How To Play

Clear victory decisions and matching campaign credits.

• Territory and team victories display their actual result. The allies heading appears only when your remaining opponents are allies.
• Campaign credits replay your victory commitment correctly, including the decision to risk your score and continue to total victory.
• Scores are recorded automatically when a game ends.
• Choose an attack source in either army mode; landings follow the destination you clicked. Regular mode still draws from your national troop total.
• Red invasion and yellow reinforcement rings show inbound landings. Select and drag a ring to redirect its transport to a reachable coast.
• At victory, bank your result or commit to total conquest. Your scoring time freezes at the first victory decision; cleanup time does not lower your score.
• Garrisons earns a 50% score bonus, Fog keeps its 25% bonus, and Total victory doubles the result multiplier. Risky start has no extra score bonus.
• Named seasons rank each player once by cumulative qualifying points, with total conquerors first. Lifetime qualifications and nation unlocks carry forward.
• Replay takeovers and already completed attempts are practice. Saving preserves your attempt and victory commitment.
• Opening links are ordered in the footer; How to play opens the full guide. Historical credits name the recorded player and return to a working report.
• All 4,807 dialogue lines are available: six distinct general voices, paired exchanges and expanded credits.
• Generals favor clearer, tongue-in-cheek jokes, including bots who know they came from a chat window.
• Dialogue avoids reusing the same joke mechanism within a match, with a wider choice for each event.
• Saved matches retain their earlier dialogue catalog and published wording.
• The opening screen and sidebar use the new Atlas logo, with compact territory borders.
• A territory-ownership animation marks loading in the browser tab and settles into the normal icon when ready. Reduced-motion mode keeps it static.
• Local garrisons show every area, with larger map counts and exact troop counts in the sidebar.
• Generals appear beside their credits quotes and speak in front of their country flags.
• Copy the Match ID at the end of credits and browse the latest 20 games.
• Guide artwork stays loaded while you switch between tabs.
• Shared credits wait for their battle report data before drawing.
• The battle report in campaign credits fits its contents, removing excess blank space on tall screens.
• Generals and computer-written credits use a sharper dialogue roster with clearer insults and comic twists.
• Site administrators can preview, publish and restore dialogue wording separately from game updates.
• Each match keeps its dialogue version through the final credits. Updates apply to new matches.
• Saved matches recover their published dialogue when available, with bundled dialogue as an offline fallback.
• The commander’s verdict leads the battle report, with a larger portrait, country flags, a prominent result and score, and leaderboard recognition.
• Watch campaign credits directly below the score. Credits include your battle report; share their link after the roll.
• Credits preserve your rank when posted. Current leaderboard standings can change as new results arrive.
• New, Random and Shared matches have separate opening flows. Special rules start collapsed, with Teams in the main Mode step.
• Pick your allied generals with portraits and personality descriptions. All nine generals play, and the summary shows every team.
• Selected allies are preserved by Match IDs, saves, replays and restarts. Older shared matches retain their original lineups.
• See whether your settings qualify for nation unlocks as you build the match, with reasons beside excluded choices.
• Credits song previews show loading and audio errors accurately. Preview and approval recover expired site sessions safely without losing your draft.
• Generals speak in cartoon chat bubbles with points aimed at their portraits.
• Conversations appear one reply at a time. Earlier bubbles fade but remain readable above the latest reply.
• Notification banners stack at the top center of the battlefield, with general dialogue below to prevent collisions.
• A short radio click and static announce each new speaker and follow your Master and SFX volume and mute settings.
• Shared Match IDs now clearly load a starting setup for a new attempt. Choose your country from the summary before starting; use a replay to watch the original battle.
• Copying your current setup no longer replaces the Match ID you pasted.
• Credits name the generals who actually commanded your opponents while preserving the original credits quotes.
• Find all nine general profiles under Opponents in the website menu.
• General dialogue uses plainer language, more direct jokes and six distinct personalities.
