Game Mechanics

Players submit orders before each round, limited by their available Movement Points. Civilizations then execute actions in a randomized turn order.

Map and Key Features

The capital city is paramount. Losing it for three consecutive turns leads to a civilization's collapse. Capturing an enemy capital grants control over all its provinces. Capitals provide significant offensive and defensive bonuses (+15% each) and start with all buildings constructed.

The map displays neutral (transparent) and controlled (colored) provinces. Zoom functionality is available, with an indicator in the minimap's top-right corner showing non-standard zoom levels.

Economy and Population Management

Dedicated buttons allow players to view economic and population data for each province. The diplomacy button facilitates interaction and information gathering.

Treasury System

Income is generated through taxation based on population and economy. Military upkeep, higher for naval units, deducts from the treasury.
