If you want to be competitive, achieve good alliances and keep expanding your kingdom while collecting resources in the strategy game Rise of Kingdoms, then you’re going to need a whole lot of power. How can you get power quickly? Although the game’s developers from the studio Lilithgames would prefer players gain power gradually, the truth is that there are several ways to get it quickly. We’re here to tell you how.
What is Rise of Kingdoms?
Rise of Kingdoms is a mobile strategy game that gives you the opportunity to build and manage your own kingdom. First, you choose a civilization from a wide variety of different options, then you settle down and build a city that you have to manage by creating new buildings, recruiting troops, developing technologies and so on. Once you’re strong enough, you can attack other players to plunder their resources and expand your borders while unlocking more higher-level content and getting gems.
How does power work and what’s it for in Rise of Kingdoms?
It could be said that the power in Rise of Kingdoms works as a kind of indicator of the level of experience you have in the game. As you play and advance in the game, your kingdom will acquire more power. Of course, at the highest levels, the power is counted by millions, so it’s not uncommon to see other players with much more power than you. Your power level allows you to participate in events, unlock things and gain access to better alliances.
Tips to get power fast in Rise of Kingdoms
In general, leveling up your power requires time and patience. It takes a lot of hours playing Rise of Kingdoms in order to reach a good power level. However, if you want to save time a take a few shortcuts, there are ways to get power quickly, which comes in handy if you’ve just started a new game recently and you want to catch up to other players. Here are a few key tips:
Choose a civilization with good statistics
Not all civilizations are created equally, so when choosing which one to use, you have to consider their statistics. For example, if you want to focus on increasing power quickly, you should choose one that enhances the construction or training of troops, such as China or Germany.
Level up all your commanders
One of the easiest ways to quickly increase your power in Rise of Kingdoms is to level up your commanders, regardless of whether you’re going to use them or not. This is easy, because it doesn’t cost you hardly any experience to level up these characters or their abilities, so it’s perfect to boost your power meter. To do this, go to the commanders’ menu and upgrade as many as you can, whether you’re going to use them or not.
Level up your troops
When you train your troops, you gain power, but the power you gain varies depending on the level of the troops. This is logical, although many people don’t realize it. How do you use this to your advantage? Easy: you just have to make an effort to level up the troops to level 5, the maximum level. It’s at this level that they’ll provide you with the most power in each training session. Of course, the more high-level troops you have, the more you’ll get when training.
Upgrade the buildings that give you the most power
Another key factor you need to improve if you want to get power in Rise of Kingdoms is the buildings: when you select each one, you can see how much power they contribute to the total and how much that power increases if you improve them. Although it may vary with upgrades, it’s usually a good idea to upgrade two specific buildings that give a lot of power: hospitals and gold mines.
Choose carefully which technology to research
Just like in many other management and strategy games, Rise of Kingdoms allows you to research new technologies for your kingdom. Be careful, because each of them will add a different amount of power, so it’s worth taking this detail into consideration: when developing technologies, you have to keep in mind how long it will take and how much power it will give you. If you want to gain power quickly, it’s not worth researching a slow technology, no matter how much power it gives you.
