If you don’t see your question here, 66 contact <a href="mailto:[email protected]" class="email-link">[email protected]</a> 67 or post on the Forums. 68 </p></div> 69 70 <div class="content-section"><h2 class="section-title">What is TEQ3?</h2> 71 <p class="text-content"> 72 TEQ3 (Terra Est Quaestuosa) is a free-to-play, browser-based, massively multiplayer online 73 strategy game. You create a country, gather resources, build armies, trade on a global 74 market, form alliances, and compete against thousands of players across four game servers. 75 Each game round runs for two weeks to a month, and the winner is the country (or team) with 76 the highest overall score. 77 </p></div> 78 79 <div class="content-section"><h2 class="section-title">Is TEQ3 free?</h2> 80 <p class="text-content"> 81 Yes. The core game is free to play. We may offer optional paid features in the future, but 82 you can play and compete fully without spending money. 83 </p></div> 84 85 <div class="content-section"><h2 class="section-title">How do I create an account?</h2> 86 <p class="text-content"> 87 Click "Sign Up" on the main page, choose a username and password, confirm your email
88 address, and you can start playing immediately. You may only maintain one account. 89 </p></div> 90 91 <div class="content-section"><h2 class="section-title">How does a game round work?</h2> 92 <p class="text-content"> 93 Each server runs rounds of 14 days to one month. You start with neutral turns (a protection 94 period for new countries), then begin gathering resources, building infrastructure, 95 training military, and interacting with other players. Turns regenerate over time, and 96 the round ends on a fixed date with final rankings published. 97 </p></div> 98 99 <div class="content-section"><h2 class="section-title">What are the different servers?</h2> 100 <ul class="text-content"><li><strong>Team Server</strong> — month-long rounds, organized team play.</li> 101 <li><strong>Group Server</strong> — month-long rounds, alliance-driven politics.</li> 102 <li><strong>Tournament Server</strong> — competitive month-long round with extra rules.</li> 103 <li><strong>Express Server</strong> — fast 14-day round, ideal for trying out new strategies.</li></ul></div> 104 105 <div class="content-section"><h2 class="section-title">Do I have to play every day?</h2> 106 <p class="text-content"> 107 No. Turns accumulate while you’re offline up to a maximum (typically 150 turns stored). 108 You can play in short sessions every day or longer sessions a few times a week. Many top 109 players spend 20–30 minutes per day. 110 </p></div> 111 112 <div class="content-section"><h2 class="section-title">Can I play on mobile?</h2> 113 <p class="text-content"> 114 TEQ3 runs in any modern web browser. The legacy interface is optimized for desktop; 115 a mobile-friendly version is being rolled out as part of the ongoing modernization. 116 </p></div> 117 118 <div class="content-section"><h2 class="section-title">Are bots allowed?</h2> 119 <p class="text-content"> 120 No. Pre-calculation tools and spreadsheets are fine, but automated scripts that take 121 in-game actions are forbidden and will result in account bans. See the 122 <a href="/Rules" class="email-link">Game Rules</a> for details. 123 </p></div> 124 125 <div class="content-section"><h2 class="section-title">Can I have more than one country?</h2> 126 <p class="text-content"> 127 You may have one country per server, but only one game account in total. Creating multiple 128 accounts to gain an in-game advantage is grounds for permanent ban. 129 </p></div> 130 131 <div class="content-section"><h2 class="section-title">What happens if I’m attacked while I sleep?</h2> 132 <p class="text-content"> 133 Every new country starts with neutral turns that protect it from attack. After that, you 134 have to rely on diplomacy, defensive military, alliances, and game mechanics like a 135 fortified position. Most successful players form alliances early. 136 </p></div> 137 138 <div class="content-section"><h2 class="section-title">How do alliances work?</h2> 139 <p class="text-content"> 140 Players can form teams (on the Team Server) or informal alliances (on Group and Tournament). 141 Teams share scoring; alliances coordinate diplomacy and attacks but score individually. 142 Politics is a major part of the game. 143 </p></div> 144 145 <div class="content-section"><h2 class="section-title">What is the Early Access Program?</h2> 146 <p class="text-content"> 147 EAP is an opt-in program that lets you preview new Blazor-based features before they roll 148 out to everyone. Enrolled players see Beta links in the main page navigation. You can opt 149 in from <a href="/EarlyAccessProgram" class="email-link">/EarlyAccessProgram</a> once logged in. 150 </p></div> 151 152 <div class="content-section"><h2 class="section-title">Who runs TEQ3?</h2> 153 <p class="text-content"> 154 PGMS Inc., a small Canadian studio led by Philippe Grandmont (Pvt Vandals). PGMS took over 155 from Schoot Digital Productions, the original team behind TEQ since 1999. See 156 <a href="/AboutUs" class="email-link">About TEQ</a> for the full story. 157 </p></div> 158 159 <div class="content-section"><h2 class="section-title">I forgot my password.

If you no longer have access to the email 162 address on file, contact <a href="mailto:[email protected]" class="email-link">[email protected]</a> 163 from a verifiable channel and we’ll help recover access. 164 </p></div> 165 166 <div class="content-section"><h2 class="section-title">How do I report a player breaking the rules?</h2> 167 <p class="text-content"> 168 Send a detailed report to 169 <a href="mailto:[email protected]" class="email-link">[email protected]</a> including 170 the player name, the server, what happened, and any evidence (screenshots, message IDs). 171 Game coordinators investigate every serious accusation. 172 </p></div> 173 174 <div class="content-section"><h2 class="section-title">I think I was banned unfairly. What can I do?</h2> 175 <p class="text-content"> 176 Email <a href="mailto:[email protected]" class="email-link">[email protected]</a> 177 explaining your situation honestly. We review appeals and reverse bans if the evidence 178 supports it. 179 </p></div> 180 181 <div class="content-section"><h2 class="section-title">Will I lose my country when the round ends?</h2> 182 <p class="text-content"> 183 No data is deleted at round end — your account, history, and ranking are preserved. 184 A new country is created at the start of each new round; legacy rankings remain available 185 at <a href="/roundhistory" class="email-link">/roundhistory</a>. 186 </p></div> 187 188 <div class="content-section"><h2 class="section-title">Does TEQ3 work in my language?</h2> 189 <p class="text-content"> 190 The interface is being made available in English and French. Other languages may be added 191 over time. The community forum is mostly English-speaking. 192 </p></div> 193 194 </div> 195 <footer class="teq-footer"><div class="teq-footer-links"><a href="/AboutUs" class="teq-footer-link">About</a>
