How to play

Use the mouse to navigate menus and manage your economy by deploying workers and soldiers. Move your units across the battlefield using the A and D keys to position them for offense or defense. When you are in direct control of a unit, press the spacebar to execute attacks. Success requires balancing your gold intake with the recruitment of new units to withstand enemy waves and eventually destroy their base.

Tips for beginners

  • Prioritize early resource gathering to ensure a steady flow of reinforcements.
  • Use the A and D keys to strategically retreat units when they are outnumbered.
  • Time your attacks manually with the spacebar to maximize damage in close combat.
  • Maintain a balanced army composition to handle both defensive and offensive needs.
