Season 3 Champion Starting Perk

Congratulations on reaching the podium! Select your permanent starting perk for Season 3:

⚡ Choose Your Starting Perk (Select One):

🏝️

Colossal Starting Island

5x Landmass Expansion

~100 Hex Continental Landmass Dense Timber, Clay, Pasture & Ore No Costly Early Sea Lanes Needed

Spawns your capital on a massive continental island roughly 5x larger than normal (~100 hexes vs. 20). Settle 4 to 8 towns and cities immediately across rich inland resource tiles without needing expensive shipping lanes early on.

🏰 Best For: Builders, Economists & City Planners who want an insurmountable day-one resource powerhouse and a fortified home sanctuary.

⚡

Hypercharge AP (+25% Flow)

+25% Passive AP Regen

+18 Bonus AP Every 24 Hours Over 500+ Extra AP This Season Tactical March & Energy Advantage

Permanently accelerates your passive Action Point generation rate by +25% around the clock for all of Season 3 (e.g. 3.75 AP/hr vs 3.0 AP/hr). Over the season, this supplies over 500+ extra AP for rapid troop marches, expanding road networks, and swift tactical responses.

🏃 Best For: Active Commanders & Rapid Expansionists who log in frequently, love micromanaging military maneuvers, and want nonstop tactical energy.

⚔️

Titan's Might (2.0x Attack)

Double Offensive Firepower

2.0x Attack Multiplier in Combat Halved Assault Losses Applies to All Armies & Warships

Grants an overwhelming 2.0x Attack multiplier to all of your military units (Infantry, Cavalry, Archers, Trebuchets, War Galleys, and Dreadnoughts) in every offensive engagement. Crush fortified enemy garrisons and breach Citadel walls with half the casualties.

⚔️ Best For: Aggressive Conquerors & Warlords who play to besiege rival settlements, overpower fortified citadels, and dominate military warfare.

⚠️ Perk selection is permanent for Season 3 and cannot be changed or transferred once locked in.

PATCH v4.33.79 CRITICAL BATTLEFIELD DISPATCH

🌊 Naval Embarkation & Combat Rebalance

Important gameplay balance updates affecting sea battles, starting perks, and fortress defenses.

🚢

1. Land Armies are Vulnerable at Sea (Transport Barges)

Non-naval units (Infantry, Cavalry, Pikeman, Archer, Legion, Teutonic Knight, Trebuchet) moving across open sea or engaging naval vessels are embarked on unarmored Transport Barges.

Combat Power is reduced to 2 while embarked at sea.
Forged Armory Weapons are disabled on transport barges (troops cannot swing broadswords from rowboats).
Warships (War Galleys & Dreadnoughts) easily sink unarmed transport barges in single rounds. Always command the sea lanes with warships before embarking an invasion force!

⚡

2. Titan's Might Perk Rebalanced (Option B)

The Champion starting perk Titan's Might (2x Attack) has been decoupled from forged weapon multiplication to eliminate exponential runaway damage:

Doubles Unit Base Archetype only: Base Cavalry Power doubles (15 → 30), Dreadnoughts double (30 → 60), etc.
Flat Forged Weapons: Forged gear (e.g. +10 ATK Broadsword) is added flat afterwards and is no longer doubled to +20.
Settlement Assaults Normalized: 2x multiplier applies cleanly to individual army base rolls instead of inflating the entire aggregated army stack bonus.
Transport Barges at sea do not receive Titan's Might doubling.

🛡️

3. Defensive Tactics: Garrison Your Ramparts

Stone walls alone cannot defend an empire without soldiers on the battlements!

Defensive walls (Level 1-5 Walls) gain huge structural defense multipliers (1.25x up to 1.8x) when an army or allied defender is stationed inside.
Station Teutonic Knights (Defensive Vanguard) or Archers in Archer Towers (2x Tower Boost) to hold off massive enemy assault cohorts.

⚔️ Welcome to Hex-Empire, Commander!

Quick Starter Guide for your Realm Conquest

⚡

1. Action Points & Direct Trade Actions cost AP, which regenerates over time (up to 100 AP). Use Maritime (4:1) & Harbor Trade (2:1 + 1 AP Refund) to trade exact resource amounts!

🛣️

2. Roads, Channels & Distant Island Cap Build Land Roads, Inland Channels, and Shipping Routes. Your first Town on an uncolonized island is capped at 500 of each resource—crown it a Regional Capital ⭐ to reset local Distance Tax! All armies can march directly through enemy road networks at half speed.

