Play from your web browser or your phone. Control your army by loading up a page and filling in the numbers. Simple as that.

The basic economy is simple, with the following core elements making up the bulk of the gameplay:

• Turn: The unit of time. Every 30 minutes, another turn passes.
• Attack Turn: The basic unit of attacking. One is given to you every 30 minutes. You use attack turns to probe or attack other players.
• Gold: The only monetary unit in the game. Gold is made every 30 minutes whether you are online or not. Gold can be stolen from you at any time. Use gold to increase your defenses to try to stop losing your gold.
• Soldier: The fundamental infantry unit. Soldiers make gold for your army (or someone else, if you don't spend it), and are used in battle.
• Credit: A credit is a token you earn which is good for one soldier. Credits can be earned by completing any action in the game that requires a CAPTCHA response (the image with the number buttons next to it). You can either use them for yourself to get more soldiers, or send them to someone else as payment for deeds done.
• Weapon: Weapons are used by soldiers to perform their particular actions: attacking, defending, spying, sabotaging, or intercepting covert missions. Weapons are a necessity, as the bare unarmed soldiers can't do much.

Your army's actions are divided into a few main areas:

• Recruiter: Use this to earn credits rapidly. Each number correctly clicked corresponds to another credit. Auto-saving mode is a way to stockpile credits you earn here. By default, your credits are made immediately available (clickable) so that you gain soldiers more quickly from your clicks.
• Armory: Buy weapons and attack/defense upgrades here. Weapons are what your soldiers need in order to be effective in battle.
• Training: Train soldiers to make them more effective, upgrade your covert skill, or build up your automatic unit production so that you gain more soldiers each day. Protect your recruited soldiers from dying by hiring mercenaries, who will then become your front line of offense and defense.
• Battlefield: Scout the land to search for gold to pillage. From the Battlefield:
  • Attack: Travel to another player's base and attempt to beat their defense and steal their gold.
  • Recon: Send a covert operative to sneak through somebody's base and find out their stats, so that you will know if you can beat them.
  • Sabotage: Destroy some of your target's weaponry. If a player is stepping over your boundaries and all other avenues of communication have failed, sabotage is one way to get your point across. Sometimes the best defense is a good offense!
• Alliances: Seek out help from a group of players that suits you, or forge your own alliance, get your friends to join, and lead them all to greatness.
