Getting Started 🎯

After the tutorial, your kingdom will be under initial protection for ⏳30 minutes. During this time the priority is to expand your defenses 🛡 using your Builders 🧱 to prepare for player vs player war. Other players with similar attack criteria 🔱️⚜️🏅 will be able to attack your kingdom after your protection period 🛎 ends.
While under protection move your strongest vassals 👥 to the Builders 🧱 to increase the building 🔨 rate and return to your Builders 🧱 to initiate more building 🔨 commands after each Order 📜 completes.

You may choose to spend gold 💰 to buy the building 🔨 expansions but be sure to save some to heal 💖 your army and your defenders.

During your initial protection you can try to attack⚔️ your first Adversaries 👤 while you build and wait for your protection 🛎 to end. Adversaries 👤 are Non Playing Characters, NPC, and will retreat if you attempt to seize 💥 or miss 🌪. They will return every ⏳2 hours. Before you can attack⚔️ you must recruit vassals to your army 🚩. Recruited vassals 👥 are your attackers but they do not leave your buildings. You must successfully raid 🔥 a defense 🛡 in order to be able to initiate a seize 💥. Then attempt to seize 💥 attack⚔️ a district ⚪️🔵🔴 for the target vassal 👥. If your attack⚔️ is successful your target will become your vassal 👥 and appear in your Court ⛲️. Vassals 👥 seized 💥 from adversaries 👤 are immediately loyal to you unlike vassals 👥 seized from live players.

After Protection Ends 🛎
When your protection ends 🛎 you will also be able to attack⚔️ other players, rivals👩🏻👨🏽. The rivals 👩🏻👨🏽 you can attack⚔️ will be selected based on attack criteria 🔱️⚜️🏅. Be sure to put your best vassals 👥 in the defense 🛡 to protect your kingdom. If your defense 🛡 power ⚜️ is less than the attack strength🔱️ of your rivals👩🏻👨🏽 they will have an easy time raiding🔥 your gold 💰 and seizing 💥 your vassals 👥. Make it a priority to expand 🔨 your defenses 🛡 when you can. A good recommendation for the defenses 🛡 power ⚜️ is twice the power of your maximum attack strength🔱️, this is referred to as your Alpha attack. Vassals 👥 seized 💥 from rivals 👩🏻👨🏽 will have a loyalty chain 🔗 to their original liege 👑. They will have ⏳24 hours to attempt to rescue it back from you. Having prisoners 🔗 in your kingdom will create unrest 💣 but they can only lead an uprising if unrest 💣 reaches 100%.

Try to distribute your vassals 👥 evenly in your defenses 🛡 but you may chose to only defend one or two of the districts ⚪️🔵🔴 in your kingdom. Defending only one or two districts ⚪️🔵🔴 means you have placed vassals 👥 in the defense 🛡 that defend the the buildings in that column, under the that specific defense 🛡, and you aren't defending one of the other districts because you haven't placed vassals in the defense that defends that column; this is calling running lines. You may want to run lines when you don't have enough vassals 👥 to defend all three district ⚪️🔵🔴 or if defending all three districts ⚪️🔵🔴 makes your defense 🛡 power ⚜️ less then your rivals' attack strength 🔱️. Running lines can be beneficial but it does require you to make some choices about which building functions will take priority in your kingdom.
When all your defenses 🛡 have similar power ⚜️ strength they are said to be balanced. It makes it more difficult for your rivals to find targeted vassals without the Hideout 🕯 building, a building unlocked when you reach the title 🎊 of Viscount/Viscountess, if your defenses 🛡 are balanced. In addition to balanced defenses, it is wise to keep balance between your kingdom vassals 👥. Balanced kingdoms have vassals of similar power ⚜️. Having large differences in power ⚜️ between your vassals 👥 can make it more difficult to fill your defenses 🛡 with enough power ⚜️ to defend against the maxim attack strength 🔱️ of your rivals; however, some more advanced strategies include unbalance.
