The first session

Six moves to get oriented

You do not need to master everything on day one. Follow this order, learn what each screen does, and let your nation grow while you decide what kind of power you want to become.

01

Start here

Found your nation

Choose a name, leader, continent and flag. This is your permanent home in the world, so pick an identity you will enjoy representing.

Found a nation
02

Build your base

Collect your first turns

Your economy earns money, steel, oil, food and uranium every hour. Let a little revenue bank, then collect it from Command Center before you spend.

03

Invest wisely

Grow before you rush

Infrastructure improves your income. Land expands your room to grow, while a new city unlocks more potential. Early on, a healthy economy beats a huge army.

04

Prepare

Raise a balanced force

Recruit soldiers first, then add tanks, aircraft and ships as your treasury can support them. Military upkeep comes out of your revenue, so watch the net hourly yield.

05

Meet the world

Find your people

Browse nations, join an alliance and use the comms dock. Allies can share intelligence, coordinate wars and make the world feel much less lonely.

06

When ready

Choose your first war

Scout a rival, check their military power and declare only when your economy can sustain the campaign. Drive resistance to zero to win: victory captures resources and boosts morale, while defeat costs resources and lowers morale.

Keep this mental model

Money buys options.

Every part of the game connects back to your economy. More income gives you more infrastructure, more units, more trades and more freedom to recover from a bad campaign.

Collect regularly

You keep earning offline. Revenue banks for up to 24 hours and is credited when you log back in.

Scout first

Information is cheaper than a failed war. Learn the rival's strength before committing.

Use the market

Trade surplus resources for the one material your next upgrade needs.

Ask in chat

The global and alliance channels are the fastest way to learn the current world.
