General tips
  • Deer give 3 gold when killed. They require two arrow shots to take down.
  • When building structures, try to build to maximum and start early in the morning so you can finish before night time
  • Archers are the most important class in the game, always have plenty of archers
  • You don't need many workers. In the beginning 1 or 2 is fine. Max of 4 is fine.
  • When you create a knight, three of your archers convert to offensive mode and will no longer hunt.
  • For every two recruits you gain, they will evenly divide to each side of your fortress.
  • You cannot attack or direct your troops outside of telling your knights to 'go fight'
  • Play at least one game so that on your next game, you can "skip" the beginning and save time

On DAY 1
  • Quickly set up your camp
  • Make an archer first and a worker second.
  • Build 1st level wall at both ends of fortress. DO NOT UPGRADE PAST 1ST LEVEL WALL. UPGRADING YOUR FORTRESS TO LVL 4 WILL AUTOMATICALLY GIVE YOU A STONE WALL AND ARCHERS NEST FOR FREE
  • ALWAYS GET NEW RECRUITS IF THEY ARE AVAILABLE
  • Explore to the right on your fortress, try to herd deer back to your archers for more gold
  • You will need to continue herding deer on each run out of your fortress until you can get farmers
  • When exploring, the most important thing to find is the STONE UPGRADE tower.
  • Stay with 1 worker for awhile, keep getting more archers. Archers are your defense and your main source of gold in the beginning of the game
  • If night starts to fall, quit herding deer because your archer is going to stop hunting and go back to base
  • DON'T UPGRADE YOUR FORTRESS, YOU GET LESS MORNING GOLD EVERY TIME YOU UPGRADE YOUR CAMP

On DAY 2
  • Don't wait for your morning starting gold to appear before heading out.
  • Go LEFT and explore. If by now you HAVE NOT seen a stone upgrade before reaching a terror portal, restart your game.
  • If you do find a Stone upgrade and you have enough gold, go ahead and upgrade. Getting more recruits right now is more important.
  • Go back to your camp and get morning gold.
  • Try to get another recruit to the camp to your immediate right
  • Wait until Day 3 morning gold before upgrading your camp to lvl 2.

NEXT 5-6 DAYS
  • Herd Deer
  • upgrade stone tower if you haven't already
  • Get ALL recruits
  • Always make sure to get morning gold BEFORE upgrading your fortress
  • Sometime during these 5-6 days upgrade your Fortress enough to get the free wall upgrade and archer's nest
  • NEVER HAVE MORE THAN TWO WALLS AND TWO ARCHERS NESTS, expanding only makes you weaker.
  • If you can, only invest to the largest wall defense on the left side so you can use the trebuchet on that side.
  • Try to not have a second wall on the right side because if you put up a wall, your archers on the right side will stop getting money UNLESS you chop down a tree
  • But if you chop down a tree, you will lose your access to those easy recruits on the right side
  • Also put up the biggest archers nest right next to your biggest wall defense

On Day 9
  • At this point you should upgrade to the last fortress so that you can start producing knights
  • Invest in two knight units and start to get recruits to fill these roles
  • Always get recruits and herd deer

On Day 10 or 11
  • Send your first set of knights into battle
  • I prefer to send my knights to the left side because you can gain recruits easier on the right side

Day 11-20~
  • Keep pushing the left side until all Terror Portals are destroyed.
  • BEFORE MAKING MORE KNIGHTS ON THE LEFT SIDE, EXPLORE TO MAKE SURE TERROR PORTALS STILL EXIST
  • There should only be 2 of them. If all terror portals are gone, DO NOT MAKE KNIGHTS ON THE LEFT SIDE
  • You will only lose archers if you make more knights on the left side.
  • You should now create a wheel house over a stream and make farmers.
  • After your farmers start to bring in money, you no longer need to herd deer

Day 21 >

  • Create your Second big wall on the right side of your fortress along with a max upgraded archers nest.
  • Start getting ready to push to the right terror portals. There should be three of them.
  • Always make sure you can withstand a full assault before sending out your knights.
  • If you have the money supply, try to give your first night a full bag of gold before he goes off.
  • Terrors will stop attacking and run away if they get a gold coin.
  • NEVER FOLLOW YOUR KNIGHTS INTO BATTLE
  • Instead wait at the center of your fortress and look at the knight flags which is where the shields would be.
  • TRY TO GET ANOTHER FULL BAG OF GOLD FROM YOUR FARMERS
  • Once those flags become torn, your knight has died and more or less a crap-ton of night terrors will be barrel assing towards your fortress
  • AS SOON AS YOU SEE YOUR FLAGS GET RIPPED, QUICKLY GO RIGHT PAST YOUR ARCHERS AND START DROPPING ALL OF YOUR COINS ON THE GROUND

You can go past chaos portals if you're quick about it. Only rarely will a mob spawn while you gallop past a portal.

In those cases, have a few extra coins in your pouch.


Also on day 1 (or even 2-3) don't bother about building any walls. Your archers will kill a mob in a single hit and they only come in very few numbers until then. If you find the two chests you'll have PLENTY of money to upgrade your home twice for free basic walls.
