Overview[]

Build a mighty city to conquer Atlantis. You city is where all your troops are housed, your resources are stored, and where your main base is located.

All troops and resources produced are automatically transferred to your city. Population is combined from your city and your Outposts.

Level 11 and up buildings have Race Specific Art.


City Builds[]

The way you build your city depends on the way you want to play the game as well as the time you have to devote to it. Most people agree that more garrisons is the way to go unless you have the money to spend on Rubies to buy Testronius Powder. But you will still need idle population, so you can't fill your City with ONLY garrisons... so there must be a balence. Adjust as needed to fit your playing preference.

For information on how to set your Outposts, visit the link.

Dedicated DoA'ers[]

  • All main buildings except Theater
  • 3-6 Houses
  • Remaining building slots are Garrisons
  • The above is assuming you have around 10 fields at level 5

The reasoning behind this, you must have enough population to build troops! And unless you start the realm and join an alliance that is well established, you have to have a few thousand extra pop for fields when you start out. If you don't have any fields, you can build less houses or just use the extra population for troops. If you are able to nullify the fields later, build less houses and more garrisons. The reason for no Theater is that you only really use it in the beginning and it is usally at the top of the list for nullifcation later on, therefore, its better to just not build it in the first place. Storage Vault is a controversial topic... some like it, some do not. I find it useful even at 10 million power, because even if I am attacked overnight I can still set some buildings to build while I get my resources back. Level 10 Vault can protect 3 million of each resource, which is more than enough to set a few buildings. Resources should be obtained mainly from attacking other players.

Weekend Warriors[]

  • All main buildings except Theater
  • 5-8 Houses
  • Remaining building slots are Garrisons
  • The above is assuming you have around 10 fields at level 5

The reasoning behind this, see above information, as well as... this type of player will not be online much during the week, therefore having enough population to set large troop builds is vital to growing and keeping up with other players. If you use this build in combination with the recommended build on the Outposts page, you should have enough population to set enough troops to last for a few days at a time.


Dragon Keep[]

Raise your City's Great Dragon by upgrading the Dragon's Keep. Nurtured with care, the Great Dragon will defend your city with devotion and ferocity. The citizens honor, love, and fear the Great Dragon.

The game starts with a level 1 Dragon Keep already built.

Theater[]

Citizens attend the Theater to be entertained and forget their cares. This increases your city's Happiness. Happier citizens don't mind taxes as much. Every level increased in the Theater will increase citizen happiness by 2% or 3% (varies with level) which means you may then increase the amount that they are taxed by 2% or 3% and thus earn more gold per hour! This is building is only useful during the very early levels of the game.
