Welcome to Battletech: The Frontier Lands — a world of text and steel. Here, the roar of BattleMech engines merges with the distant thunder of explosions, and the fate of entire cities lies in your hands.
You’ll find yourself on the planet Randis IV, in a region where ambitious city-states wage endless wars for power and resources. As in any true classic MUD, there are no aliens or magic here — only humans, metal, and strategy.
Each of you can become a pilot of a legendary BattleMech, a commander of an armored column, or an ace of the skies. The open progression system frees you from rigid classes: you decide who you are — a striker, scout, engineer, or faction leader. Everything depends on your choices and experience.
Battles unfold in real time. You control your mech, imagining every turret turn, every shot fired, every heavy step of a metal titan. What matters here is not reflexes, but cold calculation, technical knowledge, and command skill.
Join one of the factions, gather resources, build your reputation, and conquer territories.
The Frontier Lands is not just a game — it’s a living war chronicle of a world where steel and dust replace magic, and destinies are decided by a pilot’s command.

The website of Battletech: The Frontier Lands offers poor accessibility and limited clarity. Navigation is confusing, the structure lacks transparency, and the content is presented without logical hierarchy. For users of screen reading software, the web resource is nearly unusable.
