Not just colors on a map.

One world map of more than 100 million cells. Six rules decide who holds it.

  1. 01 / Homeland

    One country. One team.

    Pick your Homeland. It can't be changed. Everyone who picks it is on your team, and even if your country loses every cell, it can still fight to take them back.

  2. 02 / Territory

    Capture. Defend. Retake.

    Break into a foreign country from its outer edge, then push inland through cells joined up, down, left or right. Diagonals don't count. Your own homeland can be retaken from any cell.

  3. 03 / Economy

    Every capture has a cost.

    Captures cost Supply, starting at 100. A fresh capture is protected for 30 minutes. Take it again within 24 hours and the price doubles; after 72 hours it halves (minimum 200).

  4. 04 / Battlefields

    Fronts emerge from conflict.

    Where hostile captures pile up, a Front appears on its own. It escalates from Live to Heavy to Critical, and it can grow, move, merge and split.

  5. 05 / Coordination

    Form a Unit. Set a Rally Point.

    Join one Unit with players from your Homeland. Commanders set Rally Points for attack and defense to focus everyone on the same ground.

  6. 06 / Season

    Three months. One final map.

    A season lasts about three months. When the war ends, the final world map is preserved online as the record of what every country fought for.
