While your loyal subjects lack individual intelligence, you can sacrifice them to build chains of taverns and roads to impose order on chaos\. Ready to invade? Build some high\-velocity catapults to launch your minions directly into battle\. Balance expansion and consolidation carefully to grow your empire into enemy territory and gain dominance over the toroid\. Or cleverly engineer feedback loops to surprise your opponents with overwhelming force\. Five Gameplay Modes     Siegecraft  \- lay siege to foreign strongholds while surrounding your own castle with a maze of defenses     Migration  \- battle for the last habitable land as you flee from an unstoppable horde of undead     Capture the Banner  \- sneak troops into the enemy base to steal their flag… but herding it back to your base is harder than it looks     King of the Plateau  \- secure your sovereign right to territory by flooding it with as many of your subjects as possible     WAAAAAR\!\!  \- wage plain old deathmatch warfare   Singleplayer and Online Multiplayer Battle 3 friends in all 5 game modes and practice your foreign diplomacy: forge alliances and then conveniently forget them at the most inconvenient times >\_> Short, Satisfying Matches The average match is designed to last about 15 minutes\.
