01 / THE GUIDE
Administration – City Development
In Administration, players freely develop cities, shaping the economic and military foundations of their kingdom. This management layer lets you allocate resources and plan your cities' growth.
City development can shape your position for later battles, since Battle is where strategies and traps decide the outcome. The open‑ended nature encourages strategic foresight and long‑term planning.
- Consider balancing civilian and military investments to sustain both growth and defense.
- Observe how city upgrades affect troop availability in upcoming battles.

Battle – Strategic Combat
Battle mode focuses on intellectual confrontations, where players employ strategies and traps to outwit opponents. Success relies on positioning, timing, and the effective use of available units.
The 3D presentation adds visual depth, but the core remains a strategic contest of tactics rather than pure force.
- Experiment with different trap placements to discover effective combos.
- Study opponent patterns to anticipate their strategic moves.

Duels – Quick‑Paced 3D Challenges
Duels have evolved into fast‑paced challenges displayed in impressive 3D. These encounters test reflexes and decision‑making under pressure, contrasting the slower strategic layers.
Each duel pits individual units against each other, emphasizing quick tactical choices rather than broad army management.
