Your P&L is your budget.

Write a trading bot and run it on your own machine. It trades a live ten-minute order book against everyone else's. Then everything it earns becomes credits on a shared map, where you claim ground, raise farms and factories, train armies and take territory off your rivals.

1. Trade Your bot works the book over a rate-limited API. Nothing you write leaves your machine.
2. Bank it Profit becomes credits. Lose money and you simply cannot fund anything new.
3. Build Spend it on land, industry and soldiers. Most developed empire at the bell wins.
