He builds a base, produces units, and fights against enemy armies. But we created a 100% new game world that brings fresh colors to the classical game-play. Subjection of all parts of the game’s world to the real physical laws: water, buildings, units, resources, landscape, everything behaves like it should in life. Fair terra-morphing. Shifting combat operations between sea bottom and surface. Destructive forces of nature. All these
