regions, place production where replacements can reach the front, and use terrain before the first shot lands.
This field manual exists to make those decisions legible. We separate confirmed mechanics from strategy advice, show our sources, and refuse to fill gaps with invented stats. If the launch build changes something, the page gets a date — not a quiet rewrite.
Choose your doctrine
Three answers to one war.
The UEF brings numbers and conventional combined arms. The PHC brings expensive armour and repair. The Substrate brings regenerating shields and relentless drone pressure.

Source first
No invented stats.
Faction numbers and unit roles come from official Stardock material, with third-party reporting labelled when used. Unpublished values say “not published”.
Independent
No publisher approval.
This is an independent editorial project. Official artwork is credited and used for coverage, but the analysis and the mistakes are ours.
Maintained
Dated, not artificially fresh.
We publish a verification date and update pages when the facts change. We do not reset dates to simulate freshness.
