The premise of Baldies is similar to many real-time strategy games. You start with a limited number of Baldies with which you construct buildings, increase your population, and create the necessary instruments of war. There are four classes of Baldies--builders, scientists, soldiers, and workers/breeders. Structures include small, medium, large, and huge houses as well as science labs and barracks. Each building has specific properties that assist in your destruction of the enemy.
The gameplay is fast-paced and action-packed as you control your Baldies and manage their growth. You'll need to balance resource production with military build-up and defend against enemy attacks. The game features a variety of units, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, allowing for a range of strategic possibilities.
