About This Game

• ToV is a slow real-time / turn-based hybrid game, where turns (called ticks) end automatically. A typical game (called a campaign) takes a week or longer.

• ATWAR (Advance Tick When All Ready) mode allows to advance ticks faster, making possible to play the whole campaign in one evening.

• Rule-based diplomacy:

  • Defense pacts with defensive wars auto-join

  • Alliances with shared scan range

  • Inter-bloc diplomacy (joins, expulsions, war declarations, peace proposals) resolved by vote

  • Suzerainties with tributes and, well... vassals!

• Campaign event notifications are sent to your mobile device (currently Android only), so you don’t need to check the game constantly or keep it running in the background.

• No cheating – each client receives only the information it’s allowed to see.

• Co-participation info shows which players in your campaign have played (or are playing) other campaigns together – helps detect multi-boxers.

• Local tick control lets you review past ticks and preview future (predicted) ones – useful for analysis and planning.
