MANUAL

Getting Started

Welcome to NukeZone! This guide will help you understand the core mechanics and get you started on your path to domination.

Starting Resources

When you begin your journey in NukeZone, your base starts with the following resources:

• $250,000 money - Used for building construction, unit training, and research
• 5,000 land - The foundation for expanding your base with buildings
• 10 gold - Valuable resource used for advanced research upgrades and time-skipping

Peace Treaty Protection

New players are protected under a 72-hour peace treaty that shields you from all enemy attacks while you establish your base:

• Total Protection - The peace treaty completely protects you from all enemy attacks, including army attacks, missile strikes, and covert missions
• First 24 Hours Forced - The peace treaty is mandatory for your first 24 hours of gameplay and cannot be ended early
• Optional Early Exit - After the first 24 hours, you can choose to end your peace treaty early if you want to start attacking other players or participating in clan wars
• Use This Time Wisely - Focus on building your economy, training troops, and researching technologies during this protected period

Understanding the Interface

The interface is organized into five main tabs, each serving a specific purpose:

• Base - View an overview of recent events and key metrics, track your headquarter level and XP progress, construct buildings, and conduct research to advance your technologies
• Military - Track your general's level and XP progress, assign skill points and activate defensive abilities, train troops to build your army, and construct missiles
• Attack - Start field and covert missions to gather intelligence and sabotage enemies, send army attacks to capture land and resources, and launch missiles
• Timeline - A chronological feed of all activity including completed orders, incoming and outgoing attacks, level ups, mission outcomes, clan movements, war declarations, and more
• Clan - Create or join a clan, manage clan members and roles, view clan ranks, configure clan settings, and coordinate clan wars

At the top of the screen, you'll always see your current resources (money, land, gold) and your total networth, which shows the total value of your entire base.

Resources

In NukeZone, patience is part of the strategy. Most actions require time to complete, whether you're building, training, researching, or producing missiles. Time isn't a resource you manage directly, but it's an important constraint that shapes your strategy. The three core resources you'll actively manage are listed below.

Money and land can be stolen by other players through attacks and covert missions, but gold cannot be stolen.

Money

Money is your primary resource for building and expanding your base. You earn a steady hourly income that can be significantly increased through research and headquarter upgrades.

Earning Money:

• Hourly Income - You start with a base income of $5,000 per hour
• Finance Research - Increase your hourly income by up to +$20,000 (at max level)
• Headquarter Levels - Gain +$1,000 per hour for every odd level from 3 to 41 (up to +$20,000 bonus)
• Maximum Income - With all upgrades, you can earn up to $45,000 per hour
• Attacking - Steal money from other players through successful army attacks
• Heist Mission - Use this covert mission to steal enemy funds

Using Money:

• Buildings - Construct and expand your base infrastructure
• Research - Unlock and upgrade technologies
• Units - Train troops for your army
• Missiles - Build missiles for devastating attacks
• Headquarter Operations - Activate operations that provide various bonuses (one-time activation fee plus ongoing hourly cost)

Gold

Gold is a valuable resource with limited availability, making it important to spend wisely.

Earning Gold:

• Daily Bonus - Claim your daily login reward to earn gold
• Clan Bonus - Receive gold from your clan activities and achievements

Using Gold:

• Advanced Research - Some research technologies require gold
• Time-Skipping - Use gold to speed up research, unit training, missile production, building repairs, and troop healing (available in a future update)

We plan on adding more robust ways to earn gold in a future update.

Land

Land is the foundation of your base. Each building requires 50 land to construct, making land essential for expanding your infrastructure.

Acquiring Land:

• Exploration - Complete the "Exploration" field mission to discover new territory
• Attacking - Capture land from enemy players through successful army attacks

Increasing Land Gains:

• Enhanced Exploration - Research this technology to gain more land from Exploration missions
• Loot Efficiency - Research this technology to capture more land from attacks

Defensive Boost: The amount of unused land improves the health of your buildings for incoming attacks by up to a 40% boost for up to 25% unused land. You can view your current defensive boost on the Base > Buildings screen.

Additional resources may be introduced in future updates. We'd love to hear your ideas for new resources that could create exciting gameplay scenarios.

Buildings

Buildings unlock key capabilities and boost your performance. Each building costs money and takes time to construct. You can build one type of building at a time. Premium membership allows you to queue multiple orders that automatically execute in sequence.

Building Damage and Repairs: Buildings can be damaged or destroyed in attacks. Damaged buildings temporarily go out of service and provide no benefits. Buildings automatically repair over time in three batches spaced evenly over 18 hours (can be shortened by research):

• First batch repairs 50% of damaged buildings
• Second batch repairs 35% of damaged buildings
• Third batch repairs the remaining 15% of damaged buildings

You can see how many buildings of each type are damaged. Detailed visibility into repair timing for each batch is coming in a future update.

Research Lab - Reduces the time required for research. Every 20 labs provide 1% time reduction (at a rate of 0.05% per lab), up to a maximum of 25% time reduction at 500 labs.

Housing - Houses all unit types. Ground units use 1 housing capacity, air units use 2, and sea units use 3. The capacity provided by each housing building increases as you level up your headquarter. You can view your current housing capacity per building on the Military > Army screen.

Factory - Increases ground unit training speed.

Hangar - Increases air unit training speed.

Shipyard - Increases sea unit training speed.

Defensive Buildings

Missile Turret - Defensive structure that protects your base against ground unit attacks. Deals damage to attacking ground forces.

SAM Site - Defensive structure that protects your base against air unit attacks. Deals damage to attacking aircraft.

Torpedo Launcher - Defensive structure that protects your base against sea unit attacks. Torpedo launchers counter naval invasions.

Networth Trends

Next to any networth value displayed in the game (yours or other players'), you'll see a graph icon that shows whether the networth is trending upwards or downwards. This trend is calculated by comparing the current networth to the networth from 7 days ago, giving you quick insight into whether a player is growing or declining.

Navigation Shortcut

Tapping on an already selected tab (or double-tapping) is a quick shortcut to jump to the first subpage of that tab. For example, if you're on Base > Research and tap the Base tab again, you'll instantly return to Base > Overview.
