- ## Before You Start
- Treat city management and economic production as seriously as combat -- since the game is confirmed to blend deep city-building with RTS mechanics, a kingdom that's only strong militarily but economically unstable is confirmed to be vulnerable to rebellion and collapse.
- Prepare for a genuinely living, reactive kingdom -- since your people can rebel and your city can burn, don't treat civic stability as a background detail while focused purely on expansion.
- ## Managing Islands and Airships
- Since conquering islands is central to progression and airships are confirmed as a specific preparation step, budget real planning time for expansion logistics rather than rushing to claim new territory without adequate support.
- ## Common Mistakes
- * Focusing purely on military conquest while neglecting your existing kingdom's economy and civic stability -- the game is confirmed to punish this imbalance directly through rebellion.
- * Expanding to new islands faster than your production and management systems can support.
