Battlefield

The Battlefield is where armies clash and control of cities is lost and won. You can view all the heroes fortifying or attacking cities by visiting the battlefield. Unless the city is under attack, you must meet the required Rank set by the city Governor to view troops garrisoned in your cities. When a city comes under attack, both the attacking and defending Kingdom’s players can view the defending troops. City Defense can be improving by repairing the City Wall and improving city facilities. Attacking Troops can destroy these buildings on the battlefield to weaken the city’s defenses. If your City is connected with another City by road, you will see a Pass on the battlefield where the road meets the city. All Troops arriving in the city from that road must enter through the corresponding Pass.
