How to play

Gold

Miners dig gold in front of your statue. More miners, more army, but every miner takes a place in your army of 500.

Train

Pick a tab, then a card, or press 1–5. Hold Shift to train five. Tab switches tabs. Right-click a card to cancel. Hover a card to see what it beats.

Orders

Attack A charges their statue. Hold H guards the blue flag (drag it). Retreat R hides everyone behind your statue, where nothing can touch them.

Groups

Give each kind a group in the Formation panel F, then pick a group before an order. Flank L sends riders past the line to archers and siege. Guard G watches the mines.

Scout

You only see what your soldiers see. The enemy panel remembers what you have spotted. Scouts see far and uncover assassins. The enemy warns before a big charge.

Take command

Click one of your soldiers to fight as him: ← → move, Space strike, Q let go. He hits much harder in your hands.

Forge

Upgrades U sharpen blades, strengthen shields, speed the army, and more. Build towers and a palisade on your plots.

Terrain

Archers on a hill shoot further and harder. Rivers slow everyone except those on the bridge.

Camera

← →, drag the field, wheel, or click the minimap. Esc pauses.

Who beats whom Pikes stop horses and elephants. Shields turn arrows; crossbow bolts punch through shields. Hoplites lock into a wall; flank it or smash it. Giants and elephants scatter crowds; massed archers bring them down. Catapults break towers and statues but die to anything close. Shamans stop your healing. Assassins hunt miners until seen.
