About the game
The game is a territory-building strategy game where players expand, manage resources, construct infrastructure, and defend against rivals. Success depends on more than fast expansion: a stable economy, sensible factory placement, protected borders, and a flexible response to the map all matter. This fan-made wiki explains the systems players ask about most, from early-game build orders and money management to ports, railroads, warships, custom maps, and patch changes.
