Get Pact or Peril: World Domination for PC

Pact or Peril: World Domination is a turn-based territory strategy game for 1–8 players. You deploy armies, capture territories and regions, collect cards, and form pacts with other players. Play alone against bots or compete online in Casual and Ranked matches.

Modes and matches

The game has three modes, each with a different win condition:

• World Domination: conquer the map or become the last surviving side.
• Capital Conquest: capture and hold every player’s capital.
• King of the Hill: control the Hill and earn enough points to win.

Matches can be free-for-all, 1v1 or team games. Single Player offers multiple bot difficulties, while online play includes Casual and Ranked matches. There are nine Ranked ladders; Ranked matches use official maps, while community maps are available in Single Player and Casual multiplayer.

Combat and pacts

During an attack, you can choose how many dice to roll or use Full Send to resolve the entire battle automatically. Calculated Dice mode shows exact conquest odds and lets you choose how many armies to commit; in Classic Dice mode, each combat round is fully random.

Players can make private pacts and exchange preset strategy messages. A pact does not prevent attacks, and either player can ignore or break the agreement at any time.

Custom matches

Before a match, you can configure its rules and settings:

• Classic or Calculated combat
• Cards and reinforcement settings
• Fog of War
• Private pacts
• Portals and Portal Chaos
• Firestorms
• Turn timers
• Teams
• Troop placement

Replays and analysis

Completed matches can be saved as action-based replays. Replay tools include pause, playback speed and timeline controls, player point-of-view or omniscient viewing, a turn-by-turn event feed, cloud storage and six-character sharing codes.

Battle Analysis charts track changes in army strength, territory control, cards and eliminations. You can use chart points in replay analysis to jump to important moments.

Map editor

The included Map Editor lets you draw territories, create regions and reinforcement bonuses, add borders and shipping lanes, set labels, colors and army positions, preview troop badges and portals, configure map hazard counts, and validate maps before playing. Custom maps can be used in Single Player and Casual multiplayer, and Steam players can publish and download maps through the Steam Workshop.

Online play

Online matches use dedicated server authority. The server validates army placement, combat, captures, cards, fortification, pacts and victory conditions. Information about territories hidden by Fog of War is withheld from opposing clients rather than merely covered by the interface.

Online play includes reconnect support, bot takeover for disconnected players, inactivity safeguards, and mute, block and report tools. The game also includes Steam achievements, player statistics and match history.
