Five powerful nations have divided the territories and are striving to return to a peaceful way of life. In these lands, robots and ordinary peasants tilling the soil coexist harmoniously. At the continent’s heart lies the once-mighty Factory, which produced metal giants but has since fallen into ruin and locked its doors. Each of the five nations seeks to claim this coveted piece of land while amassing wealth and glory along the way.
