How big is the WARDOGS map?

WARDOGS ships three maps, each 256 km² (16x16km) of the fictional Kolchia region. Each match randomizes a much smaller 4 km² Control Zone inside that map where the actual fighting and scoring happens.

What is Bakurani in WARDOGS?

Bakurani is Kolchia's river valley map — the only one of the three 256km² WARDOGS maps that's been publicly explored outside of Bulkhead. It has one town on the valley floor, cultivated land around it, and steep forested ridges with dense canopy on both sides.

The Battlefield: Kolchia

Three factions, one fictional region, a war over a resource called PV-1. Here's how the map actually works.

Three 256 km² maps

WARDOGS ships three separate maps, each covering 256 km² (16×16km) of Kolchia — a fictional Eastern European region modeled on real locations in Georgia. The only one of the three that anyone outside Bulkhead has publicly explored so far is Bakurani, Kolchia's river valley: one town holds the valley floor with cultivated land spreading around it, forested ridges climb steeply on both sides, and the tree canopy overhead is dense and near-continuous above the treeline break.

Control Zone & Hot Zone

Each match randomizes a 4 km² Control Zone somewhere inside the much larger map — this is where teams actually earn points, King-of-the-Hill style, with the first team to 100 points winning the match.

Inside that Control Zone, a smaller, moving Hot Zone gives double points and double cash to whoever holds it — the single highest-value place to be fighting at any given moment, and usually where the third-party chaos happens.

~60 POIs and FOB-building

Around 60 named points of interest are scattered across the map — places like the Lumberyard or the Sunflower Church. The Support role can convert static POIs like these into temporary Forward Operating Bases (FOBs), complete with anti-air coverage and a resupply station — a slow-to-pay-off investment solo, but often the deciding factor in whether a coordinated squad can actually hold the Control Zone.
