Reviewed 27 October 2026 · Open Alpha
1. Build a foundation
Your first building targets are Castle level 2 and all four resource buildings at level 2. Food, wood, stone and gold support later construction, research and training. Open a building to inspect its next requirements: having enough resources does not replace a required building level. Check production and storage before choosing your next upgrade.
2. Train your first 20 troops
Start training in the Barracks, Archery Range or Stable. The beginner milestone counts 20 completed troops, so a running training order is not enough. Begin with the troops you can afford and unlock now. Higher tiers need research; mages and rune wardens are later progression, not starting units. Keep some resources available for your city.
3. Send a gathering march
Open World and use the magnifying glass to find a resource target. Search only opens the target; it does not send troops. Review your troop selection and free march slots, then confirm gathering. Your army travels out, gathers and returns. Resources and the beginner milestone arrive when the march comes home. March speed and gathering speed affect different parts of this trip.
4. Explore, then research
The guide also asks you to win a monster battle, collect a charm and complete a research project. Read the target preview before attacking; a larger number of troops alone is no guarantee of victory. After a battle, inspect the report and wounded troops. Use the Academy for research and follow the prerequisites of the project you choose.
5. Join an alliance and help
Open Alliance in the bottom navigation to find your group. The final beginner milestones require current alliance membership and a help action that actually reduces another member’s eligible order time. An already finished order cannot provide that reduction. Coordinate gathering and battles with your alliance before committing your army to longer trips.
A useful routine before you leave
Check your building, research and training orders, returning marches and hospital. Use resource packs only when you need their contents, and match speedups to the correct order type. The beginner guide tracks progress but does not award its own reward. Regular Quests have separate rewards and claim actions. You do not need to keep the page open for server timers to continue.
These guides describe the current Open Alpha. Requirements, timers and battle previews shown in the game take precedence as the game evolves.
