Map Overview

When you play your first game (and any new game after) a new window will open in your browser. You will be made the leader of a random Kingdom however as noted in future games you could select your own Kingdom if this option is available.

You will know your Kingdom as it will have a border, all units within that border will wear your Houses Coat of Arms (premium account feature) or your kingdoms’ default Coat of arms. Also you will see what we call “Fog of War”, this will prevent you from seeing what your neighbor's have and this is also the same with your neighbors’

Top of screen you have both your resources bar and in game stock market, click on stock market dropdown to open market and buy and sell resources [Note: Emeralds cannot be brought on the market.]

In the right hand side you will have the province administration tab – this will allow quick access to your provinces to construct buildings and recruit new units.

At the very bottom you will have 3 options available “News” | “Diplomacy” | “Spy”

1. The News Tab will take you to the Kings Chronicles the in game newspaper.
2. The Diplomacy Tab will take you to your diplomacy where you can contact other players and change diplomatic relations.
3. The Spy tab takes you to your Espionage HQ there you can recruit spies, dismiss them and give tasks.
