01 / THE GUIDE
Territory & Resource Management
Expanding your domain involves conquering neighboring lands, each offering new resources and strategic value for warfare. Control of a territory lets you tap its resources to strengthen your armies and develop your realm.
Balancing offense, defense, and development each turn is essential; expanding too fast can leave you vulnerable, while focusing on growth can provide long‑term advantages in battles.
- Consider the strategic position of a new land before conquering it.
- Allocate resources to both military and development to keep a stable front.

Character Recruitment
As you grow your territory, dozens of unique heroes with personal stories and special abilities become available. Recruiting the right mix of characters influences success in both strategic and tactical challenges.
Each hero brings distinct skills, so assembling a party that complements your playstyle can turn difficult encounters into manageable tasks.
- Review each hero’s special ability before adding them to your party.
- Mix characters with complementary strengths for balanced combat.
