Deploy troops from the deck — they march to the CLASH and auto-fight. Spend Supply (regenerates; upgrade the Supply Depot to grow it).

The FRONT LINE (top bar) is the game. Its seam surges toward the enemy when you win the clash. You can only damage a throne once you drive the line onto it — breach and hold, not a lucky poke.

Overextension: troops shoved deep past the line take extra damage (thin supply). Comeback: when the line is on your throne, your troops get cheaper & faster — the fight stays alive.

Three factions, each plays differently: Iron Legion (wall & fortify), Bloodhorde (rush & bleed), Sky Ascendancy (flyers & artillery). RPS: Iron > Blood > Sky > Iron. Pick your counter on the map.

War Banner fills as you win the clash. Rally = defensive hold; Charge = big push, but if it fails to advance the line it backfires into a Morale Break. Timing matters.

Supply Convoy walks from your throne to the front — get it there for a war-buff, lose it and get starved.

Conquer territories to earn Warlord favor. Spend it in the War Room to level troops, unlock factions, and buy faction tech.
