I. The Four Main Resources
Resource | Primary Use | Priority |
|---|---|---|
🌲 Wood | City Hall & Building Upgrades | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
🪨 Stone | City Hall & Building Upgrades | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
🌾 Food | Troop Training & Upkeep | ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ |
⛏️ Iron | Advanced Troops & Training | ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ |
💡 No resource is permanently the most important. Your priorities will change as your kingdom grows.
II. Why Am I Always Short on Wood and Stone Early On?
During the early game, most quests focus on city development.
You'll constantly upgrade your City Hall and other buildings, making Wood and Stone your biggest resource sinks.
Since only lower-tier troops are available at this stage, Food and Iron consumption remains relatively low.
📈 Early Game Priority
🌲 Wood > 🪨 Stone > 🌾 Food > ⛏️ Iron
Tip:
Focus on securing enough Wood and Stone to avoid slowing down your building progress. Prioritize occupying Wood and Stone resource tiles.
III. Why Do Food and Iron Become Scarce Later?
As your Lord level increases, you'll unlock stronger troops and participate in Alliance battles, World Map conflicts, and Season Wars.
Higher-tier troops require significantly more Food and Iron, while continuous battles also increase troop replacement costs.
Eventually, maintaining your army becomes your largest resource expense.
📈 Mid & Late Game Priority
⛏️ Iron > 🌾 Food > 🌲 Wood > 🪨 Stone
Tip:
Shift your resource focus toward Food and Iron before entering large-scale wars. Try to keep a balanced number of resource tiles for each type.
IV. Where Can I Get Resources?
1. City Resource Buildings
Tip:
Upgrade resource buildings early. They provide excellent long-term value.
2. World Map Resource Tiles
Tip:
Regularly replace low-level resource tiles with higher-level ones.
Alliance territory provides additional gathering bonuses.
Stronger Alliances usually unlock better gathering technology.
3. Shops
Tip:
Alliance Shop and Merit Shop offer valuable resources.
Discounted resources in the VIP Shop are usually worth buying.
4. Marketplace
Tip:
Check the Marketplace frequently.
Purchase cheap resources whenever available.
VIP Shop discounts generally offer the best value.
5. Raiding Other Players
Tip:
Scout enemy cities before attacking.
Successful raids can yield a large amount of resources.
V. How to Manage Resources Efficiently
The secret isn't hoarding resources—it's spending them wisely based on your current stage of progression.
