How to Play?

## Beginner Gameplay

***Welcome all to a short guide beginner gameplay on Million Lords!***

##### **First steps**

First of all, after you install the game and set your Lord name, make sure you connect it to your Google/Apple Play or Facebook account. This way you prevent losing all the game play advance you have made.

After you log-in, you will see your main capital surrounded by 5 neutral towns. These neutrals are only visible to you and no one can take them. Depending on when you log into the game, there may be other neutrals around the map for you to take as well. Please keep in mind that there is a daily cap of 30 neutrals, and you can only take neutrals as your city count in below 30 towns.

Our guide helper will walk you through your first steps into this game and direct you by providing useful tips.

##### **Keep on playing…**

After you have built your kingdom points by attacking neutrals with only 20 defense, your journey begins here as you are facing a new challenge. Attacking other players to grow your power and level up even more. Going against other players, it’s a different level, as most likely their defense is better than the neutrals, since they produce troops over time and they can upgrade the cities higher level than 1.

For example, if they spend their gold on upgrading a city to level 10, just the city defense alone will be 300 already. And with potential defensive skills or items, their defense may be even better. To know about that factor you should always scout and look into the detailed report. Actual players may also move troops around in their city's to stop your attacks. Or they may counter-attack and try to take away your cities!

All this is different from attacking neutrals, because you will have to take this factor into consideration when you attack others.

**How to improve your skills**

In order to make things work, you will want to skill mostly into attack skills (Striker and Fearless), because when it starts, cities change owners quite often. It’s not worth skilling into defense yet, and neither in production, as you will get most of your troops by leveling up, until you gain cities and have high production, but as well chests and skill points.

*Often the changing point is around 50-60.*

In the beginning, you should always attack with at least 100% XP gain. Even better if 150%-200%. As a tip, don’t fight those who are below 100% as it’s not worth much. At the beginning, you want to level up to start producing troops and gold. Wasting troops on unnecessary attacks, won’t help at all.

Also, don’t forget to wait for the cities to cool down. It takes 1h for a city to cool down and when you attack, you will see a timer of how many minutes are left. Attacking before the timer runs off, you will not benefit entirely of the 100%/200% XP gain.

As you advance in the game, our game guide helper will walk you through the tutorial. If you think it’s not necessary, you can always click the skip button.

**OLD VERSION**

When you first log-in you'll have 5 neutral towns surrounding your main capital. These neutrals are only visible to you, no one can take them. Depending on when you log into the game, there may be other neutrals around the map for you to take as well. Do keep in mind that there is a daily cap of 30 neutrals, and you can only take neutrals when your city count is below 30 towns.

After the short time of building up your kingdom points by attacking neutral city's with only 20 defense, you will face a greater challenge: Attacking other players to grow your power and your level even more. Other players are a whole new and different challenge then you had before. Their defense is most likely way better than the defense of the neutral city's, since they produce troops over time. Their level 1 cities will have 20 defense, but also additional troops that count as the defense as well. They will produce troops in the cities over time which will make the defense greater with every minute. They can also get cities at a higher level than 1. If they spend their gold on upgrading a city to level 10 for example, just the city defense alone will be 300 already. And with potential defensive skills or items, their defense may be even better. To know about that factor you should always scout and look into the detailed report. Actual players may also move troops around in their city's to stop your attacks. Or they may counter-attack and try to take away your city's! All that is different from attacking neutral cities. This is a whole new factor you will have to calculate when you attack other players.

To work against this you will want to skill mostly into attack skills (Striker and Fearless) because at the start the cities change owners a lot. It is not worth skilling into defensive skills yet. Neither is skilling into production because you will get most of your troops and gold by leveling up until you get some city's and have high production. *Often the changing point is around level 50-60.*

In the beginning, you should also always be attacking with at least 100% XP gain. Even better if it's 150-200%. A good tip at that point is that you really shouldn't care about anyone below 100%, especially when you have desertion. Its simply not worth fighting at that point, no matter what you get. Because at the start you really want to level up since it is your biggest troop and gold income for now. And wasting troops gold etc. on unnecessary attacks like that won't help you at all.
