About this app
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!

The game is a perfect 2D war game. The thing is with the upgrade. Surely has something with the story, but without the upgrade, it's pretty difficult. The mechanics are neat, I do like the feature where we can switch a character since we really don't have our own character. (I mean it's a strategy game.) The only problem I see is having custom matches without purchasing upgrade. There's only Past and Present and can only change the map which is a huge downside. Although the game is great.

This is a pretty cool game. It was hard at times, which made me rage. But I finally completed the game the zombies were mainly not to difficult since they are slow can't use weapons like a gun to shoot your team. I used a strategy to be able to beat the game. Anyways good work!!! P.S I didn't even need to buy the gamepass to beat the game lol. I used a strategy by after defeating the present as the past, when the future come to take over I joined them killed em, betrayed them, then became past.

(Im changing my comment after buying the upgrade). Without the upgrade, the game is mediocre at most. It also might get repetitve and/or boring. However, the upgrade makes the game amazing. It's so fun to recreate classic battles or create your own battles with the battle mode. Also the "future" is very overpowered, which they should be. And its fun going back in time as a futuristic robot exterminating tribes. I heard there's zombies in this game too, but i havent unlocked them yet. Also, thanks so much for improving the team combat, I hates how in supercity, you would always accidentally hit your teammate in battle, so thanks for fixing that. But anyways, go ahead and pay the $2.99 it's very worth it. Great game Mat, some people just don't realize how much of a gem this is.

Apparently if you misclicked when somebody says "Are you trying to kill us BOTH!" and accidentally say "I want to change teams!" it actually switches your team permanently for the entire game and I don't know if there is something to do to switch back, but I don't want to be on the enemy's team. I'm literally at the part with zombies and now I have to do everything all over again because of a misclick. Please add something to switch teams more than once, something simple like in the pause menu.

This game is great, but recently I've been having a problem, when ever i get in a game, and attack someplace, the game glitches out and stuff bugs around the screen, and never starts the battle. Really sucks its a good games, but explaining controls should be added, like someone who hasn't played hard time, or school days, or anypast experience with these games, is going to really struggle

In the middle of a battle, someone will pop off with some useless information forcing me to zoom in on them and lose control. It doesnt even pause the game, letting enemies get the upper hand all because your team won't shut up. After the match, you should be looking for weapons and bones. Instead, you sit around shaking hands and hugging the entire time. It's infuriating. The animals are completely random and will seemingly target you no matter what. As for it being hard, it's not that hard
