Power Types in Rise of Kingdoms

Although your overall power in the game is grouped under a single title, there are four different types of power that affect it. These are: Building Power, Troops Power, Technology Power, and Commander Power.

Building Power: The kind of power you get when you construct new buildings and level up existing ones. It’s relatively fast up to level 16, after which it slows down as construction times get longer.
Troops Power: You can increase this power, which determines your success in battles, by training new soldiers. More and higher level soldiers = more power.
Technology Power: You can increase your power by doing military technology and economic research in the Academy building.

Commander Power: You can increase this power by acquiring new commanders and improving existing ones. Rare commanders provide more power

Since the four power categories are very clear, you’ll quickly learn how they work as you play the game. All you need to know is that there are four different categories of commanders: Legendary, Epic, Elite and Advanced. Your objective should always be to have Legendary or at least Epic commanders and level them up.

Now that you’ve learned how the power mechanics work in Rise of Kingdoms, let’s talk about what you should do to get stronger quickly.

First of all, as in all strategy games, you’ve a level goal that you want to reach quickly in RoK: 16. You should try to get the Town Hall to level 16 as soon as possible to give yourself an advantage over other players. This will take a little over a month if you don’t spend any money. However, if you become an active player and participate in events, you can achieve this goal by strengthening your empire.

It may sound like simple advice to constantly upgrade your army and train more soldiers. But if you want to succeed in Rise of Kingdoms, you shouldn’t make any mistakes in this regard. Make sure you always training soldiers to increase your strength.

If you leave the production line empty for a few hours every day, you’ll fall behind your competitors in the long run. Also, when you unlock high-level troops, focus on upgrading the lower-level soldiers. So make sure that your entire army consists of the high-level possible soldiers. As we said above, more soldiers = more power.

One of the most important buildings in the game is the Academy. Because the research you do here will make you stronger than your competitors. In the early stages of the game, you can receive economic research as gifts from Tribes on the world map. So focus on military research and collect gifts by opening the map with your soldiers. Technology power is very important, you must invest enough time.

Commander Power is the Key

Since Rise of Kingdoms has very deep and fun game mechanics, it’s necessary to learn some things well to be successful. Commander Power is the most important category that directly affects your total power and determines your overall success. To manage this power well, you’ll have to choose the commanders you focus on and develop them.

With the latest updates, there are now more than 53 commanders in the game. So you’ll have to try and make mistakes a few times to choose the ones that best suit your play style. But there are a few rules that you can easily follow, even if you don’t know anything:

The strongest commanders in the game are the Legendary ones, represented by gold color. It’s very expensive to find and develop these commanders. So if you don’t plan on spending real money on the game, you’ll have to focus on one.
Since Epic commanders are also very powerful, choose 4-5 other Epic commanders to use secondarily depending on the situation. Above all, dedicate at least two commanders to resource gathering and develop them.

Of course, there are many variables in this adventure. To find the commanders, you’ll have to open the chests with keys, spend experience points to improve them, and speed up the development processes by participating in events with them. It’s all right if this sounds frighteningly confusing, Rise of Kingdoms is a great game to tell about it.

In a nutshell – make sure you make time for these four categories that impact your overall power, and use the limited resources you have properly. It can feel great to use time boosts early in the game, but if you can keep them up to level 16 and beyond, you’ll always be a few steps ahead of your opponents.

Events, Alliance Missions and More

In Rise of Kingdoms you’ll have to complete events and troop quests to increase your overall strength. Especially if you do not want to spend real money on the game, the rewards you get from the events are very important.

Since there are 3-4 different events almost every day, you should keep track of them and try to complete the tasks. Save the rewards you collect and use them when you need them. Likewise, by completing alliance missions you can earn valuable gifts (packages worth hundreds of dollars) and use them to get stronger.
