01 / THE WORLD

The whole world.
Within reach.

Command one of 171 nations across around 1,700 provinces. Zoom continuously from orbit down to a soldier, through relief, cities, forests and clouds.

02 / THE ARMIES

One command.
Every front.

Coordinate 24 unit types on land, in the air and at sea. Launch amphibious landings and air bridges. Intelligence comes from the fog of war, radar and satellites.

03 / THE RESEARCH

Your choices.
Your doctrine.

62 technologies across seven research trees. 144 unit upgrades: three tiers per unit, with a permanent choice between two variants at each tier. Choose one exclusive doctrine per service.

04 / THE STRIKES

Reach beyond
the frontline.

Tactical and intercontinental missiles. Kamikaze drone swarms. Cyber sabotage and hijacking of enemy drones. Plan the strike. Anticipate the response.

05 / THE ESCALATION

The order that
changes everything.

Tactical, strategic and thermonuclear warheads. Anti-missile shields. Nuclear warfare brings a different scale to the conflict.

Three images. A single, brief light transition; no strobing.

02 / COMBINED ARMS
