Whats the goal of the game, how do I win?
The main goal is to expand your empire, taking as many cities as you can, until you run into another player. Then, usually, the player with the more population (therefore, the more money!) will crush the rival empire… You then capture the opponent’s medal and get some points (and probably bonus points too) in the Hall of Fame. It’s not set in stone, however, a good player with a smaller empire usually beats a rookie player at the head of a much larger empire, no problem. When you’ve conquered all the rival empires, you win! You then get more points in the Hall of Fame and may get promoted to a higher rank. See the On-line Help for more details on this (Press F1 while at the HOF screen) Of course, this can do for a while. But sooner or later, you’ll see on the field that it can be a lot more sophisticated than that. You’ll need to use advanced strategies to overcome other very good players roaming through Metal Knights lands…
