How to Play

Create armies, settlers and builders to conquer the world map. Build farms, villages, lumberyards and iron mines for resources, or create a web of alliances and enemies to conquer them from others. Recruit different types of troop, everything from peasants to musketmen; each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

The time will come to fight battles. When a battle is initiated, the game switches to Battle mode - and your troops appear on a battle map awaiting your orders. Use tactics to your advantage, use swift moving cavalry to attack your enemy from the rear, or cheap disposable peasants to keep your enemy occupied while you deal with their bowmen. Be careful! Once your troops are engaged in melee it will be hard to disengage them. Just like a real battle, your soldiers can become tired (dropping their speed), or become overwhelmed with fear, forcing them to flee the battlefield.
