In this epic dot conquest, you command a growing army to capture states and territories while outmaneuvering rivals on a global stage. The challenge is simple to grasp but endlessly deep to master: Outsmart & Overwhelm: Solve strategic puzzles on the fly to break through enemy lines and crush their towers.

Warlands's advantage is ratings volume (167 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
