FIELD MANUAL

REVISION 2026.10
COMMAND FUNDAMENTALS01

Deploy. Harvest. Overrun.

Your Mobile Construction Vehicle deploys into a Construction Yard. Build a power plant, then an ore refinery to spawn a free harvester. Ore is your only meaningful income: protect miners and expand toward new fields.

The tech ladder

Power supports refineries and barracks. Refineries support factories. Factories support radar, airbases and battle labs. A battle lab unlocks advanced armor, aircraft and your superweapon structure.

Combined arms

Infantry screen and capture. Tanks break lines. Artillery erases defenses. Anti-air keeps the sky honest. Engineers capture enemy structures and repair friendly ones. Yuri engineers consume themselves on use.

Victory

Destroy every hostile structure and unit. In team games, eliminate every opposing team. Build a superweapon structure and finish a long war with one decisive strike.

FIELD ECONOMY03

Ore and gems

Gold ore is common and reliable. Violet gems are richer and contested. Harvesters fill their hopper, return to a refinery, and unload credits. A second refinery yields another free miner and a wider collection front.

Power discipline

Low power slows production, defenses and superweapon charging. Build power before upgrades or your command net will choke.

Logistics

Service depots repair armor and aircraft at credit cost. Repair structures from the command bar. Sell obsolete structures for half their value. Engineers can repair damaged structures instantly but are consumed.

Intel

Radar structures restore the minimap and detect stealth. Stealth armor cloaks while stationary. Build radar or stay blind.

FACTION BRIEFS04

AEGIS COALITION

Hover MBTs, cloaking rail tanks, chain-beam arrays, VTOL and bombers. Defenses are rapid Vulcan guns and long-range Lance towers. Superweapon: orbital kinetic lance.

IRON DIRECTORATE

Heavy tracked Bison and Hammer armor, V3 rocket artillery, arc troopers, flak, attack drones and airships. Defense: Arc Coil and Flak Cannon. Superweapon: strategic missile.

VORTEX SYNDICATE

Fast Lashers, psychic Magnetrons, mind-controlling Masterminds, hover discs and psychic bombers. Cloning Vats duplicate infantry. Superweapon: psychic domination.

COMMANDER'S NOTE

Never send an army without anti-air. Never leave a refinery without a miner. Never allow an enemy superweapon to finish charging unanswered.
