Getting started
Step
When you first load in, you choose where your country starts on the map. If you are brand new, a private server is the best place to learn because no other players can attack you there. Once you feel ready, public servers are where the real competition happens.
- Pick your server decide between a public server for competition or a free private server to learn at your own pace.
- Choose your starting position look at the countries already on the map before you commit to a spot.
- Learn the controls practice moving the camera, zooming in and out, and navigating the map.
Early expansion without overreaching
Tips
The opening phase of a match is about building a solid base rather than chasing as much land as possible. Pushing too far too fast puts you at risk of being attacked from several directions at once.
- Secure your starting area fully before pushing outward.
- Watch neighboring countries for a while before deciding whether to attack or befriend them.
- Keep your territory compact — a tight shape is far easier to defend than a stretched-out one.
Territory shapes that are easy to defend
Table
The shape of your country changes how hard it is for enemies to attack you. Long, thin strips of land can be hit from multiple sides, while compact or naturally bordered territory forces attackers to approach from fewer angles. Islands and peninsulas are especially strong because they limit the directions enemies can come from.
| Compact shape | hard to surround, easier to reinforce |
| Long thin strip | exposed on multiple sides, difficult to defend |
| Island or peninsula | natural borders cut down the number of attack angles |
Surviving attacks and picking your battles
Check
When an enemy pushes into your land, take a second to assess the situation before reacting. Fighting a country that is clearly more powerful than you is rarely worth it. Alliances with friendly countries can take pressure off you when things get rough.
- Check whether the attacking country is stronger than you before committing to a counterattack.
- Look at your territory shape if it is stretched thin, fix that before the next fight.
- Make sure you have at least one allied or friendly country nearby that can support you.

Common questions
FAQCan free players actually conquer the whole world?
Yes. Premium only increases the rate at which you earn cash — every other part of the game works the same for free players.
What should I do if I keep losing to stronger countries?
Start by looking at your territory's shape — if it is long and thin, you are giving enemies too many ways in. Build alliances so you are not fighting alone. If the public server you are on feels too tough, start fresh on a free private server.
