Real-world strategy
Groundwar turns the map around you into a war for territory. Capture strongholds at real places nearby, march on other cities, and hold your ground against the players next door.
The game
Zones anchor to real locations. Wherever you go, the map comes with you, and so does the fight for it.
Capture
Strongholds sit on real places in your neighborhood. Scan them, take them, and hold them while players nearby try to take them back.
March
Send marches across your city or across the country. Once units deploy, they're gone for good, so read the map before you commit your army.
Recruit
Lost units don't come back, so your recruitment queue keeps you in the war. Train Fodder, Reavers and Bulwarks plus your faction's special unit, and build the mix that counters what you scan.
Hold
Territory you control generates resources around the clock. Expand your holdings, fund your war, and climb the prestige ladder.
Contracts
Take contracts to capture enemy strongholds, repel pillagers, hunt down convoys, and reinforce your own or your allies' strongholds.

Each faction plays to a different strength. Pick a side and commit: it's very hard to change once you enlist.
