King’s Empire Resource Guide: How to get more gold, wood, food, iron and stone

Resources are the centerpiece of your gameplay and of your kingdom’s welfare in King’s Empire. Gold, food, wood, iron and stone are required to construct buildings, train new troops, upgrade, hire mercenaries, build a second, third or fourth city, and even to back up your friends and your allies in battle. It always seems like there isn’t enough of one resource or the other, but acquiring more of them is actually very easy. Read on to find out how to get more resources in King’s Empire!

Get more wood, food, iron and stone by upgrading your lumber mill, your farm, your iron mine and your quarry as high as you can get them. Upgrades are useless without adding more workers, however. Upgrade your Living Quarters as high as you can in order to maximize the number of citizens you can send to your resource buildings. Each citizen earns approximately 2 of one resource per hour when stationed at a resource building, and each upgrade increases the maximum amount of citizens.

Earn more gold by having citizens that are not dispatched to a resource building. Each free citizen earns you 1 gold per hour, and the more that you upgrade the living quarters, the more free citizens that you end up with (until you dispatch them). If you really want to maximize your gold, pull every one of your citizens out of the quarry, iron mine, farm and lumber mill and let them earn gold for you when they are all “free”.

Use the market to spend gold to buy other resources. Oftentimes, this can be a FAR better deal than employing your citizens, since you can spend 1 gold for 5-10 resources depending on what kind of deals you find and how much gold you can spend.

Attack other players and other NPCs (such as the Ashka Brotherhood, the Robber’s Camp and the Scarlet Crusaders) in order to raid and plunder their resources. The more troops that you send over, the more that you can earn from them.

Complete quests as quickly as possible in order to earn more of all five resources just as a reward for completing them. Each quest will earn you a different type of resource or resources – tap on the quest before you complete it to see what your reward will be. Once you complete the quest, go back and manually collect your reward.
