How the war works
TAKEOVER is one permanent 11×11 battlefield — 121 territories. Any brand can claim unclaimed land: outer territory starts at $3, the inner ring at $5, and the Capital at the center starts at $10.
Ownership is permanent until someone pays the takeover price: at least $2 more than the last price, or 20% higher — whichever is greater. Every conquest raises the stakes forever. The conquered get no refund; they get a grudge and a retake button.
Everything is public: the live map, every battle, every price, every empire’s history. Prices are set by the server, payments run through Stripe, and one payment can only ever win one territory.
Founding territories were placed at launch to show how empires look. They are labeled, cost $0, never count in money statistics, and are just as attackable as anything else.
