⛏️ Gathering Strategy

  • • Send ALL marches to gather before sleeping — world map gathering produces 10–50× more than passive buildings
  • • Target higher-level nodes for better resources per hour
  • • Alliance territory provides gathering bonuses
  • • Use gathering-speed heroes (Giselle, Athena, blue-rarity heroes)
  • • Proximity reduces travel time — gather near your HQ

🛡️ Resource Protection

  • • Warehouse only protects resources below its limit — excess can be raided
  • • Spend resources before logging off
  • • Maintain NAP (Non-Aggression Pact) alliance status
  • • Position in alliance territory for protection
  • • Keep reserves below warehouse protection threshold

⚠️ Skip Resource Buildings

Four max-level resource buildings produce less than 2M daily resources, yet upgrading costs 16M+ total. Passive production is weak compared to gathering — invest builders in HQ progression buildings instead.
