# Core Mechanics

**Core Mechanics**

* **Tactical Survival and Combat:** In **AoM: Citadels**, players engage in both PvP and PvE combat, navigating the dangerous environments of the Citadel. Strategic survival is key—players must scavenge for resources, customize their loadouts, and make critical decisions that impact their survival.
* **Character Development:** Revenants are highly customizable, with a wide range of weapons, armor, and gear available. Players must choose their loadouts wisely, as losing a battle means losing valuable equipment.
* **Exploration and Resource Management:** Players must explore the Citadel and Ortus to gather resources, which are vital for crafting items and upgrading equipment. Effective resource management can provide a significant advantage in the game.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://aom-empires.gitbook.io/aom/gameplay/editor.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