🏭

3. Specialist Cities, Wonders & Walls Upgrade Cities into Workshops 🏭, Forges ⚒️, Naval Bases ⚓, Hospitals 🏥 (4-unit garrison), Archer Towers 🏹 (2-unit Overwatch), or 2-stage Great Fortresses 🏰 & Grand Lighthouses 🗼, with up to Level 5 Fortress Walls!

🚢

4. Armies, Siege & Warships Deploy Pikemen 🔱, Archers 🏹, Trebuchets 🎯, Teutonic Knights ✠, War Galleys ⛵, Dreadnoughts 🚢, & Explorer Boats 🧭! Use Shift+Drag box-select and Settlement Rally Points to mobilize fast.

🌫️

5. Glowing Islands, Shroud & Spy Vision Owning every settlement on an island activates a Sovereign Shroud that regrows Fog of War—or illuminate rival sectors using a Grand Lighthouse's 7-hex Spy Vision 🔭!

👑

6. Heroes, Food Upkeep & Victory Points Recruit Faction Heroes, keep net hourly Food 🌾 positive across every unit class (see Strategic Intelligence), and earn Victory Points 🏆 to win the season!

⚔️ Advanced Military & Armies Guide

Welcome to the Advanced Military & Naval Guide! Raise mobile land armies, siege engines, and coastal warships, march them in real time, sever rival supply lines, and lay siege to fortified settlements:

🛡️ 1. Land, Siege & Naval Units

Standard Unit (⚔️) & Heavy Legion (🛡️): Core infantry trained at Capitals & Regional Capitals (Weight: 10 / 25).
Cavalry (🐎): Rapid flankers trained everywhere Towns/Cities exist — marches at 2.0x Land Speed (Weight: 18).
Pikeman (🔱) (Suggested by @Bartlord): Defensive anti-Cavalry spear infantry trained at all Towns & Cities (cheaper & faster than Cavalry, 20⚡, 30🪵, 25🌾, 10🪨). Holds 24 CP against Cavalry ONLY while Stationed (moving = 9 CP).
Archer Regiment (🏹): Ranged support trained at Capitals & Regional Capitals — fires 1-hex ranged volleys (35% HP damage) without taking counter-fire (Weight: 15).
Trebuchet Siege Engine (🎯): Built exclusively at Workshop Cities (🏭) — fires 2-hex heavy bombardments (60% HP damage) and demolishes 1 Wall Level (24h rebuild lockout).
War Galley (⛵) & Dreadnought (🚢): Recruited exclusively at Naval Base Cities (⚓) (coastal City touching ocean water). Sail across Shipping Routes (placed using the 🚢 build toolbar tool) at 2.5x / 1.67x sea speed and bombard coastal targets from 1–2 hexes away!

* Note: Standard settlements hold 1 permanent garrison unit. Hospital Cities (🏥) (upgraded from a City via Settlement Specialization) hold up to 4 permanent garrison units simultaneously, grant +15%/hr passive healing (3x standard), and offer Instant Medical Triage!

🏃 2. Marching & Synced Arrival

Auto-Pathfinding: Select one or more stationed units and drag the golden target to auto-route across connected roads & shipping lanes (1 AP per march).
Sync Multi-Army Arrival (⏱️): When marching multiple selected units together, faster units automatically pace their march speed so your entire strike force arrives at the exact same second.
Interactive March Queue: Cancel a march at any intermediate node (1 AP) to reverse direction and march home.

⛺ 3. Supply Lines, Food Upkeep & Attrition

Supply Lines: Units disconnected from your road/shipping network camp (⛺) and suffer 4.2% HP/hr attrition.
Food Upkeep & Overflow: Keep hourly Food yield positive (from wheat fields and fishing tiles). Extra armies stacked at a standard settlement have a 12-hour overflow timer (+4h per Hero Vitality point) to move out before taking starvation damage.

🏰 4. Siege Tactics, Citadel Walls & Conquest

Adjacent Siege & Ranged Bombardment: Soften fortified targets from afar using Archers (🏹), Trebuchets (🎯), War Galleys (⛵), or Dreadnoughts (🚢) before launching a close-quarters assault.
Defensive Wall Multipliers: Wooden (+1), Brick (+2), Reinforced (+3), and Level 4 Citadel Walls (+4, 🏰) multiply garrison defense (up to 2.5x at Level 4).
Victory & Conquest: Winning an assault captures the settlement and stations your victorious unit inside as the new garrison!
