Quick-start Guide

This guide is designed for people who want to play, but don't want to spend time reading the manual. This page will tell you everything you need to know. To make it both interesting and suitably brief, it will be presented entirely in Haiku.

the strong rock withstands the siege.
Left-click to build them.

he with more support will win.
Support your armies.

Right-click Menu

try something unexpected.

Alliances

If misfortune comes,
a land divided is lost.
Find some strong allies.

Spies

Spies are critical,
your eyes in other Houses.
They are worth the price.

A Word of Warning

Though playing is fun,
a truly great commander
reads the manual.
