Build and Conquer Guides: Start a Country
Begin with a manageable settlement, understand the country loop, then choose whether the next goal concerns cooperation or mainland territory. These Build and Conquer guides connect the opening plot to the decisions that follow it, with different reading paths for your first city and your first outward commitment.

Starting a Build and Conquer country
Watch a gameplay example alongside the country-planning guides below.
Choose the country question before the guide
For an opening session, I would start with a small country you can understand rather than a full-plot capital. The beginner guide covers that first planning decision; How To Play explains the wider relationship between construction, management, research, manufacturing and war. They answer different questions, so choose the one that fits your stage.
Once the home-country loop is clear, alliances and strategic areas give the military an outward purpose. Read the cooperation guide when the question is a shared objective, or the territory guide when the question is what to prepare before a mainland commitment. Keep the city behind the campaign part of the same country plan.
