Take the map. Plant your banner. Provincia is a real-time territory war. No turns, no energy timer — every province produces soldiers at the same rate, and the only question is where you send them. Drag from one province to another and the column starts marching. Drag again while it moves and you split it in two: half holds the front, half takes the empty flank. THE COUNT DECIDES Six soldiers beat five defenders. Always. No hidden defense multiplier, no dice roll, no terrain bonus — you can do the maths before you commit. A province falls when your number is bigger, and not one second earlier. REAL BATTLES, NOT SPREADSHEETS Columns collide in the open field and fight man to man. Wounded soldiers stay wounded — they only recover by marching home. Attackers form a ring around the fort and hammer the gate while the garrison shoots from the walls. SIXTEEN REAL COUNTRIES Iberia, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Poland, Türkiye, Persia, India, China, Japan, Argentina, the United States, Mexico, Brazil, South Africa — each campaign is fought on that country's real provinces, and the enemy gets sharper as you go. SMALL ARMY, BIG DECISIONS This is not a game about hoarding two hundred units. It is about where your twelve are, right now, while the enemy is one province away from your base. PROGRESS • Stars for finishing fast, gold for winning • Six upgrade lines: production, garrison cap, march speed, starting troops, critical hits, treasury • Daily missions, victory streaks, achievements, idle income while you are away • Map themes to repaint the world FAIR BY DESIGN • No ads • No energy timers • Power is never sold — gold comes from winning, not from your wallet • Fully offline: no account, no sign-up, nothing leaves your phone
