The road to dominion

The greatest ascents all began the same way: by laying the first stone. From there it's entirely in your hands. Expand your reach until that first settlement in the shade of a tree becomes an empire on which the sun never sets. Explore the world and find oases of wealth. And, ultimately, eliminate all those trying to get in your way. The fruits of your labor will show with each building, each soldier and each advance that makes your civilization flourish.
