How to win

1. Keep workers harvesting and watch your population cap.
2. Research Military Doctrine, then build production structures.
3. Select a building to research technology there. Your town centre advances the age. Tab shows your progress and each age's checklist. Production structures include resource buildings such as Boilers.
4. Expand to new base sites (the faint circles) for fresh resources. Age IV needs 3 expansions.
5. Field elites, then titans, then unleash your Worldbreaker.
6. Claim relics (the glowing plinths) by keeping units beside them. Each gives a bonus while you hold it.
7. Destroy every enemy structure.

Balance of power

Going round the wheel, each power tends to beat the next three: Dominion, Swarm, Deepforge, Solaris, Collective, Nomads, Infernal, then back to Dominion.
