The loop: resources generate automatically → spend them on Buildings, Barracks, and Stable → use the map to Attack, Support, Scout, or gift resources to allies → queue things up and come back later.

Buildings

• Headquarters — speeds up all other building upgrades
• Timber Camp / Clay Pit / Iron Mine — boost that resource's production rate
• Warehouse — raises how much of each resource you can store (numbers turn red when you're nearly full and wasting production)
• Farm — raises your population cap (how many troops you can have)
• Barracks — speeds up training of Spearmen, Swordsmen, and Militia
• Stable — speeds up Scout training
• Wall — boosts your defense when raided

Troops

• Spearman — cheap, balanced, decent at everything
• Swordsman — expensive, strongest attack, best for raiding
• Militia — cheap, fast, strong defense, but can't carry loot — a pure home guard
• Scout — no attack, no defense, no carry. Purely for reconnaissance — see "Scouting" below

Raiding & Support

• Attacking sends troops on a real trip — travel time depends on distance
• Losses are proportional on both sides — a near-even fight hurts everyone, not just the loser
• Support stations troops at another village to help defend it — recall any time, or Recall All if you're supporting several
• Set an alliance tag in the Account panel — same-tag villages show up blue on the map and get a friendly-fire warning before you attack them
• Same-tag villages can also send each other resources directly from the raid panel
• Every raid produces a full Battle Report — click one to expand the breakdown of troops, losses, and loot

Scouting

• Send scouts to a village from its raid panel — if you send more than they currently have stationed at home, their exact resources and every building's level get revealed to you
• The reveal goes to your own event log only — it's never shown anywhere public, and the target is never told they were scouted
• Scouts never fight and always return home safely, whether the mission succeeds or fails

The world

• The realm is a 20×20 world — your map shows an 8×8 window into it, use the arrows or Recenter to look around
• The World Overview mini-map below it shows every village at a glance — click a dot to jump there
• Nearby Villages lists your closest neighbors; Watchlist lets you pin anyone regardless of distance — both jump straight to their raid panel

Staying informed

• Realm Activity shows raids and support happening across the whole world, not just your own
• The header shows how many lords are online right now
• An incoming attack (not support, not a gift) flashes the browser tab and plays a sound once — mute it in the header if you'd rather not hear it
