How do I capture an artifact?

Destroy the Treasury of the village that holds it, then win a normal attack with your hero alive. Your attacking village needs an empty Treasury of level 10 (small) or 20 (large/unique).
  1. Build a Treasury in the attacking village: level 10 for a small, level 20 for a large or unique artifact. It must not hold another artifact.
  2. Raise your Rally Point to level 10 so catapults can aim at the Treasury.
  3. Destroy the target's Treasury with catapults (can take several attacks).
  4. Win a normal attack with your hero, and the hero must survive. It carries the artifact home.

Catapults fire before the hero takes the artifact, so one strong attack with catapults and the hero can do both.

Artifacts can be taken from players the same way.

A village with an artifact cannot be razed.
