While you start the game with a single town, eventually you will wish to expand your empire by obtaining new towns. You have two methods to chose from, either you build your town from scratch (colonising), or you take that of others (takeover). In this section of the wiki you can read about the later.
There are two methods of doing a take over, Conquest and Revolt: Some worlds use conquest and others use revolt, which method is used depends upon the Settings of the world that you play. This page is intended to provide a quick introduction to taking over towns in general.
Prerequisites
Before you can take over someone else's town, there are some basic requirements which must be met first. They are: Buildings, Units, and Culture.
Buildings
Building | Minimum Level | Purpose |
---|---|---|
![]() |
Level 28 | Required to research Colony Ships (Academy level 22), and Conquest (Academy level 28) |
![]() |
Level 20 | Required to build Colony Ships |
Units
To take over a city you require a Colony Ship (also referred to as a CS). This unit is built in the Harbour, and becomes available once it has been researched.
Unit | Name | Cost |
---|---|---|
![]() |
Colony Ship | 10,000 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
You'll also sufficient amount of troups escorting your CS to secure your victory both on land and on sea.
Culture
The final requirement is that you must have sufficient culture points or CP to take on a new city. When you begin the game you have room for two cities, one of the slots is filled by your first city. So a second town will not require additional CPs, but any further cities will.
Take over methods
Conquest by siege
This type of conquest applies to siege worlds as well as ghost towns on Hyperborea worlds (where it is not possible to conquer active players). On revolt worlds you "conquer through revolt" (see next chapter).
You can devide the take over into two parts. In the first section you attack the target town and ensure your CS lands safely. In the second town, during the siege you pacify the town and prevent the previous owner from reclaiming it.
Attack
- Picking a target
In this phase you need to pick a target and guide your CS safely to it. The maximum traveltime of a CS is 48 hours, so the target must be within this distance.
- Sending the attack
Click on the target town to bring up the military tab as you would with a normal attack.
You must include:
- CS (this will change the normal attack automatically to take over attack)
- land units (land victory is compulsory)
- naval units (naval victory is compulsory)
The most important unit in your attack force is the colony ship. It should not get destroyed under any circumstances, otherwise the conquest will be aborted and the surviving troops will retreat. Hence it might be good tactics to send in one or more waves of attacks to eliminate the opponent’s defenses, before the actual conquest is carried out.
- Sending along defensive units, or rearguard armies
In the final attack for conquest it is also very important to send along defensive units. These include Biremes to fend off naval units, and enough units with strong defensive values to hold off the enemy’s land units. Of course you can also support the conquest from other cities. What is important here is that any rearguard armies are sent in the "support" mode, so when they arrive they can help the troops that are already involved in heavy fighting with the capture of the city.
A town can only be supported by divine units if the god of the town is the same as the god of the divine units. This is true for towns under siege too. So if you want units from different gods supporting the town, you must send them alongside the CS. If not, you must match the god of the town under siege.
Siege
Once you land your CS safely, while ensuring both naval and land victory, even after you have smashed the core of the city’s military defense, the inhabitants are not particularly well-disposed towards a new ruler. Your conquering army needs a certain time to convince the citizens that you are the better ruler and to defect to your side. This is the phase of the siege.
The duration of the siege differs from world to world. On most worlds it depends on the speed factor, but it can also be set independently. The exact siege times for each world can be seen in the world information-article. By researching democracy the siege duration can be extended by 10%.
During the siege period the defender has no control over the city. But your troops can get attacked nevertheless, just as they can also be supported. You can see incoming attacks and supports if you go to the city from which the colony ship was sent, and click on the icon displaying the conquest under „Troop movements“.
Important: During siege attacks will work toward lifting the siege, and supports will work toward success of siege. So in attack phase attacks help you, in siege phase supports help you.
If the conquering troops survive the siege period without being crushed, the city changes into your hands. All buildings and things that have been researched remain undamaged, unless you have specifically attacked them with a divine power or with catapults.
A colony ship is destroyed if the attacker wins the land or the sea fight, meaning he has defeated either all land units or all naval units and he has not lost all his troops himself in the process.
