What should I do in my first hour?

Upgrade all resource fields, build a Rally Point, Warehouse, Granary and Cranny, then raise the Main Building and start raiding oases. Use your 24 hours of beginner protection well.

You start with 750 of each resource, a Main Building at level 1 and all fields at level 0. On this x100 world a level 1 field takes only 2 to 3 seconds to build.

  1. Upgrade every resource field to level 1, then to level 2 and 3. Click a field on the Village overview.
  2. Build a Warehouse and a Granary. Without them you can store only 800 of each resource, and your fields fill that in minutes.
  3. Build the Rally Point (its place is fixed). You need it to send troops and to build Barracks.
  4. Build a Cranny. It hides part of your resources from raiders.
  5. Raise the Main Building to level 3, then build Barracks and an Embassy (to join an alliance).
  6. Train a few cheap soldiers and raid empty oases near you. Oasis raids do not end your protection.
  7. Keep upgrading fields, Warehouse and Granary. Always spend resources before storage is full.
What works best
  • Spend often. On x100 your fields produce a lot, and anything above storage is lost.
  • Join an alliance early. Members help you with defence and advice.
  • Before your protection ends, have a Cranny and some defence, or keep resources low.
