Pre-Season Preparation

Save PNG Open image Full guide

Read the card as text

Key instructions

Keep stamina and teleports available without sacrificing normal growth.

Review Engineer vs War Leader before spending new profession points.
Plan the first Digging Stronghold and city route rather than capturing opportunistically.
Day 1: Fountain > Sacred Water > Lab > Curse Resistance.
Use the actual Season countdown and grouping screen on your server for the exact timing.

More guide context

Prepare information, stamina flexibility and leadership roles. Do not turn pre-season into a blind hoarding exercise.
Season grouping determines the warzones and alliances that will matter for diplomacy and faction play.
Season 3 adds a large number of new systems quickly, so understanding the resource loop before Day 1 has more value than memorizing every event.
Pre-season countdown length can vary; use the live countdown on your server.

Feed Sacred Water into the Curse Research Lab according to the next alliance target.

Protector's Field, Curse Research Lab and Blessing Fountain open in the Season 3 Day 1 schedule.
Purge Action, Digging Stronghold Clash and Sandworm Crisis also begin in the opening week.

Read the card as text

Key instructions

Track the qualification race daily.

Assign factory ownership and missile launch authority before the final battle.
Mark friendly-fire zones and tell members not to cluster blindly around a target.
If clearance is uncertain, hold the missile. Protect the launcher during preparation and recheck the area after impact.
Use the active event screen for exact qualification values, battle start and missile preparation/cooldown.
Illustrative scene, not a live map.

More guide context

Build Invasion Right across Days 1–6, then execute the Day 7 Capitol battle. Four Missile Factories and friendly-fire-capable Duel Missiles make coordination as important as raw power.
Qualification lead: record your faction total, opposing total, and active scoring sources after each reset.
Four Missile Factories are consistently current around the Capitol.
A captured factory produces one Duel Missile every 300 seconds.

Goldust Conquest

Save PNG Open image Full guide

Read the card as text

Key instructions

When attackers destroy the defending Alliance Center, Goldust Conquest ends immediately. For plunder from secondary buildings, resolve those targets before the Center; use the live battle state for calls.

These notes are preserved in the client, not proof that every server has enabled the same rules. Your live event and skill panels take precedence.
Mithril Plant 5% · Exploratory Well 5% · Alliance Center 10% · Sacred Water Hut 5% · Obelisk 5%.
Attack: Scout all five objectives.
Attack: Assign primary target and reserve.
Attack: Confirm the structure is destroyed / credited.
Attack: Retask when the live situation changes.
Defense: Track all five structures.
Defense: Set garrisons and replacements.
Defense: Report an ejection immediately.
Defense: Reassign the next reinforcement.
Do not copy Season 2 Rare Soil missile footprint or timings into Season 3.

More guide context

Goldust Conquest is the current name for the event older guides call Spice War. Learn the stage order, protect all five relevant buildings and use the live War Status panel for exact round timing.
Stage order: Waiting → Declaration → Invitation → Preparation → War → End.
A common round uses 24h / 24h / 12h / 30m for the pre-war stages, followed by a matchup-dependent 20–40m War stage. Live timers can vary.
Four secondary structures each represent 5% of the current Goldust plunder path; Alliance Center represents 10%; maximum 30%.

BLACKBAR / S3 / 06

Digging Strongholds & Cities

Save PNG Open image Full guide

Read the card as text

Key instructions

Illustrative scene, not a live map. Stronghold A and Stronghold B are example locations, not a capture order.

2 city captures per day; maximum 8 cities held.
Plan the route to the next city before taking the current Stronghold.
Match rally CR to the live target requirement.
The target's live CR requirement and the City/Stronghold protection timer are final authority.

More guide context

Territory progression should follow a route, not random captures. Strongholds supply Mithril and open paths; Cities provide higher-value territory and Goldust-related progression.
Season 3 says an alliance can declare/capture 2 Cities per day and hold up to 8 Cities.
Season 3 also limits alliances to 2 Digging Stronghold captures per day and up to 8 held Strongholds.
Digging Strongholds produce Mithril from 100/hour at Lv1 to 200/hour at Lv6 in 20/hour steps.

BLACKBAR / S3 / 07

Build an Oasis

Save PNG Open image Full guide

Read the card as text

Key instructions

Only sand land adjacent to already-greenified land can be greenified.

Inspect ungreenified pockets, edges around inactive bases and legal adjacency gaps.
Use Double Greenification / Nature's Touch where the larger footprint advances the actual route.
Move coordinated effort to the next progression region instead of polishing every remaining tile first.
80% of a region counts as complete and advances progression.
Illustrative scene, not a live map.

More guide context

Oasis is a season-long map-routing system. Greenify only from adjacent green land, push regions to 80%, and coordinate the last ungreenified pockets instead of scattering stamina randomly.
Greenification begins after the first captured-city stage in the current Week 1 flow.
Only sand land adjacent to already-greenified land can be greenified.
80% of a region counts as complete and advances progression.

Season 3 Economy

Save PNG Open image Full guide

Read the card as text

Key instructions

Resource path: Mithril > Blessing Fountains > Sacred Water > Curse Research Lab > Curse Resistance.

Collect Fountains before the 24-hour cap.
Raise Lab CR toward the next target.
Claim Digging Stronghold Mithril.
Claim Alliance Center secondary resources.
Protector's Field Levels 1–10 avoid Mithril/Sacred Water; Level 11 begins consuming both.

More guide context

The economy is a dependency chain, not four independent buildings: Mithril feeds Fountains, Fountains produce Sacred Water, Sacred Water advances the Curse Lab, and Lab 30 opens the Altar.
Blessing Fountain max level is 30 and each level adds 720 Sacred Water/hour in the Season 3 table.
Curse Research Lab max level is 30 and reaches 10,000 CR.
Protector's Field Levels 1–10 avoid Mithril/Sacred Water; Level 11 begins consuming both.

More guide context

Captured Strongholds currently have a documented 36-hour protection period; Cities use a distinct calendar.
After every capture, verify ownership, buffs/rewards, resource collection and the new protection timer.

Key instructions

QUALIFY: Days 1–6 build Invasion Right; keep qualification and battle-day plans separate.
