To build the Archery Range, you first need to research the building from the Research, Buildings section.

The Archers have different stats than the Swordsmen and together with the opportunity to add multiple types of soldiers to your army, we have also implemented the Combo Boost Factor.

The Combo Boost allows you to have a boost of up to 30% for your attack and defense stats if your army consists of both Archers and Sworsdmen. The bonus is calculated based on the equilibrium between the different types of soldiers.

For example, if exactly half your army is composed Archers and the other half are Swordsmen, you will receive the full 30% boost.

With this new update, there have also been several changes made to the War system and the Taxes paid to the Emperor.

Kingdoms whose Kings are inactive for more than 30 days will automatically be dismantled, and if the Kingdom is part of an Empire, the Emperor will receive a notification when this happens. In the near future we will reduce the 30 days.

Regarding the taxes paid to the Emperor, the Emperor will now receive the taxes from all the territories under his influences, but only the percentage for the highest position. Which means that from a total of 28% production taxes paid to the rulers, the Emperor will receive 7% of all production taxes. If there are no Kings, Count or Barons under you as an Emperor, the taxes will go to the Gods (Partners Funds).

The previous system was a boost in regards to the taxes paid to Emperors, introduced in the War 2.0 Update, which has now been modified as explained above.

With the new modifications, as an Emperor, it is beneficial for you to have a small Capital Kingdom and the Kingdoms under your influence to have active Kings. Your purpose is to coordinate war campaigns to attack or defend while your Kings will take care of conquering more territory to annex to your Empire.

You can now also move buildings. The move button is available in the Building actions panel once you select the building. When you move a building, you will receive back half of the materials you used for building it and the building will be rebuilt in the new location.

The stockpile can be moved for a maximum of 3 times ever so take care when deciding on a location.

The difference between demolishing and moving is the fact that you get to keep your citizens and their living place associated with that building, as well as any stock, plot of land and the settings.

Make sure you have enough materials to rebuild to not encounter any problems with the move.

A new version of the CaveToKingdom patcher has also been released, so make sure that you open the game from the patcher so it can update itself before trying to log in. If the patcher is not updated, you will not be able to update the client to the latest version.

Release Notes are available on the General Forum, the Beta Release Notes – Updates thread.

Have fun!

In order to build the Fishery, you first have to research the technology behind it.

Once the stock of the transported materials will be gone, the Carrier will continue with the 3rd priority on the list, and so on.

Remember! The second Carrier will only be available for the duration of the Verified status. Once the status has expired, the stockpile will automatically downgrade to the 1st level and the second Carrier will return to be a citizen.

You can apply to Verify your account in the Invest menu, Verify Account option. There are a total of 3 packages available, for different prices which offer different availability for the Verified Status.
