About the Game

How Will You Lead?

The future of your nation rests in your hands. Pass laws, appoint ministers, shape public opinion, and navigate crises as competing factions, political rivals, and powerful institutions challenge your authority.

  • Imperialism / Royal Traditionalism – Monarchy, tradition, hierarchy, and national heritage.

  • Proletariat Movement – Worker-led government focused on equality and collective ownership.

  • Ultra national Front – National unity, strength, security, and cultural identity above all.

  • Free Civic Democracy – Democratic governance, civil liberties, and political pluralism.

  • Corporate Syndicalism – State and industry working together to drive prosperity and national development.

  • Theocratic Order – Government guided by faith, religious law, and spiritual authority.

  • Or Forge Your Own Path – Create a government unlike any other.

Every decision shapes your nation's future and determines how history will remember your leadership.

Build an Economy

Manage a living economy driven by resources, industry, trade, and infrastructure. Expand your nation's prosperity, secure strategic resources, and navigate difficult trade-offs as you balance growth, stability, and national ambition. Every economic decision affects your nation's prosperity, stability, and ability to project power.

  • Extract oil, natural gas, coal, steel, food, and other valuable resources.

  • Develop mines, farms, industries, and energy production.

  • Build roads, railways, ports, and critical infrastructure.

  • Negotiate trade agreements and secure access to foreign markets.

  • Balance spending on healthcare, education, welfare, defense, and research.

  • Manage shortages, debt, inflation, and economic crises.

  • Invest in long-term growth or prioritize immediate political goals. 

  • Build a self-sufficient economy or rely on global trade networks.


Fight Battles

Command your nation's military and shape the course of wars through strategy, preparation, and decisive leadership. Recruit divisions, modernize your military, develop new doctrines, and plan large-scale operations on a hex-based battle map. Every battle takes place on a battlefield uniquely crafted to reflect the terrain of the region where the conflict occurs, creating authentic tactical challenges across mountains, plains, forests, deserts, and beyond.

Who Will You Trust?

Politics is a game of allies, rivals, and hidden agendas. Build coalitions, negotiate treaties, support foreign governments, conduct espionage, or undermine your enemies from within. Every leader has ambitions, every nation has interests, and today's ally may become tomorrow's greatest threat.


Expand Your Influence

Project your power beyond your borders through diplomacy, economic pressure, covert operations, or military conquest. Annex territory, establish client states, support friendly regimes, or build a sphere of influence that reshapes the balance of power.

Forge Your Legacy

In Council & Conflict, every decision matters. Nations rise and fall, alliances form and collapse, economies boom and falter, and wars reshape the balance of power. There is no single path to victory and no scripted story to follow. Every campaign creates its own history, driven by your choices and the consequences that follow. The question is not whether you can change the world. It is what kind of world you will leave behind.
