Answer: In battle there is no absolute formula for success, only by balancing a variety of factors can you ensure victory. First, you’ll need to grasp the importance of teamwork: cooperation with your legion and kingdom are prerequisites for victory. Next, you’ll need to find heroes with high stats and level them up through city activities like Bandit Blowout, Improve Roads and Expand Market. Finally, you must cultivate a massive army.

No battle is won through one-sided strength, only through balanced growth and cultivation will you find true success.

Once rallied, deploy the troop, resources in tow, to the city you wish to transport to and when they get there just unload the resources and you’re done! Alternatively, you can pay a small fee to transport them instantly at the city Post House.

13. Why does it always take my Heroes longer than other players’ to reach a battle?
Your Hero’s Troop is restricted by the march speed of the units rallied, and each unit type has its own marching peed. Before battle, try stationing your troops in cities near the front line, this should increase their chances of staying with the main pack when the battle starts!

14. What do the “30% Faster” and “Exact Arrival” functions do in the “Deployment” interface?
Answer: 30% Faster: decreases march time by 30%.
Exact Arrival: Given your unit’s troop speed and the distance to your destination, this function allows you to control what time your troop will arrive at a certain city. Let’s say you want to deploy your Heroes now and they’re scheduled to arrive on June 18th at 8:50 PM, but in order to enter a city simultaneously with your legion you must arrive at 10:00 PM June 18th  +/- 30 secs. In this situation, you can use Exact Arrival to ensure that you will arrive within that 30 sec. time frame.

15. How do I adjust attack settings?
Answer: When you Rally a troop, look for the “Combat Settings” button in the upper right to set Attack and Defense settings. Alternatively, when deploying a troop, find the “Attack Settings” button on the bottom right corner of the Deploy window and click to enter the interface.
