Your Mission: Capture your opponent's Capital or control the most tiles by the timer's expiration. You can claim tiles by purchasing them or by launching Armies to capture them. By strategically claiming Villages, you generate a timed income, allowing for the training of Armies, construction of structures, and significant upgrades.

Controls

  • Move Camera: WASD or Mouse
  • Zoom: Q, E or Mouse Wheel
  • Interaction: Left Mouse Click
  • Cancel Action: Not possible! Think wisely!

Game Modes

  1. 1v1: Face off against another player, balanced by ELO or engage in random duels.
  2. 2v2: Team up with an ally to double your tactics against opposing teams; balance maintained through ELO.

Game Mechanics

Every action in the game requires the expenditure of Gold, which you gather from Villages over time (visible in the bottom left). You can claim unoccupied tiles for just 1 Gold, but capturing an opponent’s territory requires sending your Armies. Keep in mind, if any tiles become disconnected from your Capital, they will be lost! Surrounding an opponent’s territory captures all interior tiles.

Strategy Tips

  • Focus on capturing and claiming tiles early to establish a stronghold and gather resources faster.
  • Your control over Villages is crucial for generating consistent income. Destroying them can yield instant rewards.
  • Explore the map carefully; treasures and tactical advantages await hidden in the fog!
  • Spend wisely; even a rich income won’t guarantee victory if mismanaged.
  • Employ strategic timing when deploying your Armies for maximum impact.
  • While capturing the Capital is a path to victory, defending your territory until time runs out can secure a win as well.
