Only a madman would dream of conquering the entire world… Are you that madman? GENERAL IDLER is an idle conquest game set on a parallel Earth 195 nations, real borders, and one objective: total world domination. You start with a single country and nothing but ambition. Build industries to generate cash. Spend cash on military units to generate Army Power. Accumulate enough Army Power and invade your neighbor. Conquer them then do it again, and again, across every continent on the globe. ─── THE CORE LOOP ─── Every conquest is a prestige reset. Your cash, industries, and army vanish but your map progress, medals, research, and global population permanently remain. Each new run starts stronger than the last. The world gets smaller. Your empire gets faster. ─── PLAN YOUR ROUTE ─── Geography is your first weapon. You can only invade countries that share a land border with your territory. Island nations like Japan, the UK, and Australia require Naval Operations research before you can touch them. Vast, sparse nations like Russia, Canada, and Mongolia hit harder than their populations suggest their sheer area makes them mechanically brutal. Every path to world domination is a puzzle. ─── BUILD YOUR ECONOMY ─── Eight industry types from Agriculture to Energy, each unlocked through the Tech Tree. Stack synergy bonuses between industries in the same territory. Watch your cash-per-second multiply as your empire grows. RP (Research Points) trickle in automatically as a percentage of your income spend them wisely. ─── RESEARCH & UPGRADE ─── 36 Tech Tree nodes across four branches Economy, Military, Intelligence, and Infrastructure. Unlock new industry types, new unit tiers, global AP bonuses, and slot expansions. Permanent across all runs. Plan your research order like a campaign strategy. ─── SPEND YOUR MEDALS ─── Earn Medals for every conquest. Spend them in the Requisitions Board on permanent global upgrades cash multipliers, AP multipliers, offline income caps, army speed, and more. These carry forever. Ten upgrades, five tiers each. The difference between your first run and your fiftieth is enormous. ─── IDLE WHILE YOU'RE AWAY ─── Industries run while you sleep. Return to offline earnings waiting in your command center. The longer you've been away, the richer your empire. Upgrade your offline income cap in the Requisitions Board to extend how much you collect. ─── KEY FEATURES ─── 195 NATIONS A full parallel Earth with real borders, populations, and adjacency. Every country has a unique defense factor based on area-to-population ratio. PRESTIGE SYSTEM Conquest resets your run but permanently expands your global capacity. Every run is faster than the last. TECH TREE 36 permanent research nodes unlock industries, units, and global bonuses across four military-industrial branches. 8 INDUSTRIES Agriculture, Mining, Manufacturing, Oil & Gas, Technology, Banking, Logistics, Energy. Each with base income, upgrade scaling, and synergy bonuses. 8 UNIT TIERS Infantry through Strategic Units. Each tier unlocked by a Military tech node. Higher tiers generate more AP per unit. MEDAL SHOP 10 permanent global upgrades, each with 5 tiers. Compounds across hundreds of runs. OFFLINE EARNINGS Your empire works while you don't. Return to resources waiting on your command table. The world is waiting, General. Command. Conquer. Idle. Repeat.
