Building a powerful Army [Part 1] - Which buildings are important! Making research!

When you start the game, you have many choices and these choices will determine how powerful you can become.

First of all, you need to level up your castle and this will allow you to build more buildings.

To become powerful, you need an army. To gather an army, you have to build buildings that will train them. [ There will be a separate post for the specialized buildings used in training]

  1. Drill ground - determines the number (quantity) of troops you can deploy in gathering RSS or attacking an enemy castle. Obviously, the more troops you can deploy, the higher chances of success. 
  2. Marching tents - has two purposes (1.) It increases the # of troops you can train and (2.) speed up the training.
  3. First aid tents - are your hospitals where you can heal wounded troops. In this game, if your troops are gathering RSS, you cannot heal them if an enemy attacked. If your troops are inside your castle during an attack, they will not die but will only get wounded if your first aid tents capacity is equal or more than the # of your troops. In other words, if you have 50,000 troops, your first aid tents must also accommodate 50,000 troops or more.
  4. Watchtower - scans enemies who maybe attacking your castle. The higher level the watchtower is, the more information it contains, such as the level of troops your enemy has deployed to attack you and other details.


Tips: These buildings are important for you to become powerful, but remember you also need to research and improve your military might. Your castle development will also improve if you do research.



It takes time to do research, but if you try to do them it will make the difference between being the hunted (target) to becoming the hunter. 

There are 4 fields of research and each of them will develop areas in your castle. Since this is a war game, you need to research on your military, but city development is also important since you need to fastrack your castle features.

I'll focus on military for now, but will have another separate article to deal with the research features of the other 3 specialties.

Military research involves:
  1. Recruitment - increases soldiers' training speed
  2. Mapping - increases marching speed
  3. Legion - (very important) increases the number of dispatching troops. A legion is a band of troops you can deploy to attack. Your drill grounds determine how many troops you can put up in a legion, while the legion (research) determines how many dispatches you can have. 
  4. Leadership - Increases the max number of soldiers in a single troop. This research complements the drill grounds;
Further down the process, are Legion 2 (which means an additional band can be further deployed), more mapping and leadership.

At level 16, your drill grounds can deploy more than 40,000 troops in a legion. If you have 120,000 troops, it means you can attack an enemy with 3 legions (40,000 x 3). 


Protecting your castle - your troops are most important!

This is a war game and you have to expect getting attacked, looted and humiliated by higher level castles, even get trash talked in the Kingdom chat. Don't worry, don't let it bother you. Here are some tips for you to be prepared and get ready. In addition, if you gain more knowledge, you become more skilled and in time, you can have your revenge.

Bear in mind that since you're just starting to play, there are others ahead of you and may belong to alliances that prey on the weak. Bullying is part of the game, and since this is not FarmVille, you need to act tough and be tough. Otherwise, you have to go back playing those puzzle games!

What to do when you are about to be attacked:

Shield up- This is a cover where your castle is immune from attacks. The Peace shield is a buff for (1.) 8 hours, (2.) 24 hours or (3.) 3 days where no one can touch you. You have 2 options to get the shield

    1. Buy from the store - see bag located just beneath the chat, besides Quests. Click it and go to Store (besides My Items) at the top. Once you're in the store, click on Buff and choose the type of shield you wish to buy.
    2. Donate Technology in your alliance and once you have enough honor, you can buy a shield.



If all things fail, ask a member of your alliance to send you a shield. Remember that you have allies and they are ready to help you if they can.

Evade and run! - Your troops which is a vital part of your gameplay must be protected at all cost from enemies. If someone is attacking you, at the very last minute, leave your castle and reinforce an ally who has a peace shield. You can do this if shielding is not possible. Another option is to gather RSS far from your castle since your troops will travel and whoever wants to attack you has to follow. That will leave his castle vulnerable to attacks. You can also explore relics (these are those temples/castles carved out of stones). Exploring relics can be up to 8 hours so your troops can't be touched.


Tip: Your resources are often the target of enemies, and unless you have shield, they will be taken away. Remember that your troops are more important since without them you cannot gain RSS and attack your enemies.

Intro post - Welcome to Revenge of Sultans!

Revenge of Sultans is an exciting mobile game that is derived from the game play code popularized by Clash of Kings, but with some amazing features that make the game more unique. While COK and other games like Ocean Wars, Clash of Queens and Dragon Clans patterned their game play via ELEX's Clash of Kings, Sultan has a similar pattern yet the look and feel are entirely its own.

Of course, there are features that make these 'related' games worth checking out:
  1. The social networking aspect where players get to join an alliance is one of the best features - there is a chatroom for discussing strategies and leveling up. This social aspect enables for making new friends. The so-called Kingdom chat is where players from all alliances can talk, become friends or engage in some heavy, mudslinging trash talks. 
  2. The Pyramid - where you can roll 2 dice and get some amazing rewards.
  3. The desert is the setting for the game, obviously, since it is "Middle East" inspired. You can think of historical characters like Knights templars, Alibaba and the Forty Thieves or one of the Muslim world's most famous figure, Saladin - the first Sultan of Egypt and Syria.

This blog is also created as a means for players and members of DEM [Kingdom 3] to learn how to level up their castles and become more powerful and capable of killing!

How to download the game:
Android - Google Play Link
iPhone - iTunes
