Rise of Empires (Deprecated)

It’s not the easiest game to learn; here are my notes and links. When I discovered it was occupying a shit load of space, I deleted it. I have marked this deprecated, although others may find some of this useful. I had got to the point where I couldn’t be bothered to learn how to play what started as extensions and then became the main story. (I had fun for a while …).

Do you have to pay money to be effective?

Quite a few things seem to be behind a real world shop. Is there a free way to pass these barriers. My first obstacle seems to be “Royal Prestige”, which it seems must be paid for; it is for 30 days and and a subscription. It’s over £20 p.m. Maybe get a month, to get the extra buildings?

Join an alliance

I didn’t do this as I started, I was expecting some distraction like in simcity. It’s actually helpful, very helpful and if you can find one that’ll take you join as soon as possible. Next I needed to work how to teleport my city to be contiguous with my allies. After achieving 9th level, I found a button in my knapsack that does this. Alliances can declare themselves peaceful and so we will not necessarily be bothered with attacks all the time. Other advice is to find the territory yourself, but it seems that very junior members of the alliance cannot ‘see’ the home province however, the boss can send a teleport location.

Some more on alliances from Medieval Fun and a post on how to mail allies.

Constraints

One of the pieces of advice I read stated that Iron was a key shortage area, I find that gems and gold are constraints, and I keep running our of charcoal and occasionally tavern supplies.

Stationing Heroes

I think it goes like this: use gems to buy stationing points, then upgrade the town hall to get garrison points and then station your heroes.

How to

• How to get more Gold and Gems and other interesting stuff
• Establish a War Academy, this helps to create rallies. The academy has prerequisites, I hope it’s not the Royal Prestige! Phew, its Castle Level 8.
• Use the Blacksmith, make materials and equipment, fandom also comments.
• MediaevalFun comments on the first buildings to upgrade. and how to become powerful, they also have an article on the special buildings.

Hint anthologies

• from Medieval Fun, a comprehensive list of hints.
• from App Gamer, Hints and Cheats, and a Strategy Guide
• Fandom have a wiki as do the RoEplayer, the latter is more comprehensive 10 June 2023
• Mr Guider’s guide. …
• And Mr Gill has a sub channel on youtube
• Advice on Events i.e. the schedule in particular

Heroes

• Fandom have a guide for Heroes, which emphasises Mr Guider’s advice, “There are four qualities of heroes; orange(the best ones), purple(good), blue(average), green(bad).”
• Levelling up Heroes, by activity and purchase,
  • scour the country side, after 8th level from the challenge quests, you get XP and gems.
  • otherwise, recruit heroes, get medals instead of duplicates, trade the hero medals for wisdom medals at the arena, use these to buy hero skills

Research

I looked to speed up research, I made a google query, without much luck. It seems a 35 level dragon helps research, the Institute level is also key, and thirdly, the alliance technology tree.

Armies

I have concentrated on economics, without Royal Prestige and at 14th level maurauder/17th level City hit a flat spot. I need a stronger Army. This, an article called Research at fandom’s wiki is full of obvious and some less obvious hints. This how to become powerful faster in rise of empires. says, “Train your troops and keep the upgraded”. Obvious really!

Enhancing your troops command capacity will help, and I need to look at Crafting and my citizenship class

Reign of Chaos

This is a bit tricky to understand, here are some hints,

• RoE: Ice and Fire – Occupying New Tiles on Youtube
• Where does multiplier for influence come from, from appgamer, I need to see if they have anything better
• A guide-to-reign-of-chaos-planning in rise-of-empires-ice-and-fire, from Brother W gaming. This will take some reading. It’s quite dense and needs an understanding of the game.
• I made a query on the “ruin mines” which wasn’t very helpful as I was looking for the 2×2 objects outside the RoC but has some advice in how to play the RoC stage.
