Why it plays differently
Time dial
Pause, normal or fast. While time is paused you can still plan: queue up to three orders per unit, then press play.
Terrain sculpting
Three charges per match let you raise or flatten tiles to make chokepoints, walls and shortcuts. The island can never be split in two.
A foe that reads your army
The enemy counts your units and builds the counter. Mix your army or be countered.
One island a day
Every day has a seed. Everybody plays the same island, and you can share your stars and time as a link.
Replay coach
After each match the coach looks at what happened and gives up to three specific tips, like “cavalry killed 4 of your archers”.
Pocket 3D diorama
A real 3D island you can rotate and zoom, built to run on ordinary phones. Free, offline, no account.
