The territory combat screen lets you control your troops by choosing their tactics during each round of conflict . There are three tactics to choose from : Attack , Defend and Outflank . Your opponent will also be able to choose one of the tactics and the result of both of your choices will dictate how much damage your forces inflict on each other . Each tactic has its own strengths and weakness . Attack is strong against Defend , Defend is strong against outflank and Outflank is strong against Attack . The army with units left standing at the end of the battle is the victor . However , if both armies are destroyed , the territory will be designated as neutral . Recruiting . During each round you will be able to recruit new troops . Clicking the Recruit button will give you an extra unit in each territory you occupy .

You can only do this once in each round but you can then still Attack or Recruit as before . Base Attack . Once you have captured an enemy territory that contains one of their strongholds you will have the opportunity to send in troops to attack the base and destroy their transmitter . To do this click on the Base Attack button and then select the stronghold you want to raid . During a base attack you take control of one of your elite unites as they fight their way through the enemy stronghold and destroy the transmitter . Use the arrow keys to control the direct your unit moves in and use the CTRL key to attack .
