Getting started

Choose your civilization

Choose Romans, Greeks or Northern Tribes, then explore your village and resource fields. Read the civilization description before confirming your choice.

Wood, clay, iron and crop are the four production resources. Improve the fields needed for your next building and follow the requirements in the quest panel.

Your first army

• Begin with wood production, then develop clay, iron and crop as directed by your quests.
• Build the Rally Point and Barracks after meeting their requirements.
• Train your first five infantry. Unit names differ by civilization.
• Send them to the starter Wood Oasis.
• Read the mission report, losses and survivors, and follow the army's return.
• Upgrade fields, Warehouse and Granary, then claim quest rewards to unlock the next step.

The expanded campaign

The new campaign has 66 quests across 13 chapters. It retains the original 45 quests and adds 21 quests in four chapters. Your previous progress remains part of the campaign.

• Chapter 10: Smithy and siege — 8 quests covering troop upgrades, Workshop access and fortifications.
• Chapter 11: Economy and resources — 6 quests for buildings, research, production and protected stock.
• Chapter 12: Heroes and equipment — 3 quests for hero progression, equipment and upgrades.
• Chapter 13: Advanced training and research — 4 quests for training, Academy research and production.

Before expanding

Balance your army with production, storage protection, training and research. Follow the requirements shown in your account. Older versions may still show 45 quests until the update and expanded campaign become available.
