🏰 Main Points: City

Your city's development depends on your gameplay style and priorities.

  • Easy game / city builder: Focus on resource buildings and upgrading essential buildings. Note: this path makes it nearly impossible to reach G9.
  • Warrior path: Focus on barracks and Farms (1 Mansion). See the separate Barracks in Town section for details.

The Capitol is the heart of your city. Here you can check production statistics and current bonuses. Send taxes to the kingdom at least once per day for optimal benefits.

The Capitol level determines how many help requests you can receive. When starting a process, always click the "Help" button – it's free and notifies your clan members. Each click advances your process by 1%.

Focus on upgrading the Capitol and Academy first. The biggest Might gain comes from Academy research, especially "Knowledge is Power."

Prioritize researching your Guardsmen. Each new level strengthens your army and boosts Might significantly.

Note: Many calculations depend on your G-level, such as the amount of merch when buying packages.

🪖 Barracks in Town

At the beginning it makes sense to build only one barracks and use the remaining places for RSS.

But if you go the warrior path later, several barracks should be built. Example with a lvl24 barracks:

Training comparison (lvl24, no Helena bonus)
1 barracks999 soldiers in 3T 6h
2 barracks1998 soldiers in 5T 11h

Result: 2 barracks = +100% soldiers in only +67% time – very efficient!

🔬 Main Topic: Research

To conduct research you need:

  • Valor Points (VP) 🔵 – earned by defeating monsters. Click a monster to see how many VP it provides.
  • Conquest Points (CP) 🟡 – earned by defeating enemy troops from other players (follow ROE – Rules of Empire). Also available via the Shadow Invasion epic event.
At the start of the game, VP is more important than CP – focus on acquiring it first.

Focus on Guardsman research for good progress. After reaching a new G-level, you can shift focus to archaeology, monster, or army boosts while building up your new G-level troops.

With each new G-level, your personal event targets/rewards change – they get bigger but harder to reach. Try to keep a balance between:

  • Guardsman level (G-lvl)
  • Monster level (m-lvl)
  • Specialist level (S-lvl)

If you play with merch, you can focus on G-lvl because the rewards are higher and easier to reach with merch (merch also scales with G-lvl). If you can clear all targets with just two attacks, you're too strong for your G-lvl and missing better rewards.

🤝 Main Topic: Clan

You're lucky to be in a great clan 😊, which means you'll receive plenty of gifts and event rewards.

To claim your rewards: tap on the Clan symbol at the bottom → go to "Gifts" section. Rewards include:

  • Time Boosters
  • Gold & Silver
  • Resource Boosters (RSS Boosters)

Time Boosters speed up ongoing processes. After clicking "Help" on a task, choose the right Time Booster, activate it, and the timer will be reduced.

RSS Boosters help when you run low on resources. Tap on the resource bar at the top or go to the building menu, select the right booster, and refill your stock.

Being in the clan area gives you extra bonuses like increased resource production. Please donate resources to clan buildings when you can!

📊 Clan Stats
  • Help expands the clan area.
  • Opening chests increases clan prosperity.
  • It makes no difference if you open chests/click help one by one or all together.
🌾 No Food / Minus Production

Quick fix: Check your personal bonuses → tap the yellow + next to your resource bar → "Personal" → scroll down. There are two food bonuses:

  1. +100% additional production
  2. -25% food needed by army
This is only a temporary step. Long-term, you need to build farms or obtain captain Helena for a good food bonus.

Long-term solution:

  • Build your city to a 90% food tile layout
  • All small building slots must be farms (except one Mansion)
  • Set talent points to extra tile and food bonus
  • Research food bonus in the Academy
⚔️ Attack Wave Strategy

When you attack with an Attack Wave, you want as many groups of troops as possible – with each group (Stack/Tier) having the same strength.

Example: Captain with Leadership 3,200, using Tier 1 & Tier 2 troops:

Tier 1
Spearmen500
Archers500
Knights250
Swordsmen500
Tier 2
Spearmen300
Archers300
Knights150
Swordsmen300

This gives you 8 groups → worst case 10 attacks, best case 12 attacks. You hope the troops with the highest bonus attack first.

📐 Simple Troop Stacking Strategy (Epics)

Applies to all epic events (Summons, Arachne, Doomsday, Ragnarok etc.). Ensure each group of troops (same kind, same level) is equivalent in might.

Highest G-level
Spearmen / Archers×1
Mounted×0.5
Previous G-level
Spearmen / Archers×2
Mounted×1
2 levels back
Spearmen / Archers×4
Mounted×2
3 levels back
Spearmen / Archers×8
Mounted×4
4 levels back
Spearmen / Archers×16
Mounted×8
Mounted troops are twice as strong – send half the amount of mounted compared to other troops of the same level. Keep the ratios! This will significantly improve your results.
👊 Punch Attack

When fighting normal/rare/heroic monsters, sometimes you should do punch attacks.

