Battle Point Villages allow you to collect troops and resources on your islands to progress your empire. There are 6 available ruins for you to take on an island (you do not start with any). Once you buy the ruin with battle points it will turn into a Battle Point Village and you will be able to collect resources and different types of troops.

Summary of the New System

With the new battle point villages and the bandits camp we want to improve the early game phase in order to keep more players in the game and motivate them to come back on the following days. To achieve this we simplified the usability of the old farming villages, and reduced their complexity. We want to offer you more possibilities to fight during the first days on a new world. As a result, we have integrated a new feature on the island of your first city, the Bandits Camp. It will contain a total of 100 PvE fights. As a new player it’s important to perform several PvE fights in order to understand how the battle system works, and to figure out the pros and cons of the different units. This will allow you to be better prepared as your beginner's protection wears off.

Obtaining Battle Point Villages

In order to obtain a battle point village you will need to spend your battle points. Once you have the required battle points available, you can click on the ruin and build your village. After clicking the build button the village will immediately be built to level 1.

Below is a table with the associated costs:

Number of Villages	Cost (in battle points)
1	2
2	10
3	30
4	60
5	100
6+	150

Once you unlock your sixth village the cost to build a village will be 150 battle points. This number will not reset and counts for all of your cities.

Obtaining Troops and Resources

Since you will only be able to obtain 6 villages instead of 8 like the old system, we have increased the amount of resources by 25%. Each time you demand resources it is subtracted from the daily total (which is dependent on the level of the village). Additionally, if you demand resources you will not be able to demand troops until the cool down period has ended.

Total Daily Limit

Village level		Old Daily Limit	New Daily Limit
1		6250	1000
2		7500	2000
3		8750	3000
4		10000	4000
5		11250	5000
6		12500	6000
New values are multiplied by world speed.

Collecting Resources

You will have several different collection options to choose from, ranging from 5 minutes to 8 hours. In order to unlock the different options you will need to upgrade your warehouse accordingly:

Option	Warehouse Level
1	1
2	5
3	7
4	10

The following options are available to you once you have the appropriate warehouse level:

Village Level		5 Minute Cool Down	20 Minute Cool Down	90 Minute Cool Down	4 Hour Cool Down
1		12	29	64	125
2		15	34	75	145
3		17	39	85	166
4		20	44	95	187
5		22	49	106	208
6		25	54	116	229

Additionally you will have the option to research the technology "Villagers Loyalty" to unlock a different set of times:

Village Level		10 Minute Cool Down	40 Minute Cool Down	3 Hour Cool Down	8 Hour Cool Down
1		25	62	137	268
2		32	73	161	311

4		43	94	204	402
5		47	105	227	447
6		53	116	249	492

Collecting Units

Collecting units no longer counts against the daily limit when collecting from battle point villages. They do, however, require a cool down just like when you are collecting resources. Below is a table with the respective values:

Village Level		Swordsmen	Slingers	Archers	Hoplites
1		1	1	1	1
2		2	2	2	2
3		3	3	3	3
4		4	4	4	4
5		5	5	5	5
6		6	6	6	6

The cooldown time for collecting all types of units is 3 hours.

In order to unlock the above units you will need to increase your farm level. Each unit option requires a minimum farm level before you will be able to collect that unit.

Option	Requirement
1	Farm level 5
2	Farm level 7
3	Farm level 10
4	Farm level 15

Trading

You will be able to trade with battle point villages with a maximum ratio of 1.7. The minimum amount of resources that you are able to trade is 100 and the maximum is 2000.

Once you trade with a battle point village the ratio will drop. Over time it will recover slowly at a rate of .02 per hour * world speed.

Village Cycling

It is now possible to cycle through your battle point villages to farm resources. You can do so by clicking the arrows pictured above.

Technology

With the introduction of Battle Point Villages there is a new technology available Villagers' Loyalty that will increase the amount of resources that you obtain by 115%.
