Claim unclaimed hexes to expand your territory. Your first claim is free. Each additional territory costs 25 gold per hex you already own. After your first claim, you can only expand to neighboring hexes.
Owned territories accrue taxes hourly based on their current daily rate, up to 12 coins per day. Claim whatever is ready from the map; any full past-day taxes you leave unclaimed are added to that territory's conquer prize.
Owned territories can publish up to 4 defense slots in the next 24 hours. Challengers must attack through those slots, pay at least 25 gold, and attack from an adjacent territory. If multiple challengers queue for the same slot, that slot becomes a qualifier tournament and the owner will defend against the eventual champion.
