Main Menu
This tab contains basic information and displays any news related to your country.
- Recent News Example
- 1.5 Hours Ago
- A brigade from Land Hungry (#123) has invaded your lands! Their army broke through your defenses and took 137 acres and 76 buildings, and destroyed 55 buildings. They also took $2,918, 0 bushels and 19 technology points. You lost 56 Troops, 3518 Turrets and 73 Tanks, but killed 12,800 Jets.
- 2.6 Hours Ago
- You sold 20,000 Bushels for $676,800.
- 32,042 Bushels remain for sale.
- GDI
On this page you may join GDI, or Global Defense Initiative. This ensures that no country more than twice your size or less than half your size can attack you without declaring war, most useful for protection against much larger opponents trying to capture your land. GDI costs $3 acre of land per turn as long as you are a member.
- Foreign Aid
You may send up to 10% of your assets to another country. You must have some formal relations with that county (see relations below) and a FA package takes 3 turns to send. You may send an FA package once every 22 hours.
- Top Players
Displays the Top 25 players in the server.
- Preferences
In Preferences, you can set your country Vacation Mode if you will be unable to play for a period of time. This page also includes information about how to link your country's information with a 3rd Party Site, usually hosted by a clan or tag.
Advisor
This page displays detailed information about your country. Most of this information can be found in other tabs, but the Advisor conveniently puts it all in one place.
Manage
The Manage page is where you change your country's government, tax rate and set the type and percentage of units to be built by your Industrial Complexes.
Purchase/Build/Cash/Explore/Market/Research
Purchases
Here you can buy or sell items on your Private Market. Typically Public Market prices to purchase goods will be lower, unless you are running a strategy that takes advantage of Military Bases and Military Tech, thus lowering the PM price.
- Sell Military
Selling bushels on your Private Market is useful if you don't want to or cannot wait for your bushels to sell on the Public Market. This cash can be used to fund building at the very start of your country, when income is very low.
Build
This page is used to construct buildings on your country's empty acres.
- Destroy Buildings
Used to destroy buildings for converting your government type or when you have attacked another country and captured buildings that are outside of your country's specialty.
Cash
Here you may use turns and receive a 20% boost in income per turn. Typically used by cashers and farmers who are stockpiling, you will want to avoid cashing at the beginning of the game unless it is absolutely necessary.
Explore
This tab lets you explore for new acres. You notice the more turns you spend exploring, the less acres you discover per turn. Some countries will explore all game while some will stop exploring and seek to capture land from other countries when the explore rate starts to get low.
Market
The Market lets you buy/sell Military, Bushels, Oil and Technology from/to other countries on the server.
Research
You may improve your country's effectiveness by researching Technology. It is most efficient to build large amounts of labs and research, or build zero labs and simply buy your technology from the market.
Military/Relations/Spy Center/War Room
Military
Shows the status of your military forces. If you have sent forces on Planned Strikes this page will tell you how long until your military returns from battle as well as your overall military Readiness.
Relations
On this screen you may send and accept offers of various pacts such as Defense, Offense, Research, Intelligence, or Trade.
Spy Center
The tab allows you to perform covert operations on other countries using your spies. Success depends on your SPAL (spies per acre of land) in relation to that of your opponent. The most common Spy Operation is "Spy" which can be used to find detailed information on another country. Harmful Spy Ops (any that cause damage or loss of resources) are usually considered acts of war.
War Room
In the War Room, military forces are selected to attack other countries in the server. You will mostly use this room to perform Standard and Planned Strikes to capture land and grow your country. Guerrilla Strikes, Bombing Runs, Artillery Barrages and Missile Strikes are considered War Attacks and will usually be met with similar attacks against you by your opponents.
Messages/News/Scores/Search
Messages
This screen is used to communicate with other countries in the server. It is best to keep conversations civil, though you may not receive the same courtesy. Profanity and other inappropriate content in messages may result in action from game moderators.
News
The News displays recent attacks happening in the server. You may use the advanced features of News to search for countries and attacks during specific time frames.
