How a battle works

Engineers haul supply from depots. Your two home depots run dry after two or three minutes, so the fight moves to the large contested depots in the middle of the map.

Spend supply to train units, then give the whole army one order: back to the HQ, defend, hold the midfield or attack.

Hold the midfield alone for 25 seconds and your artillery shells the enemy HQ. Destroy the enemy HQ to win. At twelve minutes both HQs start to burn, so every battle ends.

Tap any soldier, or press Tab, to fight as them yourself, with extra damage and faster fire.
