#### 4x Strategy

* **Explore.** Travel the world of Eladrea, and discover new territories in search of resources and legendary treasures.&#x20;
* **Expand.** Claim new lands and enlarge your Kingdom’s territory. Conquer rival settlements and cleanse the monster dens.&#x20;
* **Exploit**. Mine and gather resources and use them for various city and army upgrades. There are more than 200 unique buildings, each one serving its special purpose. For example: in capital blacksmith, you can craft various items for your heroes to equip, and city barracks serve as core units recruitment centers. Various building upgrades and special structures available in high-tier cities will make every player's capital unique and special. You’ll have the opportunity to upgrade your capital rank to gain access to high-level structures by completing certain requirements or investing tokens in the city’s development.&#x20;
* **Exterminate.** Participate in PvP and PvE battles, forge alliances with other players, and take part in massive war campaigns in order to claim the Fea crystals - the most valuable Eladrea resource.
