Throne and Throne War

What is the City of Throne?

It is the castle looking building found at the centre of the map. During Wartime players can attack it either solo or with a rally in order to occupy the Throne. For the first Throne War of each server, NPC troops will be defending the City. To successfully capture the Throne, your alliance must occupy it for a continuous six hours. During this time allies may send reinforcements to the throne to the holders Embassy capacity. Wartime does not have a time limit, it is simply until someone occupies the throne. Upon capture your Alliance Leader will be made the King (or Queen) of the server.

How to unlock the Throne?

The Throne is automatically unlocked from the start of the server. Server vs Server (SVS) is unlocked after the server is 60 days old, and there has been a server king – so if no one takes the throne, it is possible to delay the opening of svs.

Why be the King?

The main benefit of being King is to unlock Monarch’s Glory – which is when someone is King twice, and allows them the ability to unlock Wonder level 2. You also get some fancy wings to decorate your keep with, and a special avatar frame. As a result of this, it is usually best practise to rotate the King position across players in your server (I would recommend prioritising those that need it for Wonder 2 first, or as an incentive to players that work well as part of the server).

Being the King comes with many other benefits such as being able to send out King mails to the hosts (r4+) to every alliance in the kingdom. From this you may set up “King Rules” that people should follow, although don’t have to (read beginner’s guide for more information on this). As title of King you receive the following buffs:

• All Troops Attack +15%
• All Troops Defence +15%
• All Troops HP +15%
• March Speed +10%

You may also hand out titles to others, including positive and negative buffs. For a full list of available titles and buff lists, I suggest you check out the City of Throne found in the centre of the map.

Aside from giving other player’s titles, you can also gift them “Award Packages”, one per person. These packages come in three separate types:
Junior(x30) , Medium(x20) and Senior (x15) . The enclosed gifts can be found below:

Buildings Surrounding the Throne

There are three building that surround the throne that you should be aware of during throne war:

• 2 x Throne Tower: Once occupied, attacks enemy troops in the City of Throne in 180 seconds, and will continue to attack every 300 seconds
• Hero Tower: Once occupied, you receive a 80% hospital capacity increase, 600,000 march buff when marching towards Throne War buildings, and entire alliance increases healing speed by 25%

Occupying these buildings can be the difference between winning and losing throne war.

The City of Throne during SVS

The throne opens halfway through SVS, making for a very interesting fight! If you hold the enemies throne, you generate 1,500 points per second for your server. If you capture your enemies through, you cut their score at the end by 50%, and give those scores to your server – its certainly a game changer!
