Claiming a Nation
One pick, one deploy — and it's final.
The Nation Grid
After picking a theatre, a full-screen nation grid appears. It updates live as other players claim countries, so the list never goes stale while you decide. Clicking a nation only highlights it — nothing is reserved until you hitDeploy.
What You Inherit
Nations aren't blank slates. Every country starts AI-controlled, with cities and units already in play — claiming one hands you that existing state, not a fresh start. Worth a look at the map before you commit.
Until the moment you deploy, you can back out to the Theatres list freely — no seat is held.
