Keys: Spacebar – opens up a menu. You may adjust volume or choose to return to main menu – the option to exit to main menu does not appear in Phase One.

TLDR: This game is light in management and light in tactics. It would do great as a flash-era free game, but not worth your time nor money. Like a grindy RPG, you constantly level up after each victory, and the path to victory is to have more Pokemons generals than your AI opponents.

City Management Phase – You may improve your city by attracting population – that’s all. You may choose to fortify your city but the benefits are unknown.
Talent Management – Keep bugging your captives till they agree to join you.
Deployment Phase – This is where you adjust your troops, hire, and watch as a full year goes by.
Combat – Tactics matter little. Always bring more generals and more troops than your opponent. Somehow, 90% of your troops will die after each engagement, so having a greater number of generals is more important.
