1-COM1132

Turn-based game of up to 18 turns (one turn equals one year) with a typical game being five to six turns. Approximately 80 to 100 battles will happen in that time. A Battle Point Game lasts 4 to 6 hours (variable turn length based on player agreement) while a Campaign Game can last up to 5 to 20 hours depending on the skills of the players. Victory occurs when one Alliance conquers the other by either achieving a Capital Victory (capturing key enemy territories) or a Battle Points Victory (based on favorable outcomes and achievements made during game play). The map is divided into land and sea territories with different economic values, Capital Cities, and Sea Ports.
