The Idle Forces: Army Tycoon is incremental game. But it isn’t one of the traditional idle city builder games! You won't find here supermarket, restaurant, roller coaster and amusement park because it is an army simulator, rookie! Do you want to become an idle army commander and command the tycoon military units of a powerful state and execute peacekeeping campaigns? Do you want to raise a recruit to a military specialist? Bring Freedom, Law and Order even to the most remote corners of the planet! On the orders of a top army commander, you will set up a military camp and take control of a military base in a hot spot. Your main priority is to train operatives from green recruits. Every recruit and sergeant need to defend army homebase with a gun. Periodically, professional soldiers attack the military base! It would be better if it were mafia or zombies … Zombies are easier to deal with! An idle military base is a complex structure which need to build, upgrade and customize. Each building has its own purpose. Chefs cook in the kitchen. This is certainly not a restaurant, but they will give you a cookie and lemonade for dessert! In the infirmary, the medics will put you in a hospital bed if you're sick, and you'll feel at home instead of in prison! It's not a hotel empire for overnight stays, but a barracks with everything you need, including lemonade and cookies in the vending machine. To be resilient, you need sports activities. Sergeants choose a training program for your idle recruits. Instead of a gym, the military camp has its own firing range and shooting range.
