The Story

Map of the Four Kingdoms and The Sacred Garden

Long ago, at the center of a continent rich with resources, there existed a vast neutral territory known as "The Sacred Garden." Four kingdoms flourished around this neutral land:

N

Kingdom of Volcano (Red)

A military nation in rugged mountains, producing high-quality minerals.

S

Kingdom of Desert (Yellow)

A commercial nation in scorching deserts, trading rare spices and medicinal herbs.

W

Kingdom of Forest (Green)

An agricultural nation with rich forests, producing abundant food and timber.

E

Kingdom of Ocean (Blue)

A maritime nation of seafarers, prospering through trade and fishing.

When the legendary treasure within "The Sacred Garden" was revealed, the kingdoms formed diagonal alliances—red with yellow, blue with green—and marched to claim this power. Only through strategic coordination and strong alliances can victory be achieved.

The kingdoms compete fiercely for control of vital trade routes that pass through The Sacred Garden. Economic competition created rifts between neighboring countries, while diagonally positioned kingdoms formed natural alliances due to their complementary resources.

Now, these alliances enter a magnificent battle that will determine the fate of all kingdoms. The terrain of The Sacred Garden is intricate, allowing soldiers to gain control only by surrounding and isolating their opponents.
