Encounter rules
Each encounter needs the previous bounty claimed. After your victory a boss site rebuilds for you for 6 hours; another commander's victory never blocks your army, and an encounter never removes your base shield. The counter hints come from the example armies in the balance tests — a starting point, not a guarantee. Scout first and read the live forecast.
Your officers
Officers who change the math.
15 officers to recruit, from field lieutenants to theater commanders. Assign one and its bonus stands.

Veteran Campaign: your path from HQ 8 to HQ 20
10 permanent orders and 450 War Bonds to earn.
Is Frontline Empire free to play?
Yes. Building, research and the full campaign are free, and the campaign itself pays 640 War Bonds: 190 across the 8 Frontier orders and 450 across the 10 Veteran orders. Optional purchases can speed up progress and affect army strength; they are not cosmetic-only.
Does the game keep running while I'm offline?
Yes. Construction, research and troop training run on server timers whether your tab is open or not. Production only pauses when a material reaches your storage cap, which is what the Warehouse is for.
Do I need to download anything?
No. The game runs in your web browser on desktop and phone. An email address and a callsign are the whole setup.
What do I actually do in the game?
Build a military base on 12 plots, follow 18 campaign orders to HQ 20, train infantry, vehicles and artillery, scout and attack NPC camps, research six technology branches, recruit officers, run supply convoys and climb the public rankings.
Can stronger players attack me constantly?
No. Player attacks need a declared war with 12 hours of warning, both bases at HQ 4 or higher and no more than two HQ levels apart. A war lasts at most seven active days, followed by seven days of truce. Shields block attacks, and War Bonds can never be raided.
Are there in-app purchases?
Yes, all optional: War Bonds, resources, reinforcements, time savings, shields, extra construction capacity and fixed-duration VIP passes. Officer crate odds are shown before you open one, and no purchase guarantees a victory.
