Top Strategies
Your First 30 Days
The exact steps every beginner should follow to build a strong foundation.
Pick Your Civilization
Start with China for 5% construction speed, or Britain for strong early troops. Avoid switching early.
Upgrade Your Castle First
The Castle is the hardest building to upgrade. Prioritize it from day 1 to avoid late-game bottlenecks.
Max 2 Commanders First
Focus gems and sculptures on Sun Tzu + Joan of Arc (F2P). Spreading resources thin loses fights.
Join an Active Alliance
Alliance technology buffs, help requests, and event participation are essential for fast growth.
Save Speedups for Events
Mightiest Governor and other timed events give huge rewards. Burn speedups during these windows.
