🎯 Objective

Conquer all territories on the map by defeating the AI opponent. You win when you control every territory!

🔄 Game Flow

The game has two phases:

1. Placement - Answer capital questions to claim territories
2. Attack - Take turns attacking enemy territories (you and AI alternate)

⚔️ Combat System

This is where knowledge replaces luck!

When You Attack:

1. Click one of your territories (must have 2+ troops)
2. Click an adjacent enemy territory
3. Choose your Challenge Level:

Battle Resolution:

• You answer a geography question
• Correct: Convert enemy troops to your color
• Wrong: Lose your troops (same amount)
• Risk equals reward!

🛡️ AI's Turn

After you attack, the AI takes its turn:

• AI chooses a territory to attack
• AI picks a question difficulty (based on AI level)
• You must answer to defend!
• Correct answer = successful defense, AI loses troops
• Wrong answer = AI captures your troops

Tip: The harder the AI difficulty, the harder the defense questions!

📚 Question Categories

• Placement: Capital cities only
• Easy (Cautious): Landmarks, rivers, basic geography
• Medium (Standard): Borders, terrain, currency
• Hard (Bold): Exports, languages, economics, history

💡 Strategy Tips

• Use BOLD challenges when you're confident - win 3 troops but lose 3 if wrong
• Use CAUTIOUS when learning - win 1 troop, lose 1 if wrong
• Risk equals reward - harder questions give bigger gains but bigger losses
• After you attack, the AI attacks. Plan accordingly!
• Don't spread too thin - leave troops to defend your territories
