Which Pack Should You Buy?
If you can only buy one pack, Total Development is the most valuable as the instant completion and march speed bonuses let you progress extremely fast. The Starter Pack provides great one-time resources, while Total Advantage helps if you want to level your Hero and Captains quickly.
Priority Actions While Bonuses Are Active
1. Rush Your Capitol and buildings
With Total Development active, use the instant completion to upgrade your Capitol as high as possible. Your Capitol level determines what level your other buildings can be.
At the same time construct as many buildings as possible and get them as high as possible within the 48 hours time frame.
2. Attack Monsters on the Map
With 10x march speed and 90% cheaper revivals, this is your time to be aggressive:
- Attack monsters for Valor and resources
- Explore crypts with your captains
Don't worry so much about troop losses! Revival costs are reduced by 90%, so you can afford to be aggressive.
3. Research Constantly
Use the instant completion on research projects. Start your first research project immediately and keep researching constantly. See our Research Basics guide for what to prioritize.
4. Join a Clan
Find and join an active clan within your first few hours. Clan members can help speed up your construction and provide protection. See Joining a Clan for tips.
What NOT to Do
- Don't let your Hero reach level 20 too quickly - All starter pack bonuses end when your Hero hits level 20
- Don't attack other players - Focus on PvE (monsters, crypts) during this period
- Don't neglect crypts - Send your captains to crypts daily for essential rewards
- Don't forget research - It should be running constantly from day one
After Bonuses End
Once your Hero reaches level 20, all starter pack bonuses expire. The game becomes more strategic:
- Plan construction carefully (no more instant completion)
- Be more careful with troop losses (full revival costs)
- Continue building your economy and army
- Stay active in your clan
Free-to-Play Tips
If you prefer not to purchase starter packs, you can still progress well by:
- Following the tutorial quests for free resources and rewards
- Joining an active clan early for help and protection
- Completing daily quests consistently
- Exploring crypts every day with your captains
- Focusing on resource production and economy first
