Five moves.
One city.
The rules stay intentionally simple: walk to earn power, go somewhere to interact with it, then decide whether to claim, defend or attack.

Battle example
70 attacks 45.
The result should be instantly understandable. No spreadsheet combat system.
You take the quadrant.
70Your attack
VS
45Defence
45 troops are removed in the battle. Your remaining 25 become the new defending force.
Troops
Your main power. Earn them by walking and use them to attack or defend.
Risk Coin
Your tactical currency. Spend it when timing matters.
Territory
The visible status layer: what you own, what you lost and what you want next.
Walking
The engine underneath everything. More movement means more options.
Your legs build the army.
Your choices build the empire.
That is the whole pitch. Everything else exists to make those two things more interesting.
