Kingdoms War
The Kingdoms War is a worldwide Tournament where the Lords of one Kingdom compete against the Lords from another. To view tasks and rewards, check the Kingdoms War box in the Events window.
The Tournament consists of three rounds. Each of them lasts for 16 hours. The Kingdom that wins two rounds gains victory in the Tournament.
You need to be an Order member to take part in the Kingdoms War. You can earn points in your home Kingdom and in the enemy Kingdom. To relocate to the latter, use the Invasion item.
You can find out which Kingdom you will be fighting against by going to:
- The World Map, where there will be an arrow between the enemy Kingdom and your own.
- The Events window, where you have to select the Kingdoms War box, then the Kingdoms tab.
Town relocation
At the start of the Kingdoms War, you can use the Invasion item to relocate your Town to the enemy Kingdom. To move your Town back to your home Kingdom, use the Return item. You can find both of these items in the Bonuses tab of the Item Store or in the location's information window on the enemy Kingdom map.
When you relocate your Town to the enemy Kingdom, the location of your Town in your home Kingdom will be occupied by a Shadow that will prevent other Lords from capturing your territory. When you apply the Return item, your Town will reappear in place of the Shadow.
When in the enemy Kingdom, you can move your Town within its territory using the Relocation and Runaway items. After you relocate, any previously activated Inaccessibility, Townscape, or Reputation given to you by the King will continue to have an effect on your Town.
Attention! If you change Kingdom during a Tournament, you won't be able to continue participating in the contest. You will stop earning points for your previous Kingdom and won't get them in the new one (even for personal achievements). Lords who attack your Town also won't get points.
All Lords who are members of an Order can get the Invasion and Return items in the Information tab of the Events window.
Tournament features
While in the enemy Kingdom, you can communicate in its chat. To view messages, hit the chat area and go to the Enemies Chat tab. Messages from the Lords of your Kingdom and the opposing Kingdom will be displayed in different colors.
Order Masters can communicate with each other in the special Masters Chat to plan their actions and joint attacks.
You can participate in a Raid only if it is formed in the Kingdom where your Town is currently located.
You can only send carts and reinforcements to members of your Order or Pact who are in the same Kingdom as you.
There are certain attack restrictions during the Kingdoms War. The Lords of opposing Kingdoms can attack only enemy Towns that:
- Belong to an Order
- Do not belong to an Order, but have a Palace of level 15 or higher
While in an enemy Kingdom, you can attack and capture the Eternal Stronghold and receive points for eliminating enemy warriors.
Earning points
Kingdom points are the total points of all Lords participating in the Kingdoms War. Each Lord contributes to the victory by completing tasks and earning points.
Points in the Kingdoms War are earned for:
- Yielding resources in resource locations in the enemy Kingdom
- Attacking Assailants, Alpha Assailants, and Apostates in the enemy Kingdom
- Destroying warriors of the enemy Kingdom (either in your home or the enemy Kingdom)
The points you have earned count towards both personal and Order achievements. You can view them in separate tabs.
Rules for scoring points

Each Lord earns personal points, Order points, and points for their Kingdom.

Lords who are not Order members don't earn personal points, Order points, or points for their Kingdom.
The opposing Kingdom gets points for destroying these Lords' warriors.
Lords who joined an Order 30 minutes before the Tournament was announced or later
These Lords don't earn personal points, Order points, or points for their Kingdom.
The opposing Kingdom gets points for destroying these Lords' warriors.
Lords who leave an Order or are expelled from it during the Tournament
These Lords don't earn personal points, Order points, or points for their Kingdom.

Lords who change their home Kingdom by using the Carriage item and join an Order during the Tournament
These Lords drop out from the Tournament and don't earn personal points, Order points, and points for their Kingdom, neither for the previous nor for the new one.
The opposing Kingdom receives points for destroying these Lords' warriors only if they are located in another Lord's Town as reinforcements, or in a Raid formed by another Lord.
If the Kingdoms War tasks are the same as those for other Tournaments, points will be added for all Tournaments.
End of the Tournament and rewards
If you are in the enemy Kingdom when the Kingdoms War ends, your Town will automatically be returned to your home Kingdom in place of the Town's Shadow.
The relocation to your home Kingdom is instantaneous. Marches and attacks will be canceled, and your armies, carts, and Hero will automatically appear in the Town.
There are four types of rewards for victory in the Kingdoms War.
Rewards for victory in the Kingdoms War. Special resource locations – Great Gold Mines – where the Gold yielding speed is significantly increased, appear in the triumphant Kingdom. Also, all Lords get bonuses – see their details in the Assailants, Apostates, Bonuses tab in the Events window.
Rewards for checkpoints. To receive these rewards, a Lord has to be an Order member and earn at least one point for completing tasks in the Tournament. You can expand the box of each checkpoint to view the reward.
Rewards for personal achievements. To receive these rewards, you must earn points, and your Kingdom has to gain victory in the Tournament. The value of your reward depends on the League you are in. Rewards for personal achievements are credited after the Tournament has ended.
Rewards for taking a top place in the Tournament ranking. If your Order takes a top place in the ranking, all members who earned at least one point in the Tournament receive a reward. The value of the reward depends on the League your Order belongs to and the position it has reached.
