Outposts and cities should be strategically located, and expanded with province improvements to maximize your territory and bonuses, while butting heads with your neighbors. The map is full of enemy units, treasures, magic items, resources, infestations, and ancient wonders, leading to an almost overwhelming amount of choices every turn.

From there you expand the city with new provinces, build upgraded buildings, and draft new units and heroes to explore the map. You control an entire faction on a randomly generated map, starting with a city and an army.
