A Trosnoth game has two teams
The aim of the game is to conquer all enemy territory
You can only capture a zone that’s next to yours
To capture a zone, your team must have more players in that zone
To capture a zone, touch the spinning orb
If your territory is cut in two, you will lose the smaller section
To move, press WASD
Aim and shoot with the mouse
Use the right mouse button for grappling hook
Earn coins by killing enemies and capturing zones
Use coins to buy upgrades in the shop menu
When you die, move your ghost to a friendly zone and click to respawn
And that’s about it!
