THE BASICS (Development)
Hey guys,
Welcome back! In this post you can find the basics of this game, from attacking, defending and developing your castle, Have a good time reading :) !
Development
I strongly suggest you that before going berserk with attacks here and there, you should spend more time on developing your castles and outposts. An ideal castle is a castle that fulfills your requirement of food, and resources and kingdom resources. At early stages, you should consider having farmhouses, woodcutters and stonemasons at max levels! Because initially you can't loot too many resources.
From level 10-30 I suggest :
- About 8 Farmhouses
- About 5 Woodcutters
- About 5 Stonemasons
- About 3-4 Guardhouses
- Public Order 130+
- Max Taverns
- All towers max levelled.
- Dwellings 8-10
Ok, so I explain everything in detail. 8 farmhouses will help you to increase your food production, ofcourse you know that. Hence, you can station more troops at your castles, keep more attackers and defenders. Without worrying about food.
About five Woodcutters and Stonemasons will fulfill your needs for resources which are ofcourse needed for upgrading buildings. This number will decrease as you level up.
Guardhouses will catch enemy spies at your castles, so build them :)
Public order provides a HUGE bonus on productions, recruitment and tools making speed. You should try to arrange your castles to get maximum space for decorations after putting the mandatory buildings.
Towers max levelled are important! They allow more troops to be posted on the castle walls. More troops mean more chances of winning flanks. Why you need to win flanks, you will know in my other post.
Here I can hold 292 Troops on the wall! Just remember the more the troops on the wall, the more your chances to win the flank.
At higher levels you will reduce resource buildings and dwellings so that you can get more place for farmhouses and granaries (if i spelled right) and kingdom resource producers. As at higher levels you don't need too many upgrading, or even if you do, most of us loot enough coins and resources to fulfill our requirement.
Attacking towers in all kingdoms is very important! I will discuss the importance later in posts.
If you have any questions, suggestions, feel free to comment.

Hey guys,
Welcome back!
I can tell you that by the time, I have been asked how to attack this and how to attack that. In this post I am going to be teaching you the basics of attack. So read on!
THE FLANK GAME
When you attack, What is your initial goal?
Ofcourse, to win all 3 flanks.
Every attack in this game, consists of three flanks. That means you can deploy your soldiers on three sides. The attack is divided into two main components, 1) the Wall battle and 2) The Courtyard battle
Ok, so as your soldiers attack, first they face the opponents soldiers on the castles wall. The castle wall is divided into 3 flanks, Right, Middle, and left. If you manage to cross the wall, the battle will then be fought with the remaining soldiers (of the opponent and you) in the couryard.
You can win a flank by killing all the defending soldiers on the specific flank. When you win even one of the flanks, the battle is carried on to the courtyard. Winning flanks affect the courtyard battle.
1) If you manage to win all three flanks, you will get a 30% Bonus in the courtyard. (The 30% bonus means that all your soldiers will get a 30% bonus to their combat strength. That means 100 of your soldiers will be equivivalent to 130 of his soldiers.)
2) If you manage to win two flanks, you will not get any bonus.
3) If you manage to win one flank, you will get a -30% in combat strength of all your soldiers in the courtyard, that means 100 of his soldiers will be equivivalent to 130 of your soldiers.
4) If you dont win any flank then ofcourse the fight will not be carried to the courtyard, and as a result you will lose.
THE DEFENDER WEAKNESS
There are two types of attackers and defenders, melee attackers & defenders and range attackers & defenders.
Just remember these points.
1) Melee Defenders have a weakness of Range attackers
2) Range Defenders havea weakness of Melee Attackers
3) Melee Defenders are ideal against Melee Attackers
4) Range defenders are ideal against range attackers.
So, ofcourse to get best results you have to find the defender's weakness. Therefore Attack melee defenders with Range attackers and Range Defenders with Melee attackers.
This is a halberdier, which is a melee defender with weakness of Range attackers.
This is a longbowman, which is a range defender with weakness of Melee attackers.
Heavy Crossbowman, a range attacker.
Two handed Swordsman, a melee attacker.
BONUSES
The defender is awarded some bonuses on the basis of the level of walls, level of towers, type of moat, types of defense tools etc.
As an attackers, you must reduce all of these bonuses, which will help you to have a significant win.
There are many bonuses
1) Wall Bonus
The castle wall provides a bonus to all soldiers on the wall. which varies according to the level of the walls.
A Level 5 Wall gives 100% Combat strength bonus to all soldiers on the wall.
A Level 4 Wall gives 80% Combat strength bonus to all soldiers on the wall.
A Level 3 Wall gives 60% Combat strength bonus to all soldiers on the wall.
A Level 2 Wall gives 40% Combat strength bonus to all soldiers on the wall.
A Level 1 Wall gives 20% Combat strength bonus to all soldiers on the wall.
