Unit Upgrades
Upgrades are improvements that enhance the capabilities of Units. The Upgrades are done at the Blacksmith,cost Resources and take time to finish. The level of the Blacksmith defines the maximum level for Upgrade, i.e. a higher level Blacksmith allows you to Upgrade your Units to a higher level.
For example:
A level 5 Blacksmith can Upgrade Units up to level 5. If you place Free Population in the Blacksmith, Upgrades are completed faster.
When you want to upgrade your Special Units, you must develop your Order to its 4th level. There are three types of Upgrades – attack, defense and special Upgrades.
IMPORTANT: Note that the Nobleman can’t be Upgraded.Here is a table showing how much the attack of Units increases with each offensive Upgrade level.
| Unit Type | Regular Max. Upgrade Level | Vs. Infantry | Vs. Archers | Vs. Cavalry | Vs. Machines |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Siege Machines | 10 | 15% | 15% | 15% | 15% |
| Archers | 10 | 5% | 5% | 5% | 5% |
| Cavalry | 10 | 10% | 10% | 10% | 10% |
| Infantry | 10 | 10% | 10% | 10% | 10% |
Here is a table showing how much the Life of Units increases with each defensive Upgrade level.
| Unit Type | Regular Upgrade Level | Increase in Life |
|---|---|---|
| Siege Machines | 10 | 5% |
| Archers | 10 | 10% |
| Cavalry | 10 | 10% |
| Infantry | 10 | 10% |
Units of each type can be upgared one more level. Players can choose if they want this additional upgarde to be for attack or defense, but not both. It is called a Veteran upgrade and has the following characteristics:
- The Veteran upgrades are available only for units which have been upgraded to their maximum level. ( 10 attack/10 defence );
- Then you should decide which aspect of your units you want to improve - their attack or their defence;
IMPORTANT: Note that only one of the 2 Veteran upgrades can be applied to each unit type, so choose carefully which ones you will apply and to which units.
- A Veteran upgrade grants the same bonus as a unit's normal upgrade in the respective field.
- There are two ways to pay for a Veteran upgrade, with resources or with Coins, it is important to note that when paying with Coins the upgrade process is completed much faster than paying with Resources and waiting longer for the upgrade to complete. The amount of resources and time needed depend on the speed of the Game world.
