1) What is Geo Game?
Geo Game is a persistent, territory-control strategy game where every move happens on a real map. Your armies travel, stop, and claim tiles. Fog-of-war forces scouting and planning — you can’t fight what you can’t see.
What makes it different
- Living map You fight over a grid laid on real geography.
- Vision-based intel Fog-of-war + radar range drives strategy.
- Army composition Mixed species + splitting/merging matters.
- Growth Reproduction can expand your power over time.
- Fast tactics Portals and smart movement create ambush play.
What you’re controlling
- Armies with species composition + total units.
- Territory captured by stopping on a tile.
- Information (what you can see) via vision radar.
- Momentum via splitting, merging, and reinforcements.
2 Game Objective
The main objective is to expand your territory and defeat enemy armies until you dominate the map. Territory is measured in tiles — and the map shows a live Top 5 Territory Summary so everyone knows who’s ahead.
3) Quick Start
- Open the map and find your army icon.
- Tap your army to open the command popup (Move / Stop / Split / Merge / Patrol / Attack).
- Choose Move, then tap a destination tile to begin marching.
- When your army arrives, use Stop (or auto-stop) to secure the tile.
- Repeat to build a territory footprint. Use Split to send scouts or reinforcements.
If you can’t see the world
- Fog-of-war hides tiles you don’t own.
- Your radar ring shows what your army can scout.
- Move closer to reveal more tiles temporarily.
If a button is missing
- Some actions appear only when conditions match (ex: Merge requires friendly armies on the same tile).
- Attack appears only when an enemy is in range/visible (depending on rules).
4) Interface Tour
Army marker
- Shows your animal icon + a glowing ring (your team color).
- Label includes speed + status (Idle / Moving / Arrived).
- Tap it to open the command popup.
Command popup
- Move: choose a destination tile.
- Stop: stop on current tile (captures it).
- Split: create a detachment army.
- Merge: combine friendly armies on the same tile.
- Patrol / Regroup: optional tactics (depending on server settings).
Territory Summary
- Shows the Top 5 players by tiles captured.
- Updates live as tiles change hands.
- Helps you spot the current threats.
Fog-of-war + radar
- Dark tiles = unknown (not owned and not within vision).
- Radar circle = what your army can currently see.
- Inside radar, you can identify enemy tiles and plan attacks.
5) Moving Armies
Movement is simple: Move → tap destination tile. The unit begins traveling and the label shows speed + ETA. Use movement to scout, capture, reinforce, or set up ambushes.
- Tap your army marker → press Move.
- Tap a tile on the map. You’ll see the movement start and the army will animate.
- When it arrives, press Stop if you want to secure that tile (or let auto-stop do it).
6) Capturing Tiles
Tiles are captured when your army stops on the tile. Captured tiles become your territory and will remain visible even under fog-of-war. Territory is power: it’s your vision footprint, your growth zone, and your staging ground.
Capture rules (typical)
- You capture when you stop on a tile.
- If the tile is neutral, it becomes yours.
- If it’s enemy, it may trigger a battle or contest (depending on server rules).
Visibility rules
- Your owned tiles are always visible.
- Non-owned tiles are only visible if inside radar vision.
- Enemy-owned tiles are only identifiable when they’re visible (inside vision).
7) Fog-of-War & Vision Radar
Fog-of-war is the heart of Geo Game. You don’t get perfect intel — you earn it by moving, scouting, and controlling territory.
What you always see
- Your captured tiles
- Your armies and labels
- Your current radar circle
What you only see in vision
- Neutral tiles in radar range
- Enemy tiles and ownership colors (only inside radar)
- Enemy movement near you (depending on settings)
Why is the map dark?
Dark tiles are simply unknown to you. Expand your territory or move your army closer so your radar vision can reveal them. The dashed radar circle shows the scout radius.
8) Merging Armies
When friendly armies end on the same tile, they can combine into a single stronger force. In the current flow, merging is designed to be safe and automatic to prevent “stacking” clutter.
What merge does
- Adds units together (ex: 1 eagle + 3 wolves → 4 total units).
- Combines species composition (keeps counts per species).
- Updates total strength/defense from the combined force.
Which icon shows?
- The strongest (or “dominant”) species becomes the icon for the merged army.
- This is purely a display choice — your composition still matters in battle.
9) Splitting Armies
Splitting lets you peel off units to create a new detachment. It’s how you scout, flank, or send reinforcements while keeping a main army anchored.
- Tap your army → press Split.
- Choose how many of each species you want in the new army.
- Confirm the split → your new army is created.
- Now you’ll be prompted to tap a destination tile for the new army to move.
Smart split ideas
- Scout: split 1 fast unit to reveal tiles.
- Claim: split a small unit to capture nearby neutral tiles.
- Bait: lure enemies while your main force moves for position.
Common mistakes
- Splitting too small into enemy vision (easy pickoff).
- Splitting your main army into weak pieces before a major battle.
- Forgetting that reinforcements take time to arrive.
10) Portals
Portals are special map features that can allow fast travel between distant zones. They create surprise attacks, rescues, and rapid redeployments.
Can an enemy camp portals?
Yes — portal exits are common ambush points. Scout the destination area (vision radar) before committing big armies.
11) Animal Reproduction (Ecosystem)
Geo Game’s world can grow. Depending on server settings, species can reproduce over time, creating a living ecosystem. This makes territory control meaningful: your tiles become zones of growth and sustainment.
What influences growth
- Species gestation and litter ranges
- Per-tile population caps
- Server “tick” timing (how often growth updates)
Why it matters
- Lets you build strength without constant battles
- Rewards long-term territory planning
- Creates hotspots worth fighting over
12) Battle Power & Combat
Combat is built around army power — not just a single number. Your total strength and defense are driven by unit count, per-species stats, and any active rules (shields, buffs, terrain modifiers, and reinforcements).
What usually increases power
- More units (especially high-stat species)
- Better composition (mix offense/defense/scouts)
- Merging reinforcements before engagement
- Buffs (if enabled: shields, attack boosts, defense boosts)
What usually loses fights
- Getting caught without vision intel
- Splitting too thin
- Slow reinforcements arriving late
- Fighting into a defended zone / shield bubble
How does “strongest animal becomes the icon” affect battle?
The icon is mainly visual. What matters is your full composition (how many of each species) and the combined stats that the server computes for that army.
13) Pro Tips
Scout like a predator
- Split 1 fast unit to reveal tiles.
- Use fog-of-war to hide your main force.
- Don’t chase blindly — confirm with vision first.
Win with logistics
- Keep reinforcements staged behind the front.
- Merge before fights; split after fights to expand capture.
- Use portals to threaten multiple fronts (if enabled).
FAQ
Why can’t I see enemy territory?
Fog-of-war hides anything you don’t own unless it’s inside your current radar vision. Move closer (or split a scout) to reveal enemy tiles.
How do I capture tiles?
Move onto a tile, then Stop (or allow auto-stop) to secure it. Captured tiles count toward your territory score.
When does Merge appear / happen?
Merge is available when two friendly armies occupy the same tile. The game also supports auto-merge to prevent stacking clutter.
How do I split and move the new army?
Tap Split, choose counts, confirm — then tap the destination tile when prompted. The new army will begin marching.
How do portals work?
If portals are enabled, stepping on one allows fast travel to a linked exit portal. Scout first — exits are ambush hotspots.
How do I change my commander name/avatar?
Use the Profile page. Your commander banner and avatar will update in the top bar.
