Residence and Palace

All levels: cost, build time and what each level gives »

Both train settlers and chiefs and give expansion slots. You can have only one Palace, and the village with it becomes your capital. A village has either a Residence or a Palace, never both.

Loyalty: the village's loyalty regrows 1% per hour per Residence/Palace level (x100 on this world). Without either, loyalty does not regrow.

Defence: the village gets 2 x level x level extra base defence (level 10: +200, level 20: +800).

Enemy chiefs cannot lower loyalty while a Residence or Palace stands. Attackers must destroy it with catapults first.

Settlers and chiefs train 10% faster per level, like in the Barracks.

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • How do I found a new village with settlers? New villagesTrain 3 settlers in a Residence or Palace at level 10, have enough culture points, and send exactly 3 settlers to an empty field.
  • How do I conquer a village with chiefs? New villagesWin 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.
