Lotus Net

Lotus Net is a free, fan-made lobby that lets you play Battle Realms online with your friends, just like on a LAN. It works with Battle Realms 1.50q (Winter of the Wolf) and Battle Realms 1.0. Stream your match so other people can watch, in Lotus Net or in a browser, and ask BenLotusAI for help in chat.

What is Lotus Net?

Battle Realms only knows how to find games on a local network. Lotus Net puts you and your friends on the same virtual LAN over the internet, so your games can see each other just like at a LAN party. It is not a game mod, it does not change your game files, and it does not include the game.

💬
Two lobby chats
BR WOTW Chat is for Winter of the Wolf. Battle Realms 1.0 Chat is for Battle Realms 1.0. Everyone in that chat can talk and see who is hosting.
🏯
Game rooms
Host a room for up to 8 players. Name it, add a password if you want, and invite friends with a right-click. The host can also let extra people sit in as watchers.
▶️
One-click Start
The host presses Start. Battle Realms opens for the host, and everyone in the room joins together.
📺
Watch a stream
Share your game so people who are not playing can watch. They can watch in Lotus Net or from the Lobby page. You can stream in real time or with a one minute delay, and choose whether viewers hear your computer and your microphone.
🛡️
Built-in VPN
Having trouble connecting with a friend? Turn on the free BenLotus VPN inside the app — nothing else to install.
✉️
Private messages
Double-click anyone online to send a private message. Conversations open in their own window.
🔄
Updates itself
New versions download in the background. When one is ready, just click Restart now.
🤖
BenLotusAI
Type /ai or !ai in a lobby, a game room, or a private message. BenLotusAI is powered by various AI models, such as models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others. It can help with the game, the chats, and how Lotus Net works.
🎨
Make it yours
Pick a color theme, set your status, and choose name and chat colors. If you step away from the computer, your name shows as away until you come back.

How a game night works

1
Get the app and an account

Download Lotus Net for Windows and create a free account. Log in with your email and password.

2
Meet in the lobby

Click Lobby to chat and see who is online in your browser. In the app, pick BR WOTW Chat or Battle Realms 1.0 Chat. One player hosts a game room, and friends join it or get invited.

3
Press Start

When everyone is in, the host presses Start. Battle Realms opens into the host's game, and the other players join it.

4
Play

Fight it out. Friends who are not in the match can still watch your stream. When the game ends, everyone is back in the room, ready for the next one.

Battle Realms

Which version do I need?

Lotus Net supports two games: Battle Realms 1.50q (Winter of the Wolf) and Battle Realms 1.0. You need your own copy of each game you want to play. Lotus Net does not include either game. This is not for the Steam Battle Realms Zen Edition.

Open Settings and browse for the copy you have. If you play both, set both paths. A 1.50q room starts your 1.50q copy, and a 1.0 room starts your 1.0 copy.

The BenLotus VPN

Some home internet setups make it hard for two players to reach each other. The BenLotus VPN is built into Lotus Net to help with that. It is free, there is nothing extra to download, and you can turn it on or off from inside the app whenever you need it.

Questions

Is Lotus Net free?
Yes. It is a free, fan-made project. There are no ads and nothing to buy.
Do I need an account?
Yes, a free one. Create it here or inside the app. If you forget your password, you can reset it on the same page.
Does it change my game?
No. Lotus Net does not modify Battle Realms or its files. It only helps you and your friends find each other.
Can other people watch my game?
Yes. Start a stream in Lotus Net. Friends can watch it in the app, or from the Lobby page in a browser. They can lower the volume or mute the sound.
Windows says the app is unrecognized. Is that OK?
That warning (Microsoft SmartScreen) is common for small free apps. The Downloads page shows what to click.
My friend cannot join my game. What should I try?
Make sure you are both in the same Lotus Net room and on the latest version. If it still does not work, turn on the VPN inside Lotus Net and try again.
What is BenLotusAI?
It is a chat helper in Lotus Net. Type /ai or !ai and a question. It is powered by various AI models, such as models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others. It can talk about the game, the public chats, and how to use Lotus Net.
What do you do with my data?
Only what is needed to run Lotus Net. Read the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use.
