A Modern Army Enters the Unknown

Beyond the portal lies an unfamiliar land. As the frontline commander, you must lead your forces into another world, establish forward outposts, and secure strategic resources to bring home.

Your objective is not to conquer every inch of territory, but to balance resource gains against battlefield casualties and extraction costs.

Conduct Reconnaissance and Establish a Foothold

Deploy reconnaissance units and aircraft into uncharted territory, then construct radar stations to expand your field of vision.

Survey routes, locate mineral deposits, identify enemies lurking beyond the fog of war, and deploy mining machines to begin resource extraction. Mining output, return requirements, and troop extraction costs must all factor into your operational planning—the more you commit, the more you will have to defend.

The World Is Watching—Defend What You Have Built

As the operation continues, the world becomes increasingly aware of your incursion. Enemy reinforcements will emerge across the map, striking at active facilities and isolated units.

You can press deeper and risk everything for greater returns, or consolidate your defenses and prepare for extraction. Every moment you remain may yield more resources—or provoke an even fiercer counterattack.
