Understanding Your Troops
In a nutshell, this is a city building game where you will have to build up your troops to conquer and destroy enemies. Please check our The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-Earth Best Troops and Combat Guide for more information about your armies and units.
Protection Time Frame
At the beginning of the game, your City will have a protection during your initial stage. However, you will lose the beginner’s protection after 7 days or if you upgrade your Keep to level 5 or higher. This means that you should upgrade all the support buildings and only do the Keep as the last stage.
Basic Buildings and Research Information
Ore veins are limited by how advanced your keep is. You can increase your resource building limit by upgrading your keep.
The various research in the game is necessary to unlock additional building upgrades and military units. They can be accessed under the City view.
How to Get Second City
To build a second City in The Hobbits, you will have to be level 7 and get a Second City Deed. The deed can be obtained by making a Sage’s Tower and earn relics. “The relics can be gained through hitting camps. However, they are currently not dropping in the game until further releases.
Best Tax Rate
With some basic testing and playing with the tax setting in The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-earth , we think that a good 50% is one of the best tax rate to set for maximum income.
Wilds and Goblin Camps
You can attack the wilds to gain resource enhancing tiles that boost your production. And you can conquer the Goblin camp to earn additional resources. Please check The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-earth Wild and Goblin Camp Strategy for the defenses that these tiles hold.
