In this game, you are tasked to build your own operations base, scour the map for valuable resources, expand your territory, and amass a bunch of troops to battle enemies and complete missions. Naturally, you can upgrade your troops and buildings, and work together with other players in alliances.However, its gameplay is not quite the same as the MMORTS games that currently flood both the social media and mobile gaming platforms. You actually have to train workers to perform the type of tasks you want. The game doesn't have an open map either, unlike games like Stormfall - it is more like Clash of Clans in this respect.
