1. GEOGRAPHY & CONTINENTS
The world map features 6 distinct continents: Borealis, Aetheria, Elvoria, Nautilus, Zul'Dakar, and Vulkan, comprising 30 total territories. Dotted lines indicate intra-continental pathways, while dashed lines show inter-continental sea lanes.
2. GAME SETUP PHASE
Territories are randomly claimed at startup. Each player receives 10 extra armies. AIs deploy their 10 extra armies first, and you deploy yours last. Click your territories to deploy them one by one.
3. REINFORCEMENTS
At the start of every turn, a player receives reinforcement armies.
Formula: Math.floor(total_armies_owned / 5) + 3. Plus bonuses for complete continent control!
4. COMBAT & CHALLENGES
Select your territory with 2+ armies, then select an adjacent enemy territory to launch a challenge. Both roll a 6-sided die. High number wins, lower roll loses an army. Defender wins ties. If defender armies drop to 0, you conquer it and move all but 1 army to defend the new post.
5. AI PERSONALITIES
- Cautious AI: Distributes armies defensively. Only attacks when holding massive numerical advantage (3:1 or higher). Stops attacking early.
- Wreckless AI: Hyper-aggressive. Focuses all forces in one strong stack and attacks relentlessly until down to 1 army.
- Strategic AI: Concentrates on capturing continents and making smart tactical attacks (having positive ratio).
