As the player moves through the field, time in the world progresses. Time stops when you stand still. In the field, you will encounter many NPCs with their own intentions. Depending on your choices, they can become friendly or hostile. Additionally, your food supplies will decrease over time. Don't forget to replenish at each base.

Each base has facilities where you can shop. You can replenish food needed for travel and equip yourself. If you buy local trade goods, you can sell them at a higher price in other towns for profit. There is a limit to the amount of supplies you can carry, so plan your usage wisely.

In the guild, you can take on various jobs, such as helping citizens with their troubles or fulfilling requests from lords. Sometimes you may be asked to defeat nearby bandits, procure trade goods from other towns, or find missing persons. By completing quests, you can deepen your relationship with the town and the requester, earning money and fame as rewards.

You may encounter NPCs staying at the tavern in the base when you stop by. By deepening your interactions, you can learn about their backgrounds and purposes, touching on parts of the story. The protagonist's actions can change the relationship with NPCs, making them friendly or hostile.

You can hire soldiers at the tavern. You can recruit combat personnel skilled in close combat or archers who can attack from a distance, as well as personnel to transport trade goods and food. As your nation's technological development progresses, you will be able to employ more modern and powerful units.

If you attack an NPC on the field or are attacked, you will transition to a separate battlefield. The battle ends when you defeat the enemy leader, and you may gain their supplies, funds, or prisoners if you win.

By increasing your fame, you can join a faction belonging to a nation. After that, you can raise your rank within the faction by contributing to domestic affairs or achieving victories in wars.

By gaining a certain level of fame, you can establish your own faction. Additionally, by contributing to the nation, you can acquire territory, from which you can collect taxes.

By encouraging NPCs to join your faction, you can expand your influence. Additionally, by directing subordinate NPCs to carry out orders from the faction leader, you can contribute to the nation more flexibly.

You can develop your territory by building walls and cultural facilities such as libraries. As your territory becomes more prosperous, public order and loyalty will be maintained, making it a more solid foundation for your faction.

Once your rank within the nation reaches a certain level, you can start a rebellion to establish your own country. If there are friendly factions, they may join you in the rebellion. The territories of your subordinates will become the territory of your new nation, and you will automatically enter a state of war with your former nation.

By responding to suggestions from subordinate factions and granting territories based on their merits, you can maintain trust from your vassals. If dissatisfaction accumulates, the risk of rebellion increases, which could lead to losing territories. In foreign diplomacy, you can form alliances or declare war to engage in conflicts.

By establishing your nation, you unlock options for technological development. You can choose from a wide range of technologies, including agriculture, commerce, education, and military, allowing for strategic governance of your nation.
