Getting started

Begin by summoning a Master Builder using a Summoning Pearl. Throw the pearl to summon the builder, ensuring they are not placed too close to another faction's base.

Choose Your Faction
Assign a distinctive ribbon to your Master Builder to choose your faction. This is essential for establishing your base and defining your allegiance.

Build Your Base
After selecting a faction, the Master Builder will provide initial base structures. Construct these buildings to begin troop generation. Villagers will begin appearing after four minutes. Protect them to ensure your base develops successfully.

Gather Resources
As your base expands, you'll require resources. Utilize these units for gathering:
[list]
Miner: Provides gold, diamonds, and coal in exchange for cooked meat.
Hunter: Provides raw meat in exchange for emeralds.
Merchant: Offers valuable trades to aid in base development.
Expand Your Army: Recruit various combat units, including Swordsmen, Archers, Crossbowmen, and siege weapons like rams and catapults, to prepare for battle. Feed troops cooked meat to keep them following you. Exercise caution when summoning units to avoid overcrowding.

Use a Builder's Hammer or Toolbox to repair damaged structures. Defend your base against renegades, Nether enemies, and other hostile forces.

Factions will compete for dominance, so prepare for conflict. Equip your army with weapons like pirate sabers, elite swords, and katanas.



As your faction grows, unlock elite units such as knights, samurai, and elite archers. These units offer increased power and combat advantages. Further enhance your troops with advanced weapons and armor, including elite swords, pirate sabers, spears, and even armored elephants for heavy combat.


Construct specialized buildings like mines for resource production and trading outposts to exchange goods with merchants for valuable items.


With a developed base, you can command larger armies and engage in massive battles involving hundreds of units to conquer enemy factions or defend against large-scale invasions.
