Run routes.
Harvest places.
Build your nation.
Milestead turns your city into a living game board. Streets are divided into small hex cells, and each cell pays out the resource that matches its real land use — parks give timber, industrial blocks give metal, campuses give knowledge. Run through cells to harvest them, then spend the haul on buildings and new ages. Your phone stays in your pocket the whole time.

Your nation · Ancient Age
H3 hex · ~65 m
Designed for runners, engineered as a strategy game
No wait timers bought with credit cards. If your next upgrade needs timber, you lace up and go find trees.
Where you run is what you earn
Every hex cell pays out the resource matching its real land use. Plan routes around what your nation needs next — the upgrade screen tells you exactly what's missing.
- Food Farmland, water
- Timber Parks, forests
- Metal Industrial, rail
- Wealth Shops, commercial
- Knowledge Campuses, libraries
- Oil Fuel, energy (Industrial+)
Yesterday's loop pays less today
Harvested cells regrow linearly over 72 hours. Repeating one loop yields less and less, so your routes stay varied — new streets, new resources, new runs.
The upgrade screen is your route planner
Every building shows exactly what the next level costs and what you're short on. One tap filters the map to cells holding that resource nearby. Spend, upgrade instantly — no timers, no speed-ups — and pick your next target.
Solo, calm, and yours
No combat, no territory to defend, no leaderboards to chase. Raw GPS traces stay on your device — only harvested cell IDs and quantities ever sync. Run public paths, stay aware, pocket your phone.
Three steps from the pavement to the next age
Your current running routine, unchanged — except now every run builds something.
- 01Instant upgrades, no timers
Pick your next upgrade
Open your nation and choose a building — or the next age. Costs are shown as owned-versus-needed, with exact shortfalls.
- 02No screen taps mid-run
Run & harvest automatically
Start a run and put the phone away. Passing through cells harvests them; audio and haptic cues report your gains.
- 03Progress saves permanently
Spend & advance
Review the haul, spend it on buildings, and work toward the next age — which always needs knowledge, so routes keep varying.
