Description:

World Command is a Strategy Wargame in which players manage both a
country's economics, and it's Military. Economical control includes
investing government money, picking industries to develop, and managing
your country's population. Military control includes developing
technologies, purchasing military units on a Squad Level, purchasing
special units like spies, commando teams, cyber hackers, space shuttles,
rockets, and stations. Also, leading your military in a squad level
battlefield will take prevalence.
But, there is one thing not mentioned. Diplomacy. Players are encouraged
to speak with other players, form alliances, lie, backstab, mislead, and
scam other players to accomplish their own goals. The Diplomatic part of
the game acts as a control to the rest of the game. In this game, people
who aimlessly attack other players in an attempt to rule the world will
probably find themselves outnumbered and outgunned.
But, if you are smart enough, good enough, and fast enough, you become one
of the legends. The superpowers of the world. People will bow at your feet
and wonder how you did it.
