 __NOTOC__
-Unlike standard tower defense titles where upgrades are instantaneous, this system utilizes a time-gated installation process known as the '''Download System'''. This mechanic requires the administrator to manage computational bandwidth effectively, as every defensive or utility improvement requires a specific duration to reach operational status.

+You start each run with your current progression, fight scaling enemy waves, and invest your earnings into both run power and permanent power systems.
-When the system reaches a performance bottleneck, the '''Ascension Protocol''' can be executed. This is a prestige-style reset that clears current session progress in exchange for permanent, account-wide architectural bonuses. This protocol is essential for scaling the server's power to meet the requirements of advanced Tiers.
+== Core Gameplay Loop ==
-== Defensive Subsystems ==
+== How Combat Works ==
-The server core is protected by several specialized hardware and software subsystems:
+* Your server attacks automatically.
-* '''Turret Arrays''': Automated orbiting defense units. Their efficiency is calculated as a percentage of the server's total defensive output.
+== Progression at a Glance ==
-* '''Shockwave Generator''': A kinetic displacement protocol used to maintain distance between the server core and active malware.
+Progression happens in multiple layers:
-== Meta-Progression and Background Processes ==
+* '''Run Power''': normal upgrades, slot setup, temporary optimization for current run.
-Persistent systems maintain server uptime and growth even outside of active combat cycles:
+* '''Account Power''': Prestige Points, Gem Upgrades, milestone unlocks, Daemon scaling.
-* '''Daemon Protocols''': Permanent background scripts that provide significant stat-based boosts. Notable protocols include the '''CacheDaemon''' (resource optimization) and the '''ArchiveDaemon''' (damage scaling based on historical wave data).
+This structure is what turns short-term gains into long-term growth.
-== Threat Assessment ==
+== Server Build Strategy ==
-Malicious entities are categorized by their digital behavior and impact on server integrity. Threats range from high-velocity speed viruses to shielded '''Packets''' that deploy sub-processes (splitting) upon integrity failure.
+A large part of progression is how you configure server slots.
-In the latest system overhaul (Version 2.3.0), the defensive shield was transitioned to a '''Hit Blocker''' system. This protocol prioritizes mitigating a specific number of incoming hits rather than relying on traditional health regeneration, requiring a strategic focus on hit-count management and system durability.
