Capital Siege: make sure everyone is playing the same plan

Standard Capital Siege and Kingdom Duel look related, but they do not use the same victory conditions.

First identify the mode

In the standard Capital rules, an alliance needs a level-six city to contest the Capital. The siege can run for up to eight hours; full capture progress can decide it, otherwise the longest hold at the end matters.

Kingdom Duel has a separate four-hour contest. If neither kingdom reaches full capture progress within that limit, the defending kingdom wins in the listed rules. Do not reuse a standard-siege plan without checking the active mode.

Prepare for the Deadzone restrictions

The reference requires Castle level 12 or higher for Deadzone entry and describes restrictions on shields, March Speedups, Intel and Bounty Tasks there. Read the live event rules before teleporting or committing resources.

Our advice is to agree on rally leadership, reinforcements and healing preparation in advance. A rule-compliant plan still needs enough people to execute it.

Treat Ballistas and occupation scoring carefully

The Kingdom Duel reference gives Ballistas a specific role: they attack an enemy-held Capital and can increase capture speed when your kingdom controls it. The details belong to that mode, not every siege.

Occupation scoring depends on Squad Power in the listed effects. We do not have a universal fixed score-per-second rule, so we do not turn those descriptions into a guaranteed score forecast.

Use royal benefits at the right moment

Royal positions and temporary favors can affect construction, research, training or healing. Before beginning a long action, check the actual buff, approval status and remaining appointment time.

Queues, awards and appointment permissions have their own conditions. Read them in-game rather than assuming that winning the siege automatically gives every member the same benefit.

Keep exploring

Check before you spend

Game rules and values can change. Verify active event rules, recruitment odds and upgrade costs in-game before spending.
