Mods are coded in the programming language Lua which, after uploading it to Warzone, gets embedded into both the Warzone server and the client.  When joining a multi-player game with mods, the Warzone client will automatically download and run the code for that mod.   No installation is required by end-users to use mods, they simply join or create a game that has mods enabled.

Single-player modded games are always free for members.  Likewise, multi-player games where all players are members are also free. Members can create a modded game for non-members by using the special "Allow non-members to join" check-box on the mods page.  Using this special checkbox is free once per week to members, (restarts Monday), but after that it will cost a small fee (2 coins per player, member or not, in the game). This fee exists since mods can run on the server, and modded games are significantly more CPU-intensive for the Warzone server to run than non-modded games.

Mods are a way of modifying/expanding the Warzone core gameplay beyond what is possible using the built-in configuration options. Modded games can be created only by members, however you may ask a member to create a game for you.

Mods are easy to use! When joining a game with mods, Warzone automatically downloads the mod. No installation is required. Simply join or create a game that has mods enabled. Since no installation is required, mods are fully supported on all Warzone platforms, including Android and iOS!

Some mods have a menu where users can interact with the mod. To open this menu, from a game go to Game > Mod: <mod name>.

Create your own Mod

See the Mod Developers Guide for details on how to get started making your own mod.


Mod Categories

Mods have 4 main categories:

  • Promoted - mod available for public use. Can be used in Quickmatch or tournaments.
  • Standard - mod available for public use. Can be used in Quickmatch or tournaments.
  • Experimental - mod available for public use (may have bugs; 'rarely' used)
  • Development -
    • Non-public - mod still being made. Allows for multiplayer testing. Mod code obtained from GitHub (how mods run normally).
    • Local - mod still being made. Code runs from local files for use in single-player only.

List of published mods (not exhaustive)

Please note some mods may have bugs. Contact the mod developer (by Discord, private message or using the forum) to report a bug. Note that if a mod takes more than 10 seconds to run, a crash message will appear. This would only happen if using a map that is too big (in terms of number of territories or bonuses).
