It is through the idea of commander that the strategy game Rise of Kingdoms takes us on the steps of a gameplay that goes beyond that which we are used to trying in this type of game. And because all nations must have a charismatic and above all effective leader, it takes stock for you on the different specifics of commanders, and how to choose the one that will propel your people to the rank of nation.
The different categories of commanders
Rise of Kingdoms proposes to embody three types of commanders. Attackers, defenders and gatherers. To find out what type this or that commander is, just click on the character sheet and observe the indications that appear under his name. But what type of commander should be given priority? Here are some answers. You can find the Rise Of Kingdoms Guides there now.
The attackers
In Rise of Kingdoms, you have to know how to impose yourself, and to impose yourself you have to take care of your strike ability. This is why it is advisable in the first place to mount the commanders who are specialists in the attack.
It, for example, is an excellent starter commander. It has the characteristic “nuker” which gives it a very powerful active skill, in this case the lament of the insurgent who inflicts massive damage on the target and reduces his rage by 60. Also, this skill reduces the attack 13% target troops over the next few seconds.
But why is this insurgent lament so powerful?
The rage factor is the one that determines the use of a special ability. And these abilities can often turn a battle to your advantage. Reducing it can only serve you.
But Boadicée is also a “jungler”, that is to say that she is very efficient in the fight against barbarians who are, let us remember, the first enemies you will come across in Rise of Kingdoms. And these barbarians who shine with their tenacity in combat are also generous in rewards after their defeat: resources, chests, boosts, gems and sometimes even keys to be able to recruit new commanders. It is therefore more than essential to focus on the training of commanders who have the “jungler” ability. This is beneficial both for your economy (resources) and for your army. Yes, the barbarians sometimes make you loot statuettes to increase active abilities or tomes of knowledge for your commander’s experience. In summary, the more barbarians you kill, the more powerful you will be!
Once you have assembled your nukers and junglers, you will have to move on and do a little more finesse! At this point, there are two schools, some will advise you to mount the pickers and others will invite you to turn to the defenders. So that you can form your own opinion, here is a point on these two types of commanders.
The pickers
The pickers are the commanders who specialize in collecting resources. They therefore make it possible to quickly replenish the coffers of your city, whether with food, wood, stones or gold. Accompanied by a few troops, they can for your account loot agricultural land, lumber camps, stone deposits and gold deposits.
