4. What is more important in battle, troop size or hero stats and specialties?
Answer: In battle there is no absolute formula for success, only by balancing a variety of factors can you ensure victory. First, you’ll need to grasp the importance of teamwork: cooperation with your legion and kingdom are prerequisites for victory. Next, you’ll need to find heroes with high stats and level them up through city activities like Bandit Blowout, Improve Roads and Expand Market. Finally, you must cultivate a massive army. Only armies with high troop size stand a chance in large-scale battles. Don’t forget that the larger your troop, the more food it consumes. No battle is won through one-sided strength, only through balanced growth and cultivation will you find true success.

9. Why does it say “your building queue has already reached the limit, you cannot upgrade?”
Answer: The default building queue size is 4 projects. If you already have 4 projects in progress, you’ll need to wait until one of those projects completes before initiating another. You can also use the Lu Ban Manual or the Authoritative Lu Ban Manual to expand your building queue limit to 10 projects!

10. Why don’t you lose silver when recruiting soldiers?
Answer: Recruiting “Clash of Kingdoms” troop types require resources not silver!

11. Does your hero need to bring soldiers when doing Intensive Study?
Answer: When a hero is deployed, doing a bandit blowout or participating in city improvement he/she will need to bring soldiers. The hero’s troop size is decided by his/her Politics. That being said, a hero does not need to bring troops to do intensive study.

12. Resources aren’t shared between manors? How do I transport resources between manors?
Answer: Resources are not shared between Manors. You’ll need to rally a troop of Carriers or Carrier Wagons to help you transport your resources between manors. Once rallied, deploy the troop, resources in tow, to the city you wish to transport to and when they get there just unload the resources and you’re done! Alternatively, you can pay a small fee to transport them instantly at the city Post House.

13. What kind of Hero should I recruit? Which heroes have high stats to begin with and which develop quickly?

14. Why does it always take my Heroes longer than other players’ to reach a battle?
Your Hero’s Troop is restricted by the march speed of the units rallied, and each unit type has its own marching peed. Before battle, try stationing your troops in cities near the front line, this should increase their chances of staying with the main pack when the battle starts!

15. What do the “30% Faster” and “Exact Arrival” functions do in the “Deployment” interface?
Answer: 30% Faster: decreases march time by 30%.
Exact Arrival: Given your unit’s troop speed and the distance to your destination, this function allows you to control what time your troop will arrive at a certain city. Let’s say you want to deploy your Heroes now and they’re scheduled to arrive on June 18th at 8:50 PM, but in order to enter a city simultaneously with your legion you must arrive at 10:00 PM June 18th  +/- 30 secs. In this situation, you can use Exact Arrival to ensure that you will arrive within that 30 sec. time frame.

16. How do I adjust attack settings?
Answer: When you Rally a troop, look for the “Combat Settings” button in the upper right to set Attack and Defense settings. Alternatively, when deploying a troop, find the “Attack Settings” button on the bottom right corner of the Deploy window and click to enter the interface. You can select, “Attack enemies within range,” “priorities” and “tactics.”

17. My Troop has reached the front line but has no food and I don’t have a manor in this city. What do I do?
Answer: Units without food provisions cannot participate in battle or reach the target city. You can deploy a Carrier unit to the front line and “Provide Aid” on the Battlefield interface.

18. When you go to battle, do you need to do the fighting yourself, or is it done automatically?
Answer: The system will do all the fighting for you in accordance with your settings and stats.

19. Can I retreat midway through a battle?
Answer: At this point you cannot retreat before a battle has finished.

20. What kind of city should I build my manor in?
Answer: Some cities require that you have a certain rank in order to build a manor there. For instance, if the rank requirement of the city is 5, then you must be of level 5 or above to build a manor in that city. Other than that, where you choose to build your city will be based upon your own tactics. Some cities come with specific features such as increased output of a certain resources. You should keep in mind a city’s particular features and physical location when deciding where to open your manor.

21. If my manor is in a city on the front line, what unit type should I develop?
Answer: You should take into consideration your legion and kingdom’s specific needs when deciding what unit type to develop. Ex: If you’re on the defensive, recruit more archers!

22. How long does it take to completely recover a Hero’s stamina?
Answer: A hero’s stamina will recover by 200 points per hour.

23. What kind of troops should my Hero rally? What specialties should I go for?
Answer: Every Hero will have their own preset specialties, stats and formations. Use this data to decide what unit type to rally. For example, Xu Shu’s Wild Goose Formation significantly increases Archer attack, so most players will have Xu Shu rally Archers.

24. What is the relationship between a City’s level and military strength?
Answer: Before being captured by a Kingdom, every city has NPC Troops defending it. The higher the level of the city, the greater its NPC’s military strength and the higher the level of its troop types.

25. I’ve got a Soldier Tomb Map, why can I still not see my Hero in Treasure Hunt?
Answer: Please disband your troop and then check the Treasure Hunt interface again.

26. How do I increase my rank?
Answer: The premier and other Rank 8 players can adjust your rank. You should try to improve your Contribution or Honor levels to prove your dedication to the Kingdom before requesting an increase in Rank.

Answer: You can get Bronze Mirrors through completing Missions and participating in activities.
