Rise of Kingdoms: Lost Crusade is a strategy game that’s published by Lilith Games. I like the game, think the graphics are pretty good and the historical stuff is interesting. There are countless things that can be explored, and you will feel that you can’t get started when you play it for the first time. This is a normal phenomenon. You need to learn something to enjoy the game. But don’t worry, strategy games like this usually come with tutorials to provide you with the basics. For example, the first thing you will learn is to build a resource structure like a farm. That is the source of food consumed by the people living in your village.

You will also learn how to train troops and then train commanders to lead them. This tutorial will also teach you how to upgrade buildings and how to fight. Your first battle will be against the barbarians terrorizing nearby villages. You will send commanders and troops to fight them. The battle is carried out automatically, and the result will depend on the strength of your troops and commanders. So if your enemy’s army is stronger, you are likely to lose the battle. This tutorial will also show you how to complete the tasks in the game, which will reward you with resources. Resources are the materials needed to complete most of the actions in the city. Examples of actions that require resources include upgrading buildings, researching technology, training troops, healing troops, scouting other governors or alliances, and purchasing items from mysterious merchants.

There are four main resources used in cities: food, wood, stone, and gold. Gems are high-quality resources. Resources can be obtained in the following ways:

● Collect from farms (food), wood mills (wood), quarries (stone), or gold mines in the city

● Collect from resource nodes on the map

● As a reward for completing activities and tasks

● Expedition (small amount)

● Sunset Canyon (a small amount)

● Defeat the barbarians

● Gold and silver boxes

● Loot another governor’s city (some of your troops will be killed in the process)

Gems are a high-quality resource that will be unlocked immediately after the city is established. It can be obtained in the original form through some missions in the main mission line or by purchasing various bundles with real money in the gem shop. Gems cannot be looted in any form. Gems can be used to purchase items from mysterious merchants, shops, or VIP shops. Alternatively, they can be exchanged for VIP points, or directly used to accelerate training, research, or construction. But I recommend using gems for VIP points because, at VIP 10 level, you will get a legendary commander sculpture every day, which is the most difficult resource in the game. At VIP 14 level, 3 sculptures can be obtained every day, or use them on the Book of Covenants to upgrade your castle, as they are very difficult to obtain.

If you want to fight, you need a commander. Each commander has three specialties to determine which talent trees can be upgraded. Each commander has four skills that are unlocked based on the commander's star rating. Epic and Legendary commanders have a 5th proficiency skill that enhances one of their first four skills; all four skills are unlocked by leveling up to 5. Star rank can be unlocked by sacrificing a sculpture, which is unique to that commander or can be generic.

In addition to the above, there are many things worth exploring in the game. I recommend everyone who likes strategy games to download them. If you have any questions or ideas, please feel free to communicate with me in the comment area!
