Tip #1. Choosing the Right Civilization Matters 

Civilizations are going to be the core of your account at any given point in time. Each civilization brings its own pros and cons that need to be weighed before making this important choice. Each civilization has a set of permanent buffs that are given to players and stay with them for the entire duration of your account. You cannot change your civilization once chosen at the start of the game. Also, each civilization provides you with their mascot general as a free Epic General at the beginning of the game. Similarly, your progression and rewards will also be changed depending on your civilization.

Tip #2. Following the Main Quests

Era of Conquest does not have a tutorial but it does provide an in-depth questing system that allows players to get a basic hang of the game along with understanding how to progress as a new player. These quests are highlighted in yellow color and located on the left-hand side of the main menu. Players can simply tap on them and the game’s AI (Artificial Intelligence) will take you to the questing area. These quests are also quite simplistic and provide a significant amount of rewards in the form of General Summoning seeles, wood, iron, steel, coins, and grains. Some quests are also capable of giving you Gems, the premium currency.

Tip #3. Summoning Top Tier Generals

As with any gacha game, Era of Conquest also barres no exception when it comes to progress directly being equated to power. And, the biggest way to increase your fighting prowess is to recruit the more powerful generals from the summoning pool. Following the standard gacha tropes, the highest rarity Generals are going to be available at the lowest probabilities and the lowest rarity Generals are going to be available at the highest probabilities. We would recommend checking out an accurate tier list for the best heroes in the game. 

Tip #4. Upgrading your Civic Center

Another area that newbies to the Era of Conquest should try to upgrade as much as possible is the Civic Center. The process is not too complicated, so there is no need for concern. When constructing the Civic Center, players are allowed to expedite the process if it takes less than five minutes. The best method to improve the Civic Center is to upgrade every option in the three categories (Economic Class, Military Class, and Special Class). Upgrading the Civic Center offers players a number of advantages, including greater wealth, an increased Lead Cap that lets you assign more soldiers to a single team, and access to numerous new features. 

Tip #5. Unlocking New Skills for Heroes

Many might not pay attention to this aspect of powering up but equipping strong skills to your heroes is going to make them much more powerful in & outside of battles. Just like heroes, skill cards are also majorly obtained through summoning. The Skill cards also come in different rarities, with each one providing either an active effect or a passive effect. If it’s active, then the AI of the hero will use the skill in battles. If it’s passive, then the effect will be applied automatically throughout the battle.

Playing Era of Conquest on a bigger screen of your PC with BlueStacks without worrying about battery drainage and smooth gameplay, is highly recommended.
