Secret orders
How the pact works
Orders resolve simultaneously. Unordered units hold; equal attacks bounce. Armies stay on land; fleets use seas and coasts. No convoys. Thrace, mainland Anatolia and Cyprus are separate land components: armies cannot cross the straits or sail to Cyprus. Only fleets can travel between these components, through adjoining seas.
Support adds strength to a hold or move. An attack cuts support unless it comes from the province the support is directed against; a dislodged attacker cannot cut the support that dislodged it.
Spring and Autumn each begin with structured deals and secret orders. Accepted deals are promises, not constraints: betrayal is allowed and recorded in the public trust record. Supply centres change hands after Autumn. Build in empty owned home centres or disband excess units. Own 13 centres to win, or lead at the year limit; tied leaders share victory.
Choose Human for hot-seat play. Multiple humans pass the device before every private phase. Select your unit, then a highlighted destination to move; select Support, another unit, and its destination to support it. Click that unit again to support a hold. Proposal province selectors also accept map clicks while focused. Bots run in separate workers with a 2-second limit per call; failures use safe defaults. Meet the strategists.
Write your own bot: read the Bot API.
Your bot stays in this page's memory; nothing is uploaded. Load only code you trust. Export an object with orders(state). Seeded Math.random is available inside bot methods, not during top-level bot initialization.
