Your city is the game board. MapClash lays a grid over the real world. Every tile is about 150 by 150 metres: your block, the park around the corner, the street outside your office. Whoever stands there can claim the tile. First come, first served. PLAY RIGHT AWAY No forms, no waiting. Tap "Play as guest" and you're on the map. Later, secure your account with Apple, Google, Discord or email and keep playing on all your devices. CONQUER AND DEFEND Your first tile is yours. Everything after that you have to take. Send troops to neighbouring tiles, load them into your convoy and head out yourself, or issue a march order when it has to be quick. What you hold brings reinforcements. What you lose, you win back. BUILD AND RESEARCH Headquarters, barracks, drills, storage, watchtower, portal: every building can be upgraded level by level and changes its look as it grows. In the research tree you decide whether to attack harder, defend better or march faster. GUILDS Alone you get far, together further. Found a guild or join one, build your guild city together, support each other with transports and troops, and declare war on other guilds. SEASONS AND EVENTS MapClash is played in seasons. Every season brings its own season track with rewards, leaderboards, medals and weekend events. Badges and medals stay with you forever. FAIR AND SAFE Tiles can only be taken on foot, not from a car, bus or train. Your exact location stays on your iPhone. Only the tiles you own are stored: a 150-metre grid, no movement history. You can change location access at any time in Settings. GOOD TO KNOW • Free to play, an optional season pass is available (no subscription) • In German and English • Playable anywhere there are streets, not only in big cities • Notifications warn you when your territory is attacked • Designed for phones in portrait mode Always watch the traffic while playing and never enter private property. No tile is worth the risk. Grab your first tile. The rest of the city won't wait.
