[PLAYER GUIDE] How To Level Up To Castle lvl. 17

Thank Player Djo in K2 for contributing his game guide to us!

•    Introduction

Hello, I present you in this guide the fastest and easiest way to build your castle level 17 as a free to play player. It takes between 5 and 10 days depending on your playing time and the respect of the guide.

•    A few tips

During this rush, it should be known that all accelerations and diamonds were used in the buildings. The only research I did was building mastery. I also crafted the champion necklace in green quality during the creation of this guide, by picking up components from resource points and buying alliance materials boxes. In terms of talent, I got the building bonuses as a priority. I advise you do the same as me if your only objective is to get as fast as possible the castle level 17. I also recommend you do not create too muchT1 and T2 troops, just the minimum you need to gather a little, start your rebel group and unlock your outside buildings. Last advice, if you get lost in the game at any time, just follow the main quest!

To build your Castle level 10, you will need to build your Hospital and your Wall level 9. Here it is the Lumberyard that is needed for your hospital.

Last but not least, it is possible and advisable to complete your Chapter 6 of the Story quest, in order to unlock the “Active rewards” chests which are important.

•    Pass castle 11

You also unlock the Market, which allows you to send resources to your allies. To build your Castle level 11, you will have to build your Rookery and your Wall to level 10.

At this level, you unlock the Training Ground, which allows you to fight against other lords in order to climb up the rankings that give diamond every 3 hours and a weekly award depending on your rank. To build your Castle level 12, you will need to build your Warehouse and your Wall to level 11 first. I advise you to do the Mine, the Warehouse and then the Wall. You can then pass to your Castle level 12.

Having climbed your  Maester’s Tower level 13, I give you a little reminder about the research for the buildings mastery which saves you a lot of time during this guide. You can pass your Castle level 14.

•    Pass castle 17

It’s the last level to do before the end of this guide, which will allow you to unlock your Tier 3 troops, a level at which you will stay for a long time to upgrade your buildings since in this guide the only goal was to build the Castle to level 17 as quickly as possible. It is therefore logical that many of your buildings are behind schedule as well as your research. But that's not a problem, the penultimate piece of advice I would give you before I explain how to build your Castle level 17 is that at some elite events, you can try to get the 2 medals from Tyrion, who is a very powerful commander! (You can start trying to have it at castle lvl 10). But let's go back to the base of the guide, to pass your Castle 17, you will have to build your Rookery, your Barracks and your level 16 Wall. You will, therefore, have to build yourQuarry, your Rookery, your Barracks first and finish with the Wall.

You can launch your Castle level 17!

Congratulations!

•    Executive Summary

In short, you will have understood it, you must always upgrade your wall and other buildings, make the resource buildings first for the generation of resources. Remember to forward your search for building speed, think of making troops to send them to look for resources for your buildings as well as for the collar of the champion's set that will give you additional building speed. Feel free to use your alliance coins to buy chests to get your necklace faster. It took me about 7 days to build my castle level 17 without using real money.

●  Outside buildings

Here is how it is advisable to organize your outdoor buildings:

1 Farmland (you can't keep up with the grain cost of your army and you have no penalty to be at 0 grain). the rest is balanced between Lumberyard, Quarry and Mine. In the long term, I advise you to have only one Army tent (to launch a maximum of 10,000 units at a time with the Barracks). A maximum of 5 Mints (100% troop training speed and 10% total attack). 4 to 10 Hospitals (11 with the inner one, which gives you a wounded capacity of 440,000 soldiers if you have 11 Hospitals as well as 55% of total life). It is also important to know that you can change your ratio of Hospitals and Mints according to your playing style.
