Player versus player
The game itself is in French for now.
The world shared between players has just opened, in alpha test: you can see the other players' cities there, but you cannot fight each other yet. These rules will apply when battles between players arrive; today, you defend your city against the raiders of the game world.
Defending your city
Raiders sometimes march on your city: their red bubble appears at the top, on the right. Intercept them with an army, or let your garrison and your walls receive them. The Provost's Hall garrisons heroes; walls and their towers are laid section by section.
Battles between players
Against another player, it is hero against hero on the board. During that battle, no one else can attack you; afterwards, you have 10 seconds of immunity. Placement and each of your turns last 30 seconds at most: once that time is up, the battle begins, or your troop defends itself.
Rallies
For a barbarian camp, a dungeon or a wonder, open a rally: up to 10 armies set out together (5 in a dungeon).
Nations and wonders
Players of the same nation fight together. A wonder held by your nation grants its favor to all of its players. Coming soon: rankings and wars for the wonders.
Guilds
All players live in the same world. A guild brings together up to 50 governors, from every nation: found yours (a name and a tag of 2 to 4 letters, shown on the map next to your city) or join one (Guild button, « Guilde »). The leader appoints the officers; officers accept requests and can remove a member.
Chats
The bar at the bottom left opens the Chats (« Discussions »): General (everyone), Nation (the players of your nation), Guild and Private. To write to a player, touch their name in a chat, their city on the world map, or ✉ in your guild. A name's menu also lets you ignore a player or report a message. The window moves by its title and minimizes with “–”.
The shop
Sapphires (at the top, next to the resources) are earned by playing: 500 when you found your city, 10, 20 and 50 in the daily task chests, 5 per advisor mission. The shop (« Boutique ») trades them for speed-ups, resource packs, gold, forge shards and scrolls; a daily offer at −40%.
