About the Game

This is a RTS strategy where grow and expand your empire around the map, harvest resources, and create a powerful army to destroy your enemies.

You can play with your friends, strangers online through steam multiplayer, or against enemy computers. Every 60 seconds, you are dealt a random selection of cards. These cards are to be placed down and used in the game. Cards can be anything from a worker that fishes food for your empire, an archer that can attack enemies from a far, a tower that attack enemies within a certain radius, a fireball that can shot against an enemy empire or explosive destruction, and much much more

Workers can gather food, cut woods, or mine gold (depending on the card you are drawn). You should plan according in terms of your future army you want to build, but also be taking into consideration the enemy units coming towards you, and the enviroment around you. If there is lots of trees, it might be a good idea to place LumberJack cards to cut lots of logs so you can place tower, buildings, and other defences for your empire.

You can control units individually, but select and commanding them. You can mode them around through the shadows, where your enemy cannot see, and flank accordingly. But if your enemy cannot see you in the shadow, that also means you cannot see the enemies in the shadows, so be sure to scout!

This game mixes strategy, management, and luck. Sometimes you made be dealt expensive cards you currently cannot afford, or somtimes you'll be dealt weak ealier tier units that dont make much of an effect at the current time of the game, You have to make what you have work, to create a strong and powerful empire to defeat your foes.
