✦ AI summary

Command a nation through World War I and beyond, managing diplomacy, economy, and military strategy across a century of technological advancement in this deep grand strategy simulator. Rewrite history by controlling armies down to the battalion level, influencing thousands of historical events, and competing in multiplayer matches where your decisions shape the entire global conflict.
