Choosing Your Path to Power: Economy, Military, or Politics?

Blank-inactive-accMarch 21, 2026guide

Wondering what comes after your first few companies? If you’re thinking beyond the early game, this quick guide gives a wider view of the game so you can choose a path that fits your playstyle.

Player power comes from three paths: economy, military, and politics (or a mix of them). A country’s strength is simply the sum of its citizens’ power.

As you progress, you’ll naturally gravitate toward one path, but knowing the bigger picture helps you make smarter choices.

Economy:
Money makes things happen. You can hire more employees and keep them afloat. You can fund your country's major moves, and switch to becoming a fighter right away. You can quickly adapt to whatever is needed or become all of the necessary power at once.

Military:
Military power comes from two areas: personal strength and your MU’s strength.

Personal strength involves your equipments, skill point allocation, and general management of your attacks. Some fighters can sway battles by themselves.

On the other hand, MU strength involves managing and upgrading your MUs that they become a huge force during battles. Countries often hire mercenary MUs to win wars.

Political Power:
Political players shape the country’s direction. They pass laws, negotiate with other nations, and decide alliances or wars. With enough influence, you could improve your country's income, hire MUs, or have more allies fight for you. Political power allows you to effectively borrow the power of other players and countries.

In the end, most powerful players often understand how these paths connect and use them together.
