How it plays
Friends can team up against computer opponents or split into rival teams, up to twelve players in one match.
Each player runs their own economy and army, so there is plenty to coordinate and little time to chat once fighting starts.
The story campaign is solo; Arena of the Gods is the mode made for two-player co-op.
Matches often last an hour.
