Palace

A very strong building for alliances, which only needs to be present in the alliance in the right place, but you do not need it for yourself.

Quick overview

Max level1
Size25×25
PriorityOptional

The Palace is an alliance-strategic building, not something you build just for yourself. Its purpose is singular but crucial: it allows the entire alliance to train very strong units. If you have an active player in the alliance who builds the Palace, everyone who wants to add stronger soldiers to their army benefits from it. By itself, it does not provide more resources or more population; it is purely a military-alliance structure. We are talking about a building with dimensions of 25x25, so it takes up a significant amount of space, and it has only one level.

When to build it

This is not a building for new players or small alliances that are still finding their feet. The Palace makes sense only when the alliance is stable, has an active core of players, and wants to elevate its military strength. Given its enormous size of 25x25, think carefully about where you will free up space for it, because every tile counts where you are producing and defending. Therefore, the priority is individually low, but it can be very valuable for the alliance as a whole.

Is it worth upgrading?

The Palace has a maximum level of 1, so there is no upgrading to consider. You build it once, and that’s it. Therefore, focus mainly on the decision of whether and where to build it at all, because fixing a poorly placed giant building means demolishing it and building it again.

Pro player tipIdeally, the Palace should be built by a reliable, active player in a location where there is extra space, and then everyone else can benefit from the ability to train strong units. Before you place it, always plan in your head (or on paper) where it will fit in the 25x25 area, so you don’t regret losing a production zone later.
Common mistakeThe most common mistake is that a player builds the Palace recklessly just because it sounds powerful, and then realizes that the 25x25 tiles start to be sorely missed for production and defense buildings. Another classic mistake is that several alliance members unnecessarily build it instead of agreeing that one well-placed Palace is enough for the entire alliance.
