What you'll play
Two ways to rule
Every season blends slow-burn city planning with fast, tactile combat. Pick your pace — or master both.
Live Season Warfare
Join a 200-player server every Monday 7:00 PM AEST. Coordinate real-time sieges, hold chokepoints, and climb the ladder. Seasons reset every 6 weeks with fresh maps and heroes.
PvP · 200 players · Weekly reset
Alliance Command
Form a 30-member alliance, assign officer roles, and run coordinated trade convoys. Shared research trees let your guild specialise in defence, raiding, or economy.
Co-op · Up to 30 members
Hero Workshop
Collect 48 heroes with distinct skill trees and craft gear from salvaged battle loot. Respec freely between matches — no premium currency needed to experiment.

What the barracks are saying
“I came for the city builder and stayed for the Monday-night sieges. My alliance holds a Discord call and we coordinate convoys in real time — it's the most fun I've had on my phone in years.”
“The respec-anytime hero system is a gift. I can test a defensive build before a big fight without grinding premium currency. Balance patches actually land every fortnight too.”
“Runs buttery smooth on my three-year-old Samsung. Battery drain is honest and the offline campaign kept me busy on the whole Melbourne-to-Sydney train.”
