How do I conquer a village with chiefs?

Win normal attacks with chiefs to lower the village's loyalty to 0. You need culture points and a free slot, and the village must have no Residence or Palace.
  1. Research the chief (Academy 20, Rally Point 10; Teuton Chief: Rally Point 5) and train it in a Residence or Palace with a free slot.
  2. Have enough culture points for one more village.
  3. Destroy the target's Residence or Palace with catapults first.
  4. Send a normal attack with chiefs. If you win, each surviving chief lowers loyalty: Senator 20-30%, Chief and Chieftain 20-25%.
  5. At loyalty 0 the village is yours. One chief is used up.

A capital and a player's last village cannot be conquered.

Less loyalty drop with: morale (much bigger attacker), a great celebration in the target, a Teuton Brewery. More with a great celebration in your village.

Loyalty regrows 1% per hour per Residence/Palace level (x100 here). Without a Residence or Palace it does not regrow, so later attacks can finish the job.

After conquest: queues, offers and the village's own troops are gone, reinforcements go home, oases become free, the wall and tribe-only buildings are destroyed, and research and upgrades start from zero.

  • Expansion slots: why can't I train settlers or chiefs? New villagesEach village gets expansion slots from its Residence (levels 10 and 20) or Palace (levels 10, 15 and 20). One slot = 3 settlers or 1 chief, and it stays used by the village founded or conquered.
  • Catapults: destroying buildings and choosing targets Attacking & raidingCatapults hit buildings after a won normal attack. What you can aim at depends on your Rally Point level; below level 3 they hit at random.
  • Culture points: how many do I need for a new village? New villagesEvery building level produces culture points each day. You need 2,000 for your 2nd village, 8,000 for the 3rd, 20,000 for the 4th and more after that.
  • Capital: what is special and how do I move it? New villagesYour first village is your capital. Only the capital can raise fields above level 10, it cannot be conquered or destroyed, and some buildings exist only there. Building a Palace in another village moves the capital.
  • Town Hall celebrations New villagesThe Town Hall holds celebrations that give culture points: a small one up to 500, a great one up to 2,000 (but never more than your daily culture production).
