League of Kingdoms — to castles and dragons!
How to build a kingdom without investing, conquer the continents and make money?
League of Kingdoms is a full feature MMO Strategy game where gamers can enjoy single (PvE), multi (PvP), or party-play (MMO). Armed with wide-ranging and rich game modes, contents, and events, the game appeals to not just crypto enthusiasts but also mainstream gamers.
Create a legendary kingdom!
The main goal of the game is to develop your kingdom.
If you are new to such games, that’s okay. You can start the game by completing quests, which will make it easier for you to understand the game and eventually work out a development strategy.
In order to increase the level of your kingdom, you can perform the following actions.
Build
A kingdom’s overall level is tied to the level of your castle, which is located at the center. Your task is to increase the level of your castle (the main building of the kingdom). The higher its level, the more opportunities you’ll have.
Besides the castle, you will be able to build various buildings inside of your kingdom. Constructing buildings requires time and resources.
The higher the level of buildings, the more resources and time it will take to upgrade them, but their productivity will also increase significantly.
Developing your kingdom is mostly a single-player effort, where you construct buildings, train troops, and gather resources in the fields. But it occasionally involves multi-player efforts like Rallies.
Research
Research is a way to enhance battle or production technology.
Battle Technologies include various skills, such as Cavalry speed. Production technologies are various abilities to increase productivity, such as resource gathering speed.
Currently, there are three major ways of obtaining and upgrading technologies.
- Academy. You can invest resources and time to develop new technologies at the academy building located in your castle. There are three main categories. Battle, Production, and Advanced techs.
- Alliance Technology. You can also develop a set of additional technologies by being part of an alliance. Each alliance has its own research institute where you can contribute your resources to develop new technology. These technologies benefit your kingdom for as long as you remain a member of the alliance.
- Mastery. This is a set of advanced technologies (mostly conditional ones) that you can learn by earning mastery points (EXP). Mastery points can be earned by leveling up your lord. You can get exp points for your Lord by hunting monsters.
Train
There are three types of troops: Infantry, Archery, and Cavalry. And each of the types has 5 tiers.
Gamers can strategically and tactically strengthen one troop type over another by investing in various research and technologies.
These troop types differ in their battle abilities but also gathering speed or load as well. Since the troops are crucial for resource farming, there is ample room for you to be creative in terms of your training strategies.
Farm & Hunt
Farming and hunting are important activities for gathering the necessary resources to develop your kingdom.
There are five main resources in the League of Kingdoms:
- Food;
- Wood;
- Stone;
- Gold;
- Crystals.
As well as many other items. You can collect them in your kingdom or go searching in the desert.
Aside from crystal, the other four major resources can be mined from your kingdom’s farms.
Monster hunting is also a good source of resources and loot. Monsters, depending on their levels and types, drop different resources. Some bosses or special monsters can only be attacked by rallying with alliance members.
In addition to resources, you can also earn EXP by hunting monsters. The acquired mastery can be used to gain new skills.
Join the alliance!
Alliances play an important role. Whether participating in a dragon hunt or conquering shrines, your alliance membership is a prerequisite.
It is recommended that players join the alliance as early as possible.
Once you have joined an alliance, there is a whole set of features you can use:
- Building — alliances can build communal spaces by constructing various alliance buildings;
- Technology — alliance’s technology tree where members can donate to do research;
- Shop — it displays the list of items currently offered by the Alliance for the members to purchase;
- Governance — an agora where the alliance governance polls take place + more features are coming;
- Battle — this tab lists all the ongoing invasions and battles involving your alliance members.
Battles
You can battle against other kingdoms either alone or with a team.

Conquering the shrines includes various MMO activities, such as the Battle of the Continents (CvC) or the Battle of the Alliances.
To increase your performance in battles, you can use equipment called treasures. They have several buffs and skills that you must unlock.
Active skills can be debuffs that you can cast on an enemy castle. Passive skills are buffs that you can activate to increase your kingdom’s productivity.
There are normal, magical, epic, and legendary treasure tiers.
It’s time to make money
Free2Play users can earn money with resources. When players accumulate enough resources, they can convert them into NFT to trade on third-party marketplaces: Opensea.io or PlayDapp.
Players do not have to buy lands at all to start playing, but lands provide a number of advantages:
- Resources. Land brings in 5% of all resources that have been harvested on its sites by you and other players. This system implies that the owner will benefit from the development of the game platform, because owning land gives users resource ownership from all land sites on each existing continent.
- Development Reward. Ownership of the land entitles the owner to receive 10% of the game income in the LOKA (Governance and Utility) token.
- Each land represents ownership not only of a plot on the continent where you play but also of every plot in the same coordinate on all existing continents.
- The ability to mine crystals, which are needed to improve your land.
To earn an in-game $DST token, you need an NFT dragon.
If you don’t have enough money to buy a dragon, you can rent one.
Dragons will participate in battles and defend your kingdom from enemies. There are 5 types of dragons, plus they have 7 parts, so each one is unique in both appearance and abilities.
You can breed and upgrade your dragons in the game.
