In the course of the game the player develops his/her city economically and builds an army to protect his/her country from aggressive neighbors. In the beginning the player’s army is small, and he/she tries to keep the fragile peace with other nations. But at length he/she becomes strong enough to attack and conquer those, who once were a menace to his/her land. The game features strong economic and military elements.
