Short descriptions of the basic resources and how to obtain them.
Land[]
Land is the ressource, which determines the levels and ranking of the players and the overall winner of a age.Land is also required to get structures (by buying them,wishing them or getting them from others),which in turn increase max housing(increased army amount) and income.
Gaining Land[]
You can gain lands from the wildlands quests(good for the beginning of the game),from other players and NPCs by attacking them(keep in mind to get maximum you need siege troops as well which would allow you to also get structures from the target),gaining them from monster lair quest(doesnt give as much land as attacking but it gives more than wildlands,keep in mind these battles are dangerous and the more troops you bring into the battle the bigger the monster army would be),gaining it from wishing(either with Ring of Limited Wishes or Wish spell), using a Stone of the gods or by winning Jousts. Having the Master Farmer will also grant you land each season.Some good events wether those happening each season or while sailing might also grant you some land.Successfully Slaying a Vampire also gives you some amount of land on all continents.Forgery grants you some land as well.The Altered Reality spell might result in gaining or losing land(and other stats).
Losing Land[]
Basically the opposite of most of the above.You can also lose land when you get demoted because of low honour(for honour bound classes only) and you will also lose land(and other stats)when you change classes after level 4.
Level 10[]
level 10 is the highest possible level in the game,but getting to level 10 is different from other levels.While leveling up to other levels only requires you to gain enough land in that continent in order to get to level 10 you have to become level 9 on all three continents.Once you get to level 10 you gain unique buffs to some of your skills.For more information check the Class you're interested in,in the classes section of this wiki.Getting level 10 also prevents all kinds of demotions.
Movement Points (mp)[]
Mp is perhaps the most valuable resource in the game.Almost anything you do needs Some amount of mp.It is generated in small amounts(5) every 15 minutes and by higher amounts each season.The amount of mp gained each season depends on your level(after level 3 it increases by 10),your class,wether or not you have The Boots of Speed,The time of the day(For Vampires only,they gain more in night and less during the day),The Alliance level(10 more if your alliance is level 2),Being in the top 10 Rankings(you gain 11-your rank)and having more kingdoms(you gain 4 per kingdom).
Gold[]
Gold is the currency used in buy food,troops and siege in the marketplace.Ships can be bought by gold in Port cities.Peasants and mp can be bought in the secret city.Magic items can be bought in cities with a magic shop.Training troops,repairing ships,buying structures,some skills,recruiting signature troops in the training hall quest,hiring spies,buying cities(and opening new markets in a bought city),some troops upkeep,heroes upkeep,questing for heroes and artifacts,performing espionage,drinking in the tavern and paying gold tithe also require gold.
Gold is earned with taxes(affected by the number of peasants,kind of taxes,class and number of structures),during battles(both land attacks and quests),during "good" events,using certain magic items,selling stuff,Stealing with espionage and by destroying ships during naval battles.Successfully Slaying a vampire,having The Chest of Plenty,having The Rod of Necromancy,having The Merchant King ,having The Ninja and the bandit ability Tribute will also grant some gold.
Food[]
Food is used for upkeep of most of the troops.It is consumed by your army each Season and depending on class or hero some of them might be used for tithe.Not being able to provide the food necessary for upkeep would result in desertion of some of the troops.The production of food depends on taxes(the lower the better),the number of peasants,the weather and class.Some skills(Tend and Create Food and Wish),magic items,heroes and artifacts may also provide food.Food can be bought or sold in marketplace.It might be lost or gained from random events.Some skills can be used to reduce someone else's food,also 30% of food is sopiled each season and this number is affected by hero,artifact and class(Rangers have Preserve ability which reduces this number).
Peasants[]
Peasants are a valuable resources used both in gold and food production,without peasants a kingdom is doomed.They can be enlisted into the first tier troops but it is Not recommended because they are extremely hard to get,the only ways being winning them with battle,some random events,using a Stone of the gods ,having The Rod of Necromancy,having The Master farmer ,automatically gain them each season(which is based on taxes),wishing for them with Ring of Limited Wishes or Wish spell and buying them from secret city.
Some spells,skills and items can be used to reduce peasants and these should not be underestimated.
