Choosing the basic path (at city lvl 2)

City Level 2

When to go this path?

Conclave

3 Research, 2 Production, 2 Gildar

has exclusive buildings to enhance research and mana gain

whenever in doubt; 2+ essences would be good

Fortress

2 Research, 8 Production, 2 Gildar, +1 Level for Trained Units

has exclusive buildings to enhance trained units and lower their costs

lot of materials; have one with 2+ essences to train units there

Town

2 Research, 2 Production, 4 Gildar, +1 ZoC

has exclusive buildings to enhance economy and growth (in all cities)

lot of grain, no essence, when other cities need to grow

Conclave

Level 3

reached at 150 Population

rating

Archivist

+50% Research when the city is Producing Research

okay/situational

Oracle

+1 Essence in this city

very good

+20% Research in this city (and some Spell Scrolls can be bought in the shop by Champions)

bad

Level 4

rating

Academy of Revelation

+10% Research for your faction

good (especially on large maps)

Amethyst Vault

+2 Crystal per season

okay; good if in dire need of crystals/on small maps

Tenfell University

Unrest doesn't affect Research (in this city)

poo

Level 5

rating

Infirmary

Trained units get +1 Hit Point per level (Endurance trait); Stationed units heal +10 Hit Points per season

very good (this game is all about Initiative!)

Watchtower

Trained units get +1 Move and +2 Attack on the first action of combat (Charge trait); 1 catapult for city defense

I don't remember the exact details @Piorun22, but I believe on higher difficulties you don't have the resources for that.

Piorun22 5 Nov, 2017 @ 1:16am

best time 2 build pioner for 2 city is FIRST turn

HEX: THE RELIC 26 Jun, 2016 @ 4:19pm

How soon do I need to build my second and 3erd citys??? I can't seem to get the hang of this dam game driving my bat shit crazy....

ปากกาน้ำเง 31 Jul, 2015 @ 7:01pm

good

Pedinski 14 Apr, 2015 @ 9:28am

Sorry, forgot to mention, it takes Fame to build henchmen, hence the need for the Almshouse.

Pedinski 14 Apr, 2015 @ 9:27am

An Almshouse is not useless, its awesome with the right combination (situational/great) I play a kingdom (of my own design) that is allowed to hire henchmen. With a henchmen created in a fortress that allows level advancement upon creation, (Command Post, Worrior trait etc.) I can create "Governors" (level 5 henchmen of my own design). I level them up as commanders and then send them to each city I own...POW -35%ish unrest EACH! With that, I can grow an empire of 15+ cities...unstoppable.

with prison i dont realy like the -1 growth so i never take it. does it stack with the onyx throne???

Ness 5 Jul, 2014 @ 1:07am

I like to do two fortresses, each with the highest essence and production combo that I can find. One gets an Infirmary and Great Arena to make tanky front line fighters to protect the mages and archers I build in my other fortress with a Strike Garrison.

Of course, I usually play a mage and thus have lots of unit buffs to put on the fortreses, and I make those tanky front line fighters for the sole purpose of protecting my Hero, mages, and archers from their front line, so it kind of depends on playstyle.

great guide ty!

Ryukaa 8 Jan, 2014 @ 12:23pm

I would recommend 2 or 3 Fortress sities Total in larger empires.
The Onyx throne for lvl 5 really reduces unrest into nothingness.
