Field manual
Goal: The goal is to conquer the most territory and be the last player remaining on the grid. Controls: Desktop: Use the Arrow Keys to direct your character. How to conquering Territory: Move out from your colored territory to draw a trail. Return to any part of your own territory to complete a loop. The area you've enclosed will be claimed and converted to your color. Elimination: You are eliminated if you run into the outer walls or an opponent's established territory. City Building & Scoring: As your territory grows, buildings like houses and skyscrapers will automatically be built, generating points for you over time. Conquering enemy territory, destroying their buildings, and eliminating opponents will also boost your score. Power-ups: Occasionally, power-ups will appear on the map. Move over them to collect special abilities for a limited time. Speed: Move twice as fast. Shield: Survive one fatal collision. Ghost: Pass through enemy trails without being eliminated. Bomb: Instantly claim a large circular area around you.
Launch orders: press Launch mission above and the game loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first move. It is designed for a landscape (wide) screen and takes its orders from mouse, keyboard or touch, depending on the mission. It is built wide, for a landscape screen — rotate a phone sideways, or give it a tablet or monitor to stretch out on. If it offers a fullscreen control, use it — a fight this size deserves the whole screen.
Field notes for strategy operations
- Economy first, army second. The player who builds one more resource structure in the opening minutes out-produces the player who built one more soldier — arithmetic is the quietest weapon in strategy.
- Scout before you commit. Every strategy game hides a paper to your rock; two minutes of reconnaissance is cheaper than twenty minutes of building the wrong answer.
- Hold a reserve. Committing everything to the first fight leaves nothing for the second, and there is always a second — usually arriving while you are still rebuilding from the first.
