Cities and levels
Cities generate value, gold, and troops. Upgrades improve future output but also concentrate more value in a holding that must be defended.

Troops and marches
Troops stay in their source city until ordered elsewhere. Routes, travel time, available forces, protection, and ownership are validated when a march is created.
Learn army movementCombat and walls
An attack must first break one physical wall before its remaining power fights the garrison. Reports separate both stages and explain losses.
Read battle reportsScouting and reports
Successful scouting provides time-limited intelligence. Treat it as a dated snapshot because soldiers, walls, reinforcements, and ownership can change.
Read the scouting guideReward camps
Camps are temporary objectives with their own defenders and holding rules. Their production, deed, or relic rewards differ from ordinary city ownership.
Compare objective typesStrongholds and Citadel
Strongholds grant specialized strategic effects. The Crown Citadel is the central prestige objective and records cumulative control in the Reign Ledger.
Study the CitadelClans and rallies
Clan members can reinforce eligible holdings. Leaders and officers can form rallies while members contribute troops through the War Room.
Read clan coordinationItems and Bag
Items support planned protection, production, transfer, concealment, or recall actions. Gear is in its beginning stages and remains a developing progression layer.
See the gear foundationSkills and presets
Attack, defense, and utility skills specialize a ruler. Presets store exact allocations and help established kingdoms switch deliberately.
Plan a skill buildAchievements
Achievements are live and being polished. They provide longer progression goals while Daily Quests remain a separate UTC-based activity loop.
Read the progression noteLeaderboards and King Power
King Power equals your total controlled troops × 2. Troops in cities, Camps, marches, reinforcements, rallies and Towers count once. Top 100 rulers and Top Clans are separate views; Clan power combines its members’ King Power.
