THE COMMANDER’S FIELD GUIDE

A foothold. A frontier. An empire.

  1. Claim your ground

    Choose a starting location, then click neutral land or press Z to expand from your borders.

  2. Choose your commitment

    The slider commits a share of your standing army. Troops on an offensive cannot defend your homeland. Click the same nation to reinforce.

  3. Build your advantage

    Cities provide housing, income and research speed. Defense posts protect a ten-tile radius. Select a structure, then click your land to build.

  4. Control the world

    Capture 80% of all land alone, or 90% with an allied coalition sharing your national focus. At 30 minutes, the largest nation or coalition wins. Hills and mountains cost more troops to conquer.
