Troops
Recruit soldiers to raid your neighbors, defend your village and found new fiefs.
What do I recruit first?
Guards ⚔️. They're available from Barracks level 1, cost almost nothing (3000 wood + 1000 stone) and get the job done while you're starting out. You unlock stronger units by leveling up your Barracks. Always keep a solid mass of troops at home to defend: an empty village gets raided.
How it works
- 🏰Each unit requires a minimum Barracks level. The higher the Barracks, the faster recruitment goes.
- 🪵Troops cost wood, stone and sometimes wheat. Never Gold.
- ⏳Recruitment goes through a queue (5 batches max). Cost and duration are locked in when you start.
- ⚔️One army goes out to attack; the one that stays defends automatically, even while you're offline.
- 🐂A unit's cargo decides how much loot it brings back. Anything over the limit stays behind.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my army moving so slowly?
An army travels at the speed of its slowest troop. If you slip a Titan (very slow) or a Royal Mage into the batch, everyone lags behind. Separate your slow units from your fast units for lightning raids.
I won the battle but brought back almost nothing, why?
Loot is capped by the total cargo of your survivors. If you send few units, or low-cargo units, you leave resources behind even while crushing the enemy. Add Caravans 🐂 or high-cargo units to haul it all back.
How do I recruit faster?
Level up your Barracks. The higher its level, the faster each unit comes out. The Barracks level also unlocks the most powerful troops (the Titan requires Barracks 10).
Does the Caravan fight?
No. Its only strength is its huge carrying capacity (50000). Sent alone against a defended enemy, it gets destroyed. Use it as an escort for a real army to bring back the loot.
