Quick Reference

Everything you look up often, on one page: what each race is good at, all the units, the seasons, the councilors, TPA and WPA, and the computer provinces. The numbers come from the game itself, so they are always right.

Races

Every race is better at some things and worse at others. The numbers are percent, against a province with no bonus. Green helps you, red holds you back.

TPA / WPA

TPA: thieves per acre

Your thieves divided by your acres. When you try a thievery operation, your TPA (with your bonuses for thievery) is put against the target's TPA (with their bonuses for defence against thieves). With the same TPA you succeed about half the time; with twice their TPA about two times in three; harder operations lower the chance. A small province needs fewer thieves for the same TPA.

WPA: wizards per acre

Your wizards divided by your acres. It counts when you cast a spell on another province: your WPA (with your bonuses to cast) is put against theirs (with their protection from spells), and the caster's WPA counts three times: with a third of the target's WPA you win about half of these rolls, with the same WPA most of them. A spell also needs mana, enough wizards sent (the recommended number), and it fails more often the more days you ask for. Spells on yourself and your kingdom mates do not look at WPA.

Computer provinces

Computer provinces in this age: 0.

Now

  • Explore new land
  • Build
  • Research
  • Train an army and a defence
  • Vote for a king in their kingdom
  • Cast spells on themselves and their kingdom mates (Enchanted Land, shields, Alarm)
  • Spy on a province before they attack it: its army from what their thieves saw, its bonuses (knowledge, spells, walls, morale) as the game counts them; they misjudge a little, so they win some attacks and lose some
  • Keep an army at home when they attack: they send only what they think they need, never all their attackers, and the defenders stay home
  • Attack other provinces now and then, computer provinces and players (a player only once the protection is over and a day more, and not again by the computer for a day)
  • Get ready for an attack together: their kingdom mates cast war spells on the attacker (Enrage, Battle Frenzy, Haste)
  • Pay back an attack on their kingdom for two days: attacks, spells and thievery on the kingdom that attacked, at most two attacks back for each one. When you pay back theirs, they may answer again or not; and they stop attacking when their thieves fail or see an army too strong for them
