Controls & saves

Move inside the screen to steer the game pointer. Click the screen to use your keyboard. Left click selects; right click opens or closes game actions. Arrow keys and the direction pad pan the map where the game supports them. Enter confirms and Esc goes back. The game’s own menus contain campaign, sound and save options.

Swipe to move the pointer; use buttons to click. The precision trackpad moves the visible game pointer. Hold left or Hold right keeps that button pressed while you move, so you can drag or pan; press it again to release. Release both clears held controls. Swiping on the game also moves the pointer while holding the chosen screen-drag button. Expand makes the screen larger; rotate your screen for more room.

Save your settlement in the game first, then press Keep game files or Exit. This browser keeps changed game files separately for each edition when storage is available. It cannot save an unfinished action or a running moment. Leaving the tab pauses play; Resume continues. Clearing browser storage removes local saves. Physical phone performance has not been measured.
