Conquering Bases

Conquer attacks allow you to take ownership of enemy bases using the General tactical unit. This is how you expand your territory and capture strategic positions including Capital Bases.

How Conquering Works

To conquer a base:

  1. Include a General in your attack force
  2. Achieve a Decisive Victory in the battle
  3. General must survive the 11 waves of combat
  4. The base becomes yours upon victory

Important: The General is consumed after successfully conquering a base - plan your conquests strategically.

Level Preservation

When you conquer a base, its level is maintained:

  • Conquering a Level 10 resource base gives you Level 10 production immediately
  • This makes high-level enemy bases valuable conquest targets
  • You save the Brick and time that would be needed to upgrade from scratch

Base Type Maximum Limit
Headquarters 1 (cannot conquer)
Resource Bases 10
Mine Bases 4
Military Bases 5
