Guide

This guide will help you to win a game and understand the mechanics of the game !

How to win ?
To win a game, you have to defeat all other tribes. To defeat a tribe, you must conquer all his villages because a village is the case where you can buy a unit and it's the case who gives you the coins. To conquer a village, one of your unit have to be on the village and wait 1 round and there will be a button with the flag who mean "conquer the village". So this village will be yours. But the units of your opponent will also protect their villages and will try to conquer your village. So you have also to protect your villages ! On the right, you can see a village and a warrior.

Options
So you have clicked on "start a game", you can choose a tribe (you have just the tribe Frelia because you don't have unlocked other tribes. You will have a button in the middle of the height of the screen on the left "information tribes", click on it if you want to see what is unique in this tribe (but if you don't understand, don't click). Then click on "choose this tribe" on the down.

You will can choose the difficulty (you just have 1 difficulty: apprentice because other difficulties will be unlocked when you finish achievements. And choose how many opponent tribes there will be. (Choose 1 because it's your first game). And let's start!

The starting of the game
So what are these button? Why there are clouds?

Firstly, you won't be necessarily at the same place that on the picture. Because every game have a new world.

So you will have a village (on the picture, it's the castle), you also will have a warrior (a basic unit of melee) and you can see a second unit. On the picture it's a guard, this second unit will be different in different tribes. Your villages give you gold every round, you can see on the picture that now we have 5 gold and on the right, we see that we win 2 gold by round. There is a limit orange around the village, it's your territory where you can do "actions" to upgrade your village.

Down, there is 4 buttons, the first is not very important (this will show you what units you didn't have done a action), the second is to see your stats (not very important), the third is really important, you will can make research to develop new technologies (but this cost gold), and the last button is to finish your round, when you have done all actions.

The clouds hide the case where you don't have explore. When you explore a case with cloud, so when a unit moves next to clouds, the unit "explore" this case so the clouds disappear and you can see it.

Actions
You will have to do actions every round to make your tribe stronger and to explore new villages.

Firstly, every round, you will have to do a action for each units. To do a action with a unit, click on the unit, and a tab will appears down. And there will be all the actions you can do with the unit that you have clicked, so now click on the action you want he does. There is many actions possible but I will show you the main actions:
 * Move: click on the tile where you want he goes (he can move just around him, in a blue tile).

Secondly, you have to upgrade your village:
 * Attack: a unit can only attack if there is an opponent in that unit's Range. Units who are marked red can be attacked. If the attacked unit survived, it will also counter-attack (if possible)
 * Recover: if the unit lost lives before and isn't dead, it can self-heal for 4 (8 if that unit is low on health) and skip its turn

You will have to do actions in the area around your village. You can just do actions to upgrade your villagers if there is a thing in this tile (apples, cheese, field to cultivate...) and if you have the technology to do it (and the gold). For example, there is apples around the castle, to take it and upgrades your village, you have to have the technology "apples", but don't worry, you have already this technology, because every tribe have a technology already bought, and for the tribe Frelia, it's the technology "apples". So you click on the tile where is the apples (and in the area in your color (red)), there is information about the tile you have clicked and how much it costs. You click the button to do it, so the apples are taken, you lost 2 gold (it was the costs) and you see the progress bar have one more. When this bar is full, this village upgrade to the next level, so it will give you more gold.

But at a moment, you have no more apples in your area to upgrade the village. But you can see there is a tile where there is a thing. What is it? You click on the case and you see that this can upgrade your base. However you have to buy the research to make it. For example, on the picture, there isn't apples, but there is a field to cultivate, so you go to research (clicking on the button down "research") and you buy the technology to do a cultivate field.

Now you moved your units, you don't have enough gold to upgrade because you upgraded your village. So you finish your round. Click on the button down "finish round". And now the other tribes will play like you before. You wait... And now it's at you to play and let's do it again until you meet other tribes.

If you have gold but want not to upgrade your village (because you have already done or other reasons...) use the gold to buy a unit!

Villages
So you upgraded your villages.... You (normally) remark that, when a village upgrade, you can choose an ability (growing the area of your village, gold, more people in the village...). Try to upgrade village until the level 5. Why ? Because from level 5 (and 6, 7, 8...), you will have a guardian ! It's a very powerful unit that can't be bought ! He will really help you to fight other tribe, so move him toward the opponent! Every guardians are unique in every tribes, and when you will have enough Ruby, you can unlock a second guardian who is not as powerful, but have a lot of strategics and tactical capacities.

Don't forget to protect your village, because any opponent units could conquer your village. Losing a village means less gold for you and more gold for them.

Additional information: it's not a problem if there is an opponent unit in the area of your village, but this means he is near your village...

Conquer
To win a game, you have to conquer all villages of the opponent tribes. But in the beginning, your goal will be mostly be to conquer as many villages as possible to expand your empire. In the beginning of the game, there will be a lot of villages not belonging to a tribe. Those villages can be conquered without any fight
