Age of First Strike
Hesitation is Defeat
In the stillness before battle, the air quivers with anticipation.
The Age of the First Strike has dawned — where initiative is power, and the fastest blades draw the deepest blood.
Hesitation is defeat. The opening move can shatter a kingdom’s resolve, and the right strike at the right time can turn the tide before the enemy knows they’ve lost.
Instant returns, calculated gambits, and perfectly timed activations will define the legends of this age.
Whether you surge forward with a disciplined war machine, unleash lightning raids, or gamble everything on a single decisive strike, one truth remains:
The swift will carve their names into history, and the slow will be forgotten.
Your kingdom’s war drums are beating.
The First Strike is yours — take it.
