    Hiring Maryland in a war

    The coalition operates on its own. When you're at war you can open the Coalition War Aid panel and pay Maryland in SFC dollars to commit its forces to your side. It will only accept if it's currently aiding 3 or fewer wars — past that, its army is spoken for and you'll need another backer.

    FAQ

    Does joining Maryland lock me into the coalition?

    Your home state anchors your capital inside Maryland, but your diplomacy stays your own. You can ally with world nations outside the United States Coalition and still hire coalition armies when it suits you.

    Who are Maryland's neighbours in the coalition?

    In the Northeast Bloc bloc it sits alongside New Hampshire, New Jersey and New York. Those are the AI countries whose posture you'll feel first — in trade prices, in border tension, and in who's available to hire when a war starts.

    Is playing in Maryland free?

    Yes. Every coalition country, every city page and every game system is free in the browser. Nothing about Maryland is behind a paywall.

    How much does Maryland's war aid cost?

    The price scales with its military strength, so a heavily-armed coalition country charges more than a small one. You'll see the exact figure and its current aid load in the Coalition War Aid panel during any active war.
