As leader of a newly founded dominion, your goal is to rise above all others. Using everything from diplomacy to war, you must strive to build a dominion wealthier and stronger than all rivals. Throughout the round, you will compete against anywhere from hundreds to thousands of other players, all aiming to achieve the same goal.
Realmfall Tactics is a command-based strategy game - that is, there is a limit to how often your dominion can advance itself or interact with others.
In Realmfall Tactics, you receive 100 commands every 1 minutes. You can only accumulate 250 commands at once - if you receive more, they will go into your Reserved Commands, of which you may have up to 100; every time you receive additional commands, 1 of your reserved commands will be released for you to use.
All of the actions listed in the "Issue Commands" section of the side menu will consume a variable number of commands when you perform them - the Cash, Farm, and Explore options allow you to specify how much time to spend, while Build and Demolish consume commands based on how quickly your dominion can perform these actions.
Attacking a dominion, sending aid, or enacting a doctrine, whether on yourself or on another dominion, consumes 2 commands.
Other actions, such as participating in the private or public market, joining or managing an alliance, managing your dominion, or sending messages to other dominions, do not consume any commands.
Each time you issue a command, your dominion will collect taxes from its citizens and harvest food. Tax revenue will then be spent maintaining your dominion and its military, and food will be used to feed your population. Be careful not to run out of money or food - while the World Bank can help you with the former, the latter can have disastrous results.
When your dominion is first created, it is placed under protection so that other dominions cannot harm it during its initial stages of development. During this period of protection, your dominion also may not attack others, send foreign aid, or participate on the Public Market. Once you have used 200 commands, protection will be lifted and your dominion will be exposed to the rest of the world. Once the end of the round draws near, however, this protection will be removed.
