What is Expansion, the battle for territories

Claim your corner of the map and watch your empire grow. Expansion, the battle for territories is a strategic duel of placement and patience.

How to Play

Click or tap on your territories and drag to place units onto adjacent empty or enemy-controlled zones. The more zones you control, the faster your army replenishes, so prioritize chokepoints and high-value land.

Tips for Playing

Always save a small reserve force to defend your core territories from sudden raids.
Focus on claiming contiguous land early to link your defenses and simplify reinforcement.
Watch the map edge — pushing too far from your base can leave your rear exposed.
Use feints: appear to attack one front while secretly building up on another.
When you have a lead, shift from expansion to consolidation to avoid overreach.
