The goal and its sources
Roblox’s official description and independent AllThingsHow coverage both describe an 80% land goal. Nisu repeats the official description and is not counted as another independent observation. Individual 80.1% or 80.2% victory screenshots do not change the rule. Checked 27 October 2026.
Tempo
Early game is empty land. Take it before you pick a fight, because empty tiles do not shoot back. TheGamesEdge says to secure islands when you have a port, then choose a border. Mid game is income: factories and cities so a loss of one army is not the match.
Late game is the 80 percent push. Nukes and SAM sites show up on the build bar at high gold prices. Use them when a neighbor is the only thing between you and the bar, not as an opening.
Alliances are a timer, not a friendship
AllThingsHow reports a 30-second TRAITOR penalty. Its second article is the same publisher and is not independent confirmation. TheGamesEdge separately recommends alliances to reduce pressure on multiple borders. Use the advice while treating the exact duration as a single-source claim. Checked 27 October 2026.
