Boosters

Boosters are special items that can be earned or bought. There are two different types of Boosters - the ones that affect Town and the one that affects Troops.

Depending on their type, boosters can either amplify your own bonuses or reduce the opponent’s. .

## Town Boosters

### Peace Shield

One of the most important boosters is the Peace Shield. Once activated, it protects your base from attacks. Peace Shields have a limited duration, depending on which Peace Shield you decided to activate. Certain actions can remove the shield before it expires, such as scouting, or attacking other players.

You can obtain 8 Hours Peace Shields from the Store (Items > Store > War) and Alliance Store (Alliance> Alliance Store). Depending on your VIP level, 3-Day Peace Shield can be available for purchase from the VIP Market, at a discounted price.

At the moment, there are 4 different Peace Shiled you can purchase in-game - 8 Hours Peace Shield, 1-Day Peace Shield, 3-Days Peace Shield, and 30-Days Peace Shield.

### Production Boosters

Every base produces 5 different resources: Food, Wood, Cotton, Iron, and Greenbacks. Boosters help you produce more resources and you can activate them by selecting a booster from your inventory or by going to the Booster Tab (Note: Depending on the active boosters, the Icon changes).

### Upkeep Booster

Food is a crucial resource in the game. It is used to upgrade certain buildings, train or heal troops, and as upkeep. The more troops you have and depending on their tier, they will demand more food. In order to see your total Food income and upkeep, you can tap on your Fort and select the Economy tab. If your Food balance is 0, troops will not die.

### Training, Research, and Building Boosters

These boosters will reduce the time needed for you to train new troops, do research, or build a building. Keep in mind that these boosters need to be activated before you start the action, as once the time is calculated, it cannot be recalibrated (you will only be able to use Speed ups and watch ads in order to speed up the action).

# Commanders

Commanders in the game are the ones who run the city and lead troops in battles and gathering missions. Each commander has its specific talents that can be used strategically in order to help you grow your town and army. Apart from Talents, Commanders have Ranks. With each rank, their strength grows.

Progressing in the Research Tree, players can unlock the Presets. Each commander can have up to 10 Presets. Presets help players to switch between the equipment they need for a certain action and the corresponding Skill Tree. In order to make a preset, select a commander, and tap on the Gear button on the right side of the screen. From there, you will be able to create a preset that you can use for various purposes. Whether to enhance research, train troops, or something else. Use Preset and Reset items to create or recreate a preset. These items are available in the Store and Alliance Store.
