• How does the cranny work? Defence & protectionThe cranny hides 3.5% of your storage per level (35% at level 10) of each resource from raiders. Gauls hide twice as much, but never more than 35%.
• How much do I steal, and what does the cranny protect? Attacking & raidingSurvivors take what the target has above its cranny protection, up to their carry capacity, split evenly between the four resources.
• What should I do in my first hour? Getting startedUpgrade 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.
• Romans, Teutons or Gauls: which tribe is best for me? Troops & trainingRomans build faster and have strong infantry; Teutons have cheap troops that carry a lot and beat crannies; Gauls are the best defenders, the fastest, with a double cranny and traps.

• A good build order for the first day Strategy & tipsFields first, storage and cranny next, then Main Building, Barracks and Embassy; use the protection time to grow and raid oases.
• Tips for Gauls Strategy & tipsDefend cheaply with Phalanx and traps, raid far with Theutates Thunders, and use your doubled cranny.

• 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.
• How do I capture an oasis? OasesSend a normal attack (not a raid) with your hero to a free oasis within 3 fields of your village, kill every animal, and have a Hero's Mansion at level 10 or more.
• Natar attacks on players EndgameNatars attack players with 300 or more population, at most once a day. Their army is sized to your strength, so small players get small raids and strong players get big attacks.
