How to play Planet-Fall

Planet-Fall is easy to start and deep to master. Here's everything you need for your first match.

1. Found your nation

1. Enter a nation name and pick a banner colour.
2. Click Choose where to land, then click anywhere on land. Open plains away from other players are a good start.
3. You start with a small territory, some troops and a little gold, plus a few minutes of spawn protection while you get going.

2. Expand your territory

Everything happens through the action wheel. Right-click on any land to open it:

• Click the centre of the wheel to attack with your current Attack size, set on the bar at the bottom of the screen (or press 1–4 for 10%, 25%, 50% or all).
• The outer buttons attack with a fixed share of your army, launch a boat across the water, retreat, or propose an alliance.
• Unclaimed wilderness is cheapest to take. Mountains and forests cost more troops, and so does land held by a well-defended nation.

Your army regrows over time, up to a cap that rises with your land and cities. Big empires pay extra to expand (their supply lines stretch), so pace yourself.

3. Build an economy

Land doesn't earn gold on its own. Right-click your own territory to build:

• City: raises your troop cap and acts as a train station.
• Factory: lays railways to your cities and shipyards nearby and runs trains that earn gold at every stop. Hover a factory to see its reach.
• Shipyard (coast only): sends merchant ships to other players' ports. Every delivery pays both sides.
• Defense Post: makes nearby land much harder to capture.

Each building of a type costs more than the last, so spread them where they count. Conquering tribes, the small AI factions on the map, also pays gold.

4. Friends and enemies

Right-click another player's land and choose Ally. Allies can't attack each other, and their trade pays extra. You can break an alliance at any time, but you'll be marked as a traitor for a while and your land becomes easier to take.

5. Winning

A match lasts up to three days. Hold 40% of the planet's land to win early, or be the biggest nation when time runs out. The winner joins the Hall of Fame and a fresh planet forms for the next match. You keep your name and colour.

Controls

• Right-click: open the action wheel
• 1 2 3 4: attack size 10 / 25 / 50 / 100%
• C: fly home to your nation
• Enter: chat with everyone
• H: show the controls card
• Drag to spin the planet, scroll to zoom

Tips

• Grab nearby wilderness and weak tribes first, while your spawn protection lasts.
• Build a factory between two or three cities early. Trains pay off quickly.
• Coastal nation? Build a shipyard and trade with players across the ocean.
• Logging off? Your land defends 2.5× harder while you're away, so you won't wake up to an empty map.
