Kingdoms and Castles – Quick Start

Quick start with a few tips.

Where to Start

Wood, stone, iron, and fertile land are important resources. Black stone doesn’t have any use and can only be removed if you have wood, iron, and gold to pay for its removal under the industry category.

Build a Keep and Roads

You need roads in order to build any buildings besides castle walls.

Build a House and a Farm

Villagers require food and housing. You should increase your population as fast as possible with out starving your village in order to get a surplus of builders and resource harvesters.

I recommend holding off on using orchards early on the outset as wood may be scarce and farms only require 3 to make compared to 15. It requires three workers and very fertile land to get the most out of it and takes up one extra space.

Wood

You will need to be harvesting this to get your first few houses.

You will need stone to proceed to a forester. It replaces trees that are cut down and you won’t needlessly designate areas to deforest until later. PS *deforested areas wont grow back.

Stone

Stone requires a quarry to mine,15 wood to build and 3 workers.

Builders and Worker Management

You will sometimes need to free up workers in order to have builders and force the ai to cancel tasks in the early stages.

Just uncheck the “0pen” box because workers will prioritise any jobs besides building.

Money and Defenses

The well is the most important structure in the early game and the only real defense against dragons and barbarians. Castle walls aren’t completely effective against vikings, who can bypass them unless your village is completely surrounded. Trolls can still destroy your walls despite your defenses. Strangely, trolls also have the ability to walk on water.

Turrets cost allot and require gold, a late game currency and need walls to build on.

Taxes and revenue are base on your population and ill emphasise again that a large population is required to build proper defenses.

Walls cost 5 wood 15 stone per block.

They can be built as tall as you want but when building really towers you need another section of wall to support it.
