National Dominance puts the whole world in your hands. Pick any of 196 real nations and rise from regional player to global superpower. RUN A DEEP ECONOMY Set tax and spending, fund five ministries down to their departments, and manage debt, inflation, a sovereign wealth fund, bond markets and a credit rating. Trade real commodities along living supply routes, and squeeze rivals by choking the goods and chokepoints they depend on. PLAY THE WORLD Forge trade pacts and alliances, levy tariffs, rally sanctions coalitions, broker peace as a Trusted Broker, or found your own bloc with dues and a shared army. Every nation has opinions, grievances and ambitions, and they will gang up on whoever leads. GO DARK Build a black-budget intelligence service, arm deniable proxy armies, and run espionage, bribery, sabotage and rumor campaigns. Unleash a proxy war while keeping your hands clean. The AI plays the same dirty game right back. WAGE WAR YOUR WAY Raise real armies across ground, air and naval forces and march them to war. Battles are decided by Risk-style dice weighted for technology, air superiority and terrain, so superpowers hit hard while entrenched defenders and guerrilla fighters bleed invaders dry. Casualties are real and thin both your army and your population. Mobilize for total war, launch your own offensives, climb an escalation ladder from cyber strikes to nuclear options, then occupy, install puppets, or fully annex the conquered. SURVIVE A LIVING WORLD Seasonal disasters, climate, global pandemics, refugee crises and weaponized migration all test your resilience. Respond, insure, and rebuild stronger. TWO PATHS TO VICTORY Win by Ascendancy: grow faster than anyone over a 10, 25, 50 or 100 year mission, so even a tiny nation can topple the giants. Or win by conquest: build a war machine and subjugate every rival great power. Then keep playing forever in endless mode. Chase 100 achievements, climb the global leaderboards, and prove you can rule the world. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Point War is a real-time strategy game fought on the actual world map. Pick a nation — a superpower or a single-city state — and take it to war. Real cities produce your troops, real economies fund them, and every border on screen is the real one. There is no invented continent to learn. The map is the world you already know. HOW IT PLAYS - Cities are your production. Hold more of them and your army grows faster. - Push into your neighbours, take their cities, and knock nations out of the war one by one. - The front line is simulated, not scripted: it bends where you commit force and breaks where you do not. - Land, sea and air all matter. Coastlines, deployment zones and range decide what you can reach. - Speed controls let you slow a decisive push down or fast-forward a quiet hour.
