Relic

Overview

Relics are a special type of building and the central element of the second post-release major update. They allow players to benefit from special abilities or bonuses but need to be forged first by assigning Smiths to a Forge.

• A relic cost 100, 50 and 10 and takes less than 9 months to be forged with two regular smiths. Once built it needs to be placed an area like a regular building.
• It is not possible to build more than one relic per game. Only Horse clan can build a second one upon reaching 500 .
• Allies cannot build the same relic. It is not possible to steal another player's relic.

While some relics are common and can be built by any clan, others can only be built by one specific clan.
