Crisis and Opportunity, Modern Armies and Another World Our world is mired in crisis, beset by both internal turmoil and external threats. Yet a portal to another world has opened a new possibility in this fragile situation. Called upon in a moment of peril, you will lead a modern army across the boundary and establish a frontline on unfamiliar and dangerous land. Beyond the gate may lie the key to turning the tide, but unknown dangers await as well. Exploration and Extraction Deploy soldiers and drones to scout the unknown, gradually uncover the map, secure key locations, and establish facilities. Through resource extraction, outpost expansion, and steady advances, transform this strange and dangerous land into an endless source of vital resources. World Will and Rising Threats Every act of plunder in the other world will provoke even greater hostility. As exploration pushes deeper, outposts expand, and battles escalate, the sleeping "World Will" of this land gradually awakens, driving native inhabitants and monsters to launch increasingly organized counterattacks. The scale, frequency, and intensity of these assaults will continue to grow. Even with strategic-level firepower at your disposal, you must still hold the front-line outposts. Manufacturing and Research Buried within the other world are unprecedented artifacts and technological clues that may completely reshape the way war is fought. As enemies continue to evolve and the battlefield grows ever more dangerous, you must upgrade your weapons with purpose, advance critical research, and continuously strengthen troop training to prepare for the next, even harsher war. Global Power Shifts and a New Order The war in the other world is also quietly reshaping the balance of power on Earth. You must maneuver among nations, trading cooperation for support, maintaining relations through shared interests, and, when necessary, using intelligence, proxies, and resource mobilization to shift the situation in your favor. There are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies, only ever-changing bargaining chips. As the front line continues to advance, the old balance of the world will eventually be broken, and an unprecedented new order may finally emerge.
