Command Support & Help

Beginner Protection: Every newly registered commander enjoys automatic 72-hour Beginner Peace Protection (or up to 14 days on 1x tactical speed depending on shard settings). During this period, your settlements cannot be attacked or scouted, allowing you to develop baseline industrial infrastructure and train defensive militia.

40-Slot Settlement Core: Each settlement features 18 outer industrial resource fields and 22 inner city building plots (including central Command Hub, Walls, and Rally Points). Upgrading your Command Hub unlocks specialized civic structures and speeds up all construction queues.

Settler Expedition: Expanding to a second settlement requires training three (3) Settlers in an upgraded Command Hub or Residence (Level 10 or 20) and accumulating sufficient Culture Points. Target fertile 9-cropper or 15-cropper agricultural sectors to establish your military capital.

The Four Strategic Commodities: Gray Doom balances four discrete resource types: Titanium/Composites (Building Core), Promethium/Ceramics (Industrial Energy), Deuterium/Alloys (Heavy Weaponry), and Provisions/Biomass (Troop Sustenance & Upkeep).

Warehouse & Granary Capacities: Raw production halts if storage structures reach maximum threshold. Upgrade Warehouses and Granaries to support high-tier troop recruitment and marathon construction orders.

Crop Endurance & Starvation Mechanics: Every military unit consumes provisions continuously. If hourly net crop production drops below zero and Granary reserves deplete entirely, garrisoned troops will starve chronologically until positive balance is restored.

Discrete 1-Second Arrival Boundaries: Combat operations resolve strictly on exact 1.000s server timestamps. Coordinated alliance operations can synchronize catapult demolition waves to land on second :00, while defenders slot counter-reinforcement garrisons at second :01.

Toroidal Shortest-Path Geodesics: The map wraps seamlessly on both X and Y axes. March duration calculates the shortest geodesic wrap across the torus ($D = \sqrt{\min(|x_1-x_2|, M - |x_1-x_2|)^2 + \min(|y_1-y_2|, N - |y_1-y_2|)^2}$), eliminating artificial edge boundaries.

Siege Catapults & Dual Targeting: Advanced Siege Fabricators (Level 20) enable catapult batteries to target two distinct structural coordinates simultaneously during full assaults.

Founding an Alliance: Constructing an Embassy to Level 3 allows you to establish a sovereign alliance. Upgrading Embassy levels expands maximum commander member capacity up to 60 players per alliance wing.

Shared Tactical Syntax: In-game alliance chat and dispatches support active tactical chips: [coord:X|Y] renders an interactive radar coordinate jump, and [report:ID] renders a verified cryptographic battle assessment card.

Joint Garrison Reinforcements: Alliance comrades can station stationary defensive divisions inside your bastions. Stationed troops fight under the host's defensive Wall and Command Hub bonuses.

Commander Club Features: Gold tokens activate non-combat quality-of-life perks: automated building construction queue (up to 3 queued structures), graphical crop balance finder, trade route automation, and tactical combat archives.

24/7 Hero Auction House: Unwanted hero gear and adventure consumables can be auctioned for Silver. All bidding is transparent and executed with second-precision countdowns. Silver can be converted to Gold or used to acquire Tier 3 weapons and armor.

Gold Transfer Vouchers: Remaining purchased Gold on concluded seasonal shards is automatically consolidated into a cryptographically signed voucher redeemable on any subsequent shard.

Secure Password Reset: If you forget your password, submit a recovery request via the login portal. A secure, time-limited cryptographic token will be dispatched to your registered email address.

Sitter & Dual Administration: Configure trusted Sitters in your Account Directives tab. Dual operators must authenticate using their dedicated sub-credentials; never disclose your master account password to third parties.

Multi-Factor Verification: Enable session PIN protection to safeguard Gold transactions and critical structural demolition orders from unauthorized sitter actions.