Apart from the bonuses given from the wall level, wall bonuses also vary according to the tools used and castellan bonuses.
To reduce wall bonuses you have to use wall tools like Siege Tower, Scaling Ladder etc.
The picture shows a Scaling ladder which is used to reduce enemy wall protection.
2) Moat Bonus
After level 37, a player can build a moat, which also gives bonuses to soldiers on the wall. (No tool gives bonus in the courtyard) Tools like fire moat increase the moat protection of the enemy. and Therefore provide another bonus to all soldiers on the wall. To decrease the moat bonuses use moat tools like wood bundle, assault bride etc.
The picture shows a assault bridge is used to reduce enemy moat protection.
3) Melee and Range Bonuses
Apart from castellan bonses, some tools like Flaming arrows, Bulwark provide bonus to Range soldiers on the wall. Whereas Lime powder bombs provide bonus to all melee soldiers on the wall. Range bonus can be reduced by manlets. But melee bonus cannot be reduced by using any soldiers. So if such a melee bonus is there, with lots of melee soldiers on the wall, bring down the wall and moat protection. This is the best way to counter melee strength, because there is no such tool to do so.
A Manlet is used to reduce range soldiers bonus.
4) Castle Gate bonus
The gate also gives bonus to all soldiers on the center flank. NOT ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT FLANK. To reduce gate bonus using rams.
An Iron Ram is used to reduce enemy gate protection.
Note: Please bear in mind, the defender may change his defense setup when he sees you attacking.
NO TOOL Can give a bonus in the courtyard..
Even without defense tool the defender is provided with some bonuses. Which com from his level of walls, moat, and gate.
If you can bring down these bonuses of the defender, you can win all three flanks with ease and have a great fight a the courtyard. with +30% bonus.

THE BASICS - Defending
Hey guys,
Welcome again!
Now then you have learnt how to attack, ofcourse, you will attack. And your enemy may get angry and hit you back, so you need to have an army of defenders at your castle to protect yourself!
I always suggest you to have alot of defenders at each of your castles, as some attacks are fast. You cannot always shift defense from one castle to another.
Ok, as I told you, your initial goal in attacking is to win all flanks. While your goal is while defending? To avoid the attacker to win all three flanks. Why? Because He can get a 30% Bonus in the courtyard.
I always make about 70% Range defenders and 30% Melee Defenders, why? You'll find out later!
THE OFFLINE SETUP
While you are offline you can't setup your defense, so most people set their defense to:
100-0-0
0-100-0
0-0-100
3 Wall Tools 1 Range Tool
70% Melee- 30% Range
Now why this?
This is to ensure you hold atleast 1 flank, so your attacker cant get a 30% bonus in the courtyard. When all the soldiers on the wall are on one flank, then its very less chance he can defeat such a flank. It is a great defense strategy. But can be broke if for a very strong attack.
AGAINST RANGE ATTACK ARMY
Most of the players preffer to attack with a 90Range commander, Full range attack and Manlets and Belfies. This is a very strong attack and to defend such an attack DEFEND ONLY ONE FLANK. Usually middle flank. 100% Range Full wall tools, gate and moat tools.
And try to get the highest range bonus on your castellan and move out all melee defenders from that castle, leaving only melee. This way if you have about 700-800 Troops in the courtyard, the battle will be won.
Open gate on such an attack if less than 200 on Wall. or if Range bonus less then 60.
AGAINST A MIXED ATTACKAGAINST RANGE ATTACK ARMY
Most of the players preffer to attack with a 90Range commander, Full range attack and Manlets and Belfies. This is a very strong attack and to defend such an attack DEFEND ONLY ONE FLANK. Usually middle flank. 100% Range Full wall tools, gate and moat tools.
And try to get the highest range bonus on your castellan and move out all melee defenders from that castle, leaving only melee. This way if you have about 700-800 Troops in the courtyard, the battle will be won.
Open gate on such an attack if less than 200 on Wall. or if Range bonus less then 60.
You may be attacked by a mixed commander (90-90) With half melee half range troops. belfies,
This attack is also a common one. First of all you need a strong castellan 70-70 or better.
Defend one flank, with 70% Melee 30 Range (left or right) With 3 Wall tools and 1 range tool. OR two wall tools 1 range tool. (Default Setup) the battle will be won if the flank is defended and 800+ Defenders in the courtyard.
Open gate on such an attack if castellan bonus less than 70-70.
Armorer Tools not available.
If 200 or less on wall.
Defend one flank, with 70% Melee 30 Range (left or right) With 3 Wall tools and 1 range tool. OR two wall tools 1 range tool. (Default Setup) the battle will be won if the flank is defended and 800+ Defenders in the courtyard.
Open gate on such an attack if castellan bonus less than 70-70.
Armorer Tools not available.
If 200 or less on wall.
