Don't sweat it—this guide has your back! We're about to unpack the ultimate secrets to resource management and building upgrades, so let's dive in and get your kingdom ruling the icy battlefield.

Resource Acquisition and Management

Wild Gathering

There are also certain strategies for gathering resources in the wild, starting with the selection of resource points:

  • Timber / Iron Ore: Prioritize harvesting high level resource points to increase yield by 30%.
  • Meat: Higher level hunter huts + higher level resource points for 25% more yield.

*Tip: Meat is definitely the most scarce resource in the later stages of the game

In addition to this, through the reasonable configuration of the collection team, we can improve our collection efficiency.

Recommended collection teams:

Zhuge Jin (Iron Ore + 12%), Pan Feng (Coal Mine + 12%), Yang Xiu (Timber + 12%), Ma Su (Meat + 12%).

Raiding and Countermeasures

It is also a way to gain resources by looting other people's cities.Both looting resources and counter-plundering require certain strategies.

Plundering Strategy

  • Target Filtering: Prioritize attacking players with Warehouse Protection < Total Resources, City Defense < 100, and increase success rate by 40% after 23:00 at night.
  • Troop strength calculation: Single team looting limit = troop strength × load (load of level 9 troops 328), it is recommended to send 110,000 level 9 troops to loot 36 million resources in a single attack.

Defense Tips

Warehouse Resource Transformation: Deposit resources into your backpack via the Merchant Shop (cannot be looted).

Core Building Priorities

  • Furnace First: Furnace is the most important building in the city, without upgrading the fireplace, other buildings and generals can't be leveled up!
  • Ambassadors' House: The Ambassadors' House is the key to alliance aid and rallying numbers, and upgrading it dramatically boosts combat power.

The above two city buildings are recommended to be upgraded as a priority, as they correlate to the city's development cap.

Order of upgrading other buildings

  • Warehouses: synchronize upgrades to ensure resource storage.
  • Combat buildings: Prioritize upgrading barracks, military medical clinic, governor's mansion, city walls and other combat-related buildings.
  • Resource buildings: supplemental upgrades when there are gaps.

Conclusion

From wild gathering and slick raiding to milking events and leaning on your alliance, you've now got the playbook to stockpile like a pro. Pair that with prioritizing your Furnace, Embassy, and combat-ready structures, and your city's on track to rule the frozen wastes.
