# Village Overview and World Map

The gameplay in Empirage is divided into two main views:

**Village Overview:** Players manage their villages, constructing and upgrading buildings against a picturesque landscape. The village evolves as new buildings are constructed and existing ones are upgraded.

**World Map:** The map is a system of hexagonal tiles, where players' villages and settlements are located, along with natural resources and neutral territories. The map can be scaled for convenient strategic planning and cooperation.
