At first, you may find Reign and Conquer extremely complicated. However, if you stay there and play, you can easily get used to the game. At first, you need to build your main building. Here is a list of the main buildings for each race:
Humans -> Castle
Elves -> Great Tree
Undead -> Dark Citadel
Orcs -> Stronghold
Use Q and E keys, in Kingdom Tool, to find the main building of your respective race. When you find it, go take a good look at the map, and find a good spot to build your castle: FAR from your enemies and with me MAXIMUM possible number of nearby resources. When you find the perfect spot, just click a square. Your main building will appear there
After you have your main building, you'll have to expand your territory. Remember: you can only build in squares with AT LEAST 2 adjacent buildings. The only exception for that rule is if the main building.
Now that you have your main building, and knows how the territory system works, it's time to get rich! Here is a list of the resource-extracting buildings in RaC II:
Orcs -> Extraction site (extracts both gold and wood)
Elves -> Golden sprout (extracts gold) and Ancient forest (extracts wood)
Human -> Gold mine (extracts gold) and Lumber Mill (extracts wood)
Undead -> Gold extractor (extracts gold) and Haunted Lumber Mill (extracts wood)
Remember that if the building extracts gold, it can only be built if there is a gold mine in range. If it extracts wood, it can only be built if there is a forest in range. The range is of 3 squares at maximum.
Lay down some of these buildings, to get your economy up and running as soon as possible. After that, it's time to get an army. Each race has an advantage in a type of troop. Orcs have got better infantry, and elves have got better ranged attacks.
When you have troop producing buildings, it's time to recruits troops. To recruit troops, just put your mouse over a troop producing building and click it. Simple as that.
If you have made any mistake in the past steps, check these hotkeys:
With Kingdom Tool:
M -> Sells the building your mouse is on
With Recruiter Tool:
M -> Removes one queued unit from the building your mouse is on.
N -> Loops troop production of the building your mouse is on. That way, it will keep producing troops until you toggle looped production, using N key again.
With Commander Tool:
M -> Sells one troop
N -> Toggles full selection mode (you'll start selecting all the troops in the square, instead of one)
To move your troops, just click and drag with commander tool. Remember: if you don't have enough food, your troops will STARVE TO DEATH. Each race has it's own food producing building. Check the list:
Humans -> Towns and villages.
Elves -> Tree House
Undead -> Pit of the Dead
Orcs -> Orc burrow
If you want to know the commands of the game, use the "!commands" command, without the ", obviously. |

so you can't use the Move all command?
1st :D |

It does work, but you have to spell the name of the person correctly, with capitals and everything. Then, there must be a third parameter. It can be:
- all -> will send all your troops to the base of the person.
- number -> will send number troops to the base of the person
- unitType -> will send all units of unitType to the base of the person. |

So what is a necropolis< sorry if misspelled, are they a fortress of some sort? or like a town? |
|
|
I thank you for making this guide, SirGelatina! It has relieved my few concerns (I.E. Do I actually use this building for that? ) |

THere's one problem. NO matter how many mines or lumber mills i make and no matter where i put them, no resources. i put the mines next to gold and mills next to trees but still no resources. i don't no why. |
|

SirGelatina, I find many unessesary buildings in RaC II for Undead. I had extras I didn't know about. These are the Buildings as followed : Infernal Tower, Necropolis, and Soul Tower. Can you explain the purpose they serve? And can you name the Advantages Shirt owners have like Undead, Orc, and Elves. |

i can't spawn a castle when i'm green |
|

The undead is the only race with two types of towers: Soul tower and Infernal Tower. The soul towers can hit 2 units per round, but has less damage than the infernal tower. The infernal tower can hit only 1 unit per round, but has more damage than the soul tower. Also, people are asking what does Fortresses, War Halls and Necropolises does. They're secondary castles. They don't have the same effect over your territory, like the castle (you can't build them in the middle of nowhere), but they still have got a good attack. That's why i recommend using these buildings to defend key positions. |

To any who say something isn't working, the server you are/were on is glitched. The game is new, and it'll have glitched. SirGelatina is fixing them, and I know that cause the worse ones are gone... Just move servers til you find an un-glitched one.
Not sure if this glitch still happens, but a warning, just in case:
Changing maps with !votemap glitches the server. I'd make sure it's fixed before you do it.
What's the Nectropolis do? That's my only problem...
It sounds like a city... |

How come when i send my troops to the person's base they dont attack?
I'm not allied with them but when i send troops to attack other troops or buildings they dont do damage to them. |

I can't figure out how to get different race's main building |
|
|
Great game but this is pretty much like Warcraft 3 reign of chaos |
|
|
I still don't understand how you get food. I mean everything other than undead can get food easily. |
