You
installed the game but now you're stuck and searching tips on Internet? You
probably found a lot of information to do so!
I won’t repeat
the same things than on other websites, but give you a few useful tips.
The incubation phase (Keep 1-10)
If you are
on the very beginning and still shielded under your bubble, you need to focus
on growing your Keep and Storehouse to hit level 10 as soon as possible. You need to focus on
the protection of your resources at the first place.
Once you
did that, focus on upgrading all your buildings to level 10.
Protection
If you can’t
put a shield, take care: never leave your troops in your keep when you’re away,
send them gathering wood and never keep your resources over the protected
limit.
You can’t
avoid players to zero you (destroy your wall, you will be teleported to a
random place). But it’s not that important: the wall’s health restores with
time and if you followed the tips you won’t lose any troop or resource.
When you send your troops to gather before you go to sleep, you have two options :
- Sending them far far away when you go to sleep so they aren't back before you log in in the morning.
- Train a little amount of sieges to send them with your cavalry to increase signifcantly the gathering time (don't do that over day!)
Researches
Focus on the researches listed below and achieve them at max rank. Don’t do any
other research then those required.
Military
-
> Rucking Pace (5 ranks) => Increase your march speed. March speed is an
important factor in the game.
-
> Stewardship (March Slot +1) => get a second march to gather and hunt.
-
> Coat of Plates => increases your cavalry defense
City
Defense
-
> Strengthen Wall => increase the wall resistance
-
> Murder Holes => increase defenders attack
-
> Bulwark => increase defenders defense
Logistics
-
> Forced March => increase march speed vs creatures
-
> Pack Mule => increase your troop load
-
> Bureaucracy => increase construction speed
-
> Endurance => increase the stamina regeneration
-
> Expedite Planning => increase march speed vs. resources
-
> Healing => increase the healing speed
-
> Triage => increase the wounded capacity of your medic tents
-
> Rationing => increase the upkeep efficiency
Economy
-
All researches you can do are a plus point here as it concerns gathering and
production of resources.
Advanced
Military
-
Don’t do a single research here. It concerns only PvP and you won’t participate
in the beginning as it costs a lot of resources, the event rewards aren’t worth
it.
Crafting
Before you
craft anything else, craft a good crafting gear. It will spare you steel as it
is difficult to get a lot of it in game if you don’t buy packs.
Go to the
smithy, set the “Craft” filter on and choose “Fine” as quality. Craft the item
with the best bonuses on Steel Crafting Efficiency (and not crafting speed).
Collect
materials / Hunt / Gather
To collect
a maximum of everything (bonuses, resources, crafting material, livestock,
house prestige, etc.) you need to hunt as much as possible, gather a lot and
complete Tyrion’s Quests + Daily Quests and collect at the Port as often as
possible.
Gold
Don’t spend your
gold for other things than shield and stamina.
Keep
placement on the map
When you get an advanced transport, place your keep in an area full of level 9
creatures and caravans and not to far (40-60 leagues max. of level 4-6
gathering nodes).
Gathering
When you used all
your stamina send your troops to gather wood as it’s the resource you need the
most to upgrade. You also can gather gold but you have to search the nodes by
yourself. Note that gold nodes are mostly around Siege of Powers. Gathering don’t
use stamina.
Hunting
Hunt level 4 creatures and caravans all the time: the healing bill is lighter
and you only use 5 stamina each time you hunt. Hunt on caravans as much as
possible each day of the week. Hunt for creatures on Saturday and Sunday.
House
level
Your house
level will increase with House Prestige. Check your inventory regularly to use
the Prestige you received there. Your house level determine wich level of gear you can craft.
You earn
House Prestige in many different ways: daily quests, event rewards, Tyrion’s
quests, hunting, daily rewards.
Dragon
I know it's
a nice part of the game: raise a powerful dragon... But it costs a lot of your
precious resources and if you don’t want to spend money in the game (or as less
as possible), just don’t hurry and forget about the dragon for now.
What will
happen if you spend your wood on it in the beginning of the game? Your dragon
will hatch after you spend a lot of it and after a while you will find out that
you don’t have enough DRAGON LORE to make hem evolve or not enough Livestock.
There you’re stuck.
It’s better
to wait a while to hatch your dragon: stack up Livestock and Dragon Lore till you
have enough to Hatch your Dragon (25k Dragon Lore).
Actually,
don’t spend resources on it till you have reached keep 10 and made all the
needed researches and upgrades.
Stole
resources from other players
It’s not a
thing you should do for now: you are weak, your marches aren’t big enough, fast
enough and the troop load is not huge enough.
To stole
resources properly you need to scout the keep. The other player will be warned,
he can teleport elsewhere, put a shield on or let hes allegiance know about it
and some other player can come for you.
Scouting
from far away is not a good thing, the arrows on the map will give your position
to other players and they can come for you.
You can’t
bubble or teleport the time your spy is out, it’s important you have an instant
recall in your inventory.
Be aware of
all of this before you start attacking other players to stole resources. Target
little keeps close to you that aren’t in a big allegiance.
Join an
allegiance
In the very
beginning of the game it can be hard to find a good allegiance that will give
you a chance. A good way to socialize is to be active on the kingdom chat. Players
are curious, and if you talk often, they will check your profile and maybe you
will receive an invitation to join them.
Before you
join an allegiance, inform about their playing style, the time zone of the other
players and the main language they use. Relationships and diplomacy are also an
important part of the game.
Schedule
In the morning when you log in: collect, hunt till you don't have stamina anymore and send your cavalry gather and empty the highest node level you can.
After that, start training, crafting or research.
Check Tyrion's Quests, daily quests and events. Complete as much as possible.
You can put an alarm to remind you when you need to go back to the game to hunt and resend your cavalry to gather if you don't like to check the game notifications all the time.
Plan your
researches during research events, big building upgrades during building events, same
with crafting, hunting and gathering as often as possible. That way you earn
rewards. Also, some bonuses can be active during events (craft speed, building
speed, etc.). Check the details of every even carefully to define if it’s worth
it or not.
Spend
money
If you plan
to spend some money in game, there is a good time and a bad time to do it. Don’t
buy a pack when you need it but buy them when the best one’s show’s up.
Buying a
pack with daily delivery of gold is the most interesting. Packs with a high
amount of gold is really nice.
A really
good time to buy a pack is when there’s a gold event. You get rewards for
buying packs, what means a lot of gold above the pack you bought.
Check very
often the offers and check carefully all the content of the pack.
Things you
should buy in the early stage of your game: steel, crafting material,
Conclusion
If you
follow this guide you will save an amazing amount of time, resources and money
to develop by only focus on the things that matters.
Even if you
p2p, don’t waste your gold on futile things. Time and diplomacy are your best
friends in this game. If you want a pure war game, you’re at the wrong place
because it will take you a serious amount of time and money before you can kick
some asses.
