Earn land
Land is a valuable resource which is necessary to grow as an empire.
There are two ways to earn land in this game:
- Explore for new acres of land.
- Attack an empire to capture land for yourself.
Exploring for land is the simplest way to earn land.
How many turns should I spend?
I'd consider spending about half the amount of turns you possess on gaining land, and then we can move onto the next step of this guide.
Attacks that can earn land
There are six types of military attacks that you can perform to gain land.
It's usually best to use Guerrilla Combat, Lay Siege, Air Strike, or Coastal Assault, since each involves only one unit type. These have a much higher chance of success compared to Standard or Surprise Attacks, and let you avoid using units your enemy is strongest against.
Types of attacks
Guerrilla Combat
By sending in only your Footmen, you can avoid your target's other forces. If successful, all structures on captured land are destroyed.
Lay Siege
By sending in only your Catapults, you can not only steal your target's land but also destroy additional structures on the land you do not capture. Mage Towers are especially vulnerable.
Air Strike
By sending in only your Zeppelins, you can not only steal your target's land but also destroy additional structures on the land you do not capture. While attacking from above, significantly more structures can be destroyed, but much fewer will be captured.
Coastal Assault
By sending in only your Galleons, you can not only steal your target's land but also destroy additional structures on the land you do not capture. Mage Towers are especially vulnerable.
Standard Attack
The standard attack type, this allows sending all types of military units to attack your target. If successful, you will steal a percentage of your target's land, potentially with some of its original structures intact.
Surprise Attack
A surprise attack grants a 25% attack power bonus and allows the attacker to bypass any shared forces the defender's clan may have, though this comes at the cost of increased troop losses for the attacker as well as a significantly higher health loss. If successful, all structures on captured land are destroyed.enemy shared defend
