2. Base & Buildings
Your desert settlement serves as your economic and military hub. Players can build and upgrade various structures, each serving a unique strategic purpose. All buildings consume clay, wood, and water during construction, and upgrading them unlocks new game features and improves efficiency.
Tent of Command (HQ)
Central structure. Determines the player's overall level. Unlocks new structures, research tiers, and troop caps. Upgrading this tent is a priority for growth.
Camel Stables
Trains camel-mounted units (archers, lancers). Each upgrade increases training speed and unlocks advanced units. Requires water and grain as upkeep.
Date Farms
Primary source of food. Produces passively over time. Output increases with upgrades. Can be raided by enemies if unprotected.
Clay Kiln
Produces clay, required for almost all construction. Can be upgraded to increase yield and storage capacity.
Palm Workshop
Produces crafting materials used in gear, siege equipment, and upgrades. Higher levels unlock additional tool types.
Water Wells
Generates water. Essential for unit upkeep and construction. Can be upgraded to produce faster and store more water. Wells deplete slightly over time and regenerate naturally.
Caravanserai
Controls trade missions and allows caravan dispatch to NPC cities or other players. Trade yields gold, XP, or rare goods. Upgrading increases caravan slots and journey range.
Market Tent
Used to exchange surplus resources. Players can offer goods or set buy orders. Higher levels unlock global market and fee reductions.
Training Grounds
Used to upgrade unit abilities. Once troops are trained in the stables or barracks, their skills can be improved here using silver and XP.
Scout Tent
Trains scouts for map exploration, enemy intel gathering, and stealth sabotage. Each upgrade improves success rates and unlocks more intel types.
Barracks
Houses infantry units. Used for training light and heavy foot soldiers. Troop training speed and cap improve with building level.
Watchtower
Provides vision over enemy marches and defense bonuses. Upgrading increases radius and detection speed. Necessary for early warning during PvP attacks.
Building Mechanics
- Construction requires resources (clay, water, date food, wood).
- Time-based upgrades can be sped up via consumables or premium currency.
- Only a limited number of buildings can be queued at once (based on HQ level).
- Each building has levels from 1–20+ depending on rarity and tech research unlocks.
Defensive Design
Players can arrange buildings strategically. Watchtowers and barracks near the edge help with defense. City walls (unlockable later) can be placed to control attack paths.
