Warhounds Wiki - FAQ
Does Warhounds use random number generation like other tactics games?
No -- the developers have made "no fake RNG" a core design pillar. There are no random misses or hidden percentages; every action has clear, readable consequences, meaning mistakes are genuinely punished and smart play is genuinely rewarded.
What is the game's setting and premise?
You command an elite mercenary unit, the Warhounds, in an alternate near-future Africa, progressing through a story-driven campaign where every mission affects the balance of an ongoing regional war between military organizations, political movements, and corporations.
Can I customize my mercenaries?
It depends -- named "veteran" mercenaries are confirmed to not have customization options, while generic "common" mercenaries do have confirmed character customization.
Did the developers use AI to make this game?
No -- they've explicitly stated no generative AI is used during gameplay, and that no other part of the game, including code, 3D models, writing, dialogue, or voice acting, uses AI in any form.
Will my demo or playtest progress carry over to the full release?
Yes -- save files and progress from the final pre-release playtest build are confirmed to carry over directly into the full game at launch.
How long are missions?
Missions are confirmed as 25-40 minute cinematic set-pieces, designed as episodic action sequences.
