1. Pick A Country, Start Tapping

Tap Nations starts the moment you open the page. Pick a country, tap the central core, and your war room is live.

1. Open the country picker. Use the country chip in the top bar. Selection persists across sessions and feeds the country leaderboard.
2. Tap the central core. Every tap pays out coins, XP, a roll on each of the five resources, and country power. The core is the only mandatory action — every other system feeds back into your tap.
3. Read the top HUD. Coins, medals, and your five resources sit fixed in the top bar so they never shift when numbers grow.

2. Combos, Critical Strikes, Overdrive

Tap fast and damage stops being linear. Three multipliers stack: combo milestones, critical strikes, and Overdrive.

1. Build a combo chain. Consecutive taps within a short window build combo. Milestones at 6, 12, and 18 multiply rewards.
2. Roll critical strikes. Each tap independently rolls a crit. Base chance scales through Critical Optics (+2%/lvl) and crit damage scales through Crit Amplifier (+0.4×/lvl).
3. Trigger Overdrive at combo 18. Overdrive ignites a temporary multiplicative buff. The core ring glows, every tap is multiplied, and a yellow energy pulse runs along the route lines.

3. Five Resources, Five Drop Rates

Each tap rolls separately for every resource. Wood is common; Gold is rare. Drop chances scale with base level, operation mode, research, and prestige.

1. Wood (62%) and Stone (28%). Early-game staples. Drive base upgrades and the cheapest resource buildings.
2. Iron (11%). Mid-game gate. Required for the Foundry chain, Armor units, and most research past tier 3.
3. Oil (3.5%) and Gold (0.8%). Late-game rare drops. Power Capital-tier base upgrades, Drone units, and the highest-tier research.
4. Passive farming. Buildings and captured territories produce resources every tick whether you are tapping or not.

4. Operation Modes — Pick Your Strategy

Operation modes shape how your country generates power. Switching is user-driven only; operations never auto-rotate.

1. Atlantic Relay — balanced. Steady, stable resource generation across all five materials and a flat passive farm bonus. Safe pick for early game and offline-heavy players.
2. Euro Grid — burst. Increased combo gain per tap, increased Iron drops, stronger Overdrive uptime. The active-play mode for high-skill tappers.
3. Pacific Line — idle. Higher building output multiplier, longer offline cap, stronger weekly compounding. Ideal if you check in twice a day.

5. Command Base & Resource Buildings

The base is your long-term backbone. Each tier raises Total Strength, Strike Bonus, and Farm Bonus. Buildings are local production multipliers stacked on top.

1. Level your base. Spend resources on /base to climb tiers. Reach Lv 22 — the Capital tier — for late-game power.
2. Buy resource buildings. Lumber Mill, Quarry, Foundry, Oil Rig, Mint, Academy, Barracks. Each level multiplies that building's per-minute output.
3. Watch Building Strength. Building levels feed a Building Strength rating that gates territory captures.

6. Research Doctrines

Six lanes of permanent meta progression. Costs scale 1.76× per level.

1. Extraction Doctrine. +2.5% drop chance and +8% total resource yield per level. Highest priority for resource-starved players.
2. Supply Logistics. +12% passive farm rate per level. Compound multiplier on every building's output.
3. Strike Tactics. +1 flat strike damage and +1 unit power per level. Affects both your tap and your army.
4. Automation Grid. +20% offline cap per level. Required if you cannot check in often.
5. Industrial Doctrine. +5% building output per level. Multiplicative with Extraction and Supply Logistics.
6. Combat Codex. +5% army power per level. Stacks on top of Strike Tactics for late-game army scaling.

7. Army & Territory Capture

Army units add to Total Strength. Total Strength gates territory captures. Captured territories add permanent passive resource production.

1. Train units in /army. Infantry, Armor, Drones. Cost scales 1 + count × 0.18, so the first units are cheap and the curve gets steeper.
2. Push Total Strength. Total Strength = base + buildings + army × multipliers. Each territory has a minimum required strength on its tile.
3. Capture territories. Northern Forest (+wood), Alpine Quarry (+stone), Pacific Harbor (+iron), Desert Oilfield (+oil), Data Hub (+gold), Border Fort (+national power).

8. Leaderboard, Seasons, Friends

Real player power feeds three windows. Country standings reset every Monday at 00:00 UTC; last week's champions are archived forever.

1. Three windows: Today / Week / All-time. Today resets at UTC midnight, Week every Monday 00:00 UTC, All-time never resets.
2. Four scopes. Countries, My Country Players, Global, Friends. Switch via the leaderboard top bar.
3. Add friends by username. Use the Friends panel on /leaderboard or share an invite link. Mutual friend rows are added automatically.
4. Last Week's Champions. After every Monday rotation, the top 10 countries from the previous week appear with podium gold/silver/bronze styling.

9. Daily Rewards & Offline Catch-Up

Two systems reward absence: daily streaks and capped offline rewards.

1. Claim the Daily Supply. Once per UTC day. Coin reward = (80 + streak × 18) × operation supply multiplier. Skipping resets streak to zero.
2. Earn offline production. Returning after time away grants resources based on your active stats and operation. Cap is 8 hours by default; +96 minutes per Automation Grid level.
3. Use the offline window strategically. Switch to Pacific Line before logging off — its longer offline cap and higher building multiplier make idle hours pay more.
