WarFront Strategy Guide

Success in WarFront requires mastering the population system, timing your city construction, and reading the battlefield to strike when opponents are weakest. Every decision about expansion pace, defensive positioning, and alliance formation can swing the game.

The key to victory lies in maintaining optimal population growth while building a strong economic foundation through cities and ports, then leveraging that advantage into military dominance.

Early Game Strategy (First 10 Minutes)

📍 Starting Position

• Choose grassland territories far from aggressive players
