From ruin to empire

Ten Fortress Levels chart your rise from a crumbling outpost to the throne. Every level makes you stronger, and every level brings stronger enemies to your gates.

Level 1

The Ruined Outpost

Your journey starts among broken walls and a shattered keep. Resources are scarce and defences barely exist. Clear the ruins, get your first buildings working and lay the foundation of everything to come.

Levels 2 to 3

Establishing the Settlement

The fortress begins to live again. Expand your settlement, increase resource production and recruit your first soldiers. Early raids will probe your defences, so start reinforcing your walls.

Levels 4 to 6

Expanding and Defending the Kingdom

Your kingdom grows, and so does its value to your enemies. Build stronger walls and gates, raise defensive towers, deploy cannons and develop your army to survive increasingly organised raids.

Levels 7 to 9

Building an Empire

Your stronghold becomes a true power. Research and upgrades push your economy and defences further as multi-wave raids, specialised enemy types and powerful commanders put everything you have built to the test.

Level 10

Ruler of Everything

The summit of your empire. Only a fortress built to withstand anything can survive the final boss siege and claim the title of Ruler of Everything.

Enemy threatExtreme

The stronger you grow, the harder they strike

Enemy raids become increasingly challenging as your fortress develops.

Each new Fortress Level brings tougher opposition: more demanding waves, enemies with specialised abilities and commanders who lead the most dangerous assaults. Keep your walls, towers, cannons and army growing alongside your economy, or the next siege could undo everything.
