The Golden Age

There are two main phases of Golden Age: Sire Mode, and City Mode.

In sire mode, you can complete quests and speak with NPC’s to raise your sire into a king of legends. In City mode, you raise your town and conquer resources to make a kingdom fit for your king!

In order to switch between the two modes click on the Icons displayed below.(You do not have a city right away, you must first complete the introductory quests.)

A.) City Mode: Once you are given a city, you can click on the icon here to view that city in city mode.

B.) VIP: If this icon is lit yellow, you have VIP status. VIP status means you get more daily allowance, more resources, more hero quests, more tarot deviations and many other perks! In order to become a VIP player, you must purchase a VIP card from the item mall.

C.) Sanctum City: Press this button to warp back to Sanctum City in sire mode if you are in city mode or looking at the battlefield.