Use the strongest groups with a high amount of troops to minimize losses. Also calculate the enemy bonuses before attacking.

🧑‍💼 Merch Strategy (Epics)

When fighting Epics, it's often better to deploy Merchants in a later wave (they offer the best bonuses) to avoid a 50/50 first-strike situation.

Three main strategies:

🎲 All-In Strategy
Deploy the maximum number of your strongest troops. Hope for first strike (50% chance at maximum rewards). Expensive but can be effective if luck is on your side.
📊 Max Bonuses / Merchant Strategy
Send one group of your strongest troops with the highest possible value. Calculate total health of your troops ÷ health of your Merchants (e.g. Epic G6 = 6090 HP). This ensures maximum Merchants in the second row so they play their bonus.
🎯 Calculated Waves Strategy
Set your merch lower than your normal troops' total health.
⚰️ Reviving Troops

When your troops die you can revive them using: Sacred Potions (rare), Gold, or Silver. In most cases, it's cheaper to train new troops than reviving old ones.

Exception: In the first 48 hours for new players, revival is significantly cheaper – make use of it!
Important: Dead troops still consume food for up to a week after death. If food production drops, check your Temple and remove dead troops by clicking the red ✕ next to them.

What should you revive?

  • ✅ Heroes, Captains, Mercenaries, Monsters – valuable, worth saving
  • ❌ Guards and Specialists – usually cheaper to retrain
🏆 Most Important Events
  • Rise of Ancient (Tinman) → Get silver, gold, Tar, potions for the clan
  • Olympus → Get fragments for the Torch of Olympus (crypts artefact)
  • Ragnarok → Important Shop
💰 Best to Buy

If you're willing to spend money, you should definitely get the Gold Pass for the Triumphant Tournament. This offers by far the best value for money.

🔮 Summon Artefacts

Once you've researched G4, you'll unlock artifacts – summoned in the same building where you summon captains.

The first summon always contains good rewards, but single-key summons mostly give poor results.

Save your keys until you have 10 and use them for a 10× summon. You'll get significantly better rewards instead of wasting them one by one.
🏯 Citadel/Portal Trick
  1. Both cities send an attack to the same citadel. Send a low march from your main account and speed up the attacks from your silver account. Choose a citadel far away from your main.
  2. Once the citadel is killed, your silver city sets a portal on the exact same tile where the citadel was. Since your main was coming to kill the citadel too, it will now be an attack – even if your main account is in a bubble.
  3. Send your silver city troops to the fort and let your main city attack its portal. TADA! 🎉
🌍 Kingdom Opening – What to Expect

There's no single answer – every kingdom opening plays out differently. Don't worry, it doesn't always turn into chaos.

What will happen:

  • Chat with players from outside kingdoms
  • View their player and clan details
  • Place portals or visit them using the hero Ayrin
  • Two new PvP events unlock: Clash of Kingdoms (Capture the Flag) and Olympus (5-day event with 5 unique modes)
  • Our kingdom is part of the IKFPA agreement (inter-kingdom rules similar to RoE)
Protection tips:
• Use your shield (bubble)! Watch your portals.
• Keep low RSS in your city
• Station troops in forts
• Use RSS buildings and the vault to avoid looting
Olympus is genuinely fun and rewarding – with just €10 you can win quite a bit!
⚔️ CP Marches – How They Work

Goal: Kill as many enemy units as possible while losing as few of your own as possible. The better the ratio, the more CP you earn!

In a smart CP run:

  • The defender places a large number of strong units in their village
  • Weaker troops (with reinforce troops) attack them
  • Heroes and artifacts stay in the village (they boost CP gains)

For Attackers:

  • Use Dustan, Cleo, or Animatore – best heroes for CP farming
  • Activate "Conquest Point Bonus" in personal bonus settings before attacking
  • Ideally, one strong player takes the first hit
If everyone follows the rules and numbers are calculated correctly, the defender does just one attack → zero losses for others and maximum CP!

Two players "sacrifice": the strong player and the defender. The rest just get points.

After 10 attacks on the same player, CP rewards are drastically reduced.
⭐ MOST IMPORTANT: Captain Carter!

Carter is one of the most valuable captains – often underrated! He brings wealth and power to the clan in the form of chests. When Carter is used efficiently and regularly, we receive chests full of silver, RSS, and time boosters.

Maximize your crypt exploration efficiency with Carter:

  • 🛡️ Gear: Craft the right gear in highest quality and use the Amber gem
  • ⬆️ Level up: Use Epic Arachnia and XP boosters from Ragna Stone
  • 🔬 Research: Focus on research to improve Carter's efficiency
  • 🦸 Hero bonus: Use your hero's talent points to boost crypt exploration efficiency
Run crypts with Carter daily. It will be slow at first, but if everyone contributes – we all benefit and grow stronger!
