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.
Gameplay involves managing your Baldies, gathering resources, and researching new technologies to strengthen your army. You'll need to balance resource production with military spending, all while fending off enemy attacks. The game requires strategic planning and efficient use of your resources to emerge victorious.
