Conquest Shapes
Conquest shapes let you define a target area for your expand bots. Instead of claiming tiles randomly outward, bots prioritize tiles inside your shape.
Preset Shapes
- Click the Shape button in the deploy actions bar.
- Choose a shape type:
- Circle — Set a radius (5–100 tiles). Centered on your base.
- Square — Set a size (5–200 tiles). Centered on your base.
- Rectangle — Set width and height independently.
- Corridor — Set length, width, and angle. Great for connecting to a town or ally.
- Adjust the sliders and click Apply.
- The shape appears as a semi-transparent orange overlay with an animated dashed border on your map.
Draw Mode (Custom Polygon)
- Click the Draw button in the deploy actions bar.
- Your cursor changes to a crosshair.
- Click on tiles to place vertices of your custom polygon.
- The first vertex appears as a green dot (close target).
- To close the polygon, either:
- Click near the first point (within 2 tiles), or
- Double-click anywhere to finish.
- A confirmation dialog shows the estimated area. Click OK to save.
- Press Escape to cancel draw mode at any time.
Clearing a Shape
Open the Shape modal and click Clear Shape, or set a new shape to replace the old one.
Tip: Use a Corridor shape to rapidly expand toward a Commerce Hub town for resource trading access.
