Golden Empire Season Guide:

Welcome to the Golden Empire! This season introduces an Egyptian theme and a crucial new mechanic: Curse Resistance. Follow this guide to get a fast start!

Core Goal: Maximize Curse Resistance

Your top priority is to increase Curse Resistance. This stat determines the level of tiles you can occupy and the strength of seasonal monsters (Sombies/Mummies) you can kill.

Purpose

1. Obelisk: Increases your Curse Resistance. Prioritize upgrading this!

2. Holy Alter: Produces Holy Water, which is needed for Obelisk upgrades.

Key Resource Used

1. Obelisk: Holy Water & Obsidian

2. Holy Alter: Obsidian

Getting Started: Day 1 Priorities

Tile: Immediately capture level 1 tiles to start gathering the new seasonal resources.

Build: Quickly build the Holy Altar and the Obelisk.

Produce: The Holy Altar passively produces Holy Water. Collect it often!

Upgrade: Use your Holy Water and Obsidian to upgrade the Obelisk first. Higher Curse Resistance lets you kill higher-level monsters and conquer better resource tiles.

Resource Focus:

Obsidian is gained by killing seasonal monsters (like Sombies/Mummies) and clearing high-level tiles. Holy Water is produced by your Holy Altar.

Combat & Alliance Play

Solo: Kill the highest level of Sombies/Mummies you can access to farm Obsidian.

Alliance: Participate in Sand Worm rallies. These give valuable Sand Chests and are the best source of powerful seasonal items.

Older servers welcomed Golden Empire at season 3 So we have some guide videos from them as such:
