Travel back in time to rule the world 1,000 years in advance!

When an army travels back in time to rule the world 1,000 years in advance, they get more than they bargained for from their primitive counterparts! Lead the resistance with hundreds of warriors from different cultures all over the world. Focus on one individual or step back to command an entire army at your fingertips. Combining world-dominating strategy with fully interactive battles, this game offers the best of both worlds! And just when you think it's over, history might just repeat itself...

UPGRADES

The game is mostly free to play, but you can upgrade to take control of your experience - choosing which side and how much territory to start with. You can also blow off steam with fantasy battles between any 2 cultures - and as many warriors as your device can handle! For what it's worth, you can also edit every character in the world - but please note that this game uses up to 1,000 of them that are regularly replaced.

CONTROLS

When controlling a specific character, this game offers either the "Classic" 1-handed control system or "Dual Wield" where each hand is controlled separately. If you are not already familiar with these from previous games in the series, you can pause the action at any time by hitting the dateline and then study the "Controls" guide. Also look out for in-game hints from scrolls or books that you can read.

In this game, you can change which member of the team you are controlling at any time by either tapping the health meter or literally pointing to them on the battlefield. By tapping the arrows at the bottom of the screen, you can also activate "Commander" mode where you step back and direct any active member of your team by simply swiping from their location to another. Whether you intend them to relocate, fight an enemy, or pick up an object, they will try to make sense of your instructions. But please bear in mind that they can only do so at their convenience and may have other priorities!

Whatever device or control method you are using, you can always zoom in or out by pinching at the centre of the screen.

MAP

The main "Campaign" game mode requires you to increase your territory by moving units from one area to any connected one. You can either "fortify" an existing territory or attempt to seize a rival territory. Note that only 50% of the units in a territory will be available to travel - which necessarily makes it harder to invade than it is to defend.

The population of any inhabited territory may grow after each round, so it is important to control as many as possible. Notice that units will also gradually heal over time, so it is a good idea to work with different locations each turn.

PERFORMANCE

Please note that this is the largest scale game I have made yet, and may require a high-end device to run at 100%. Consider keeping the "Population" low to reduce the number of characters on screen, or tone down other features in the "Display" options.

I regret there is more to this game than I could ever explain here, so I hope you enjoy figuring some things out for yourself!

Units

There are a variety of different units that players can build and use in Back Wars. Each unit has its own unique strengths and weaknesses, and players must carefully consider which units to build and how to use them in order to win the game.

Some of the most common units in Back Wars include:

* Infantry: Infantry are the basic unit in Back Wars. They are relatively weak, but they are also cheap to build and can be upgraded to become more powerful.

* Tanks: Tanks are powerful units that can deal a lot of damage. They are also relatively durable, but they are expensive to build and can be slow to move.

* Artillery: Artillery units can attack from a distance, making them ideal for attacking enemy units that are behind cover. They are also relatively powerful, but they are slow to move and can be vulnerable to attack from infantry.

* Air units: Air units can fly over obstacles and attack enemy units from the air. They are also relatively fast, but they are expensive to build and can be vulnerable to attack from anti-air units.

Resources

Players must carefully manage their resources in order to build and upgrade their units effectively. There are two main resources in Back Wars:

* Metal: Metal is used to build new units and upgrade existing units. Metal can be mined from metal deposits on the map.

* Energy: Energy is used to power units and buildings. Energy can be generated from power plants on the map.

Players must carefully balance their production of metal and energy in order to build and maintain a strong army.

Diplomacy

Diplomacy is an important part of Back Wars. Players can form alliances with other players in order to share resources, coordinate attacks, and defend each other from enemies. Diplomacy can be a powerful tool for winning the game, but it can also be difficult to maintain.

Players must carefully consider the pros and cons of forming alliances with other players. Alliances can be beneficial, but they can also lead to conflict if the players involved have different goals.
