Return to the
Golden Empire

Power is not the only way to matter. Find your strategic role, prepare your heroes and build a plan your whole alliance can contribute to.

09NOV

Pre-season begins · 2026

Announced opening window; check your server’s in-game schedule.

Three announced Awakenings. Same preparation requirements.

Operational strategy · Combat plans

Every Commander has a role.

Season 7 moves away from the previous eight-server integrated-map approach. The new strategy system gives development, support and offense distinct ways to contribute. Combine your approach with Tactics Cards and Alliance Skills.

Build your advantage

Development

Turn time between battles into progress. Focus on gathering, PvE and efficient daily development.

  • Gather resources and strengthen your economy.
  • Build progression efficiency around your daily activities.
  • Contribute through preparation, not only combat power.

Explore the roles; this selector is a guide, not an in-game selection or a recommendation based on your account.

Previewed battlefield tools

New ways to change the fight.

Sandworm Bomb

A timed threat carried by a Base.

Explore the mechanic
  • Plant a bomb on your Base or an ally’s Base; a countdown begins.
  • If it is not removed, the explosion heavily damages the durability of nearby enemy Bases.
  • Teleporting or being knocked away removes the bomb from its host.
  • Affected Bases receive temporary immunity to further Sandworm Bomb damage.

Exact timer, radius, damage and immunity duration are not yet specified in the preview.

Call for Help

Reinforcements that help your Base recover.

Explore the mechanic
  • Invite other players to station troops at your Base.
  • Stationed troops gradually restore the Base’s durability.
  • Use it to support defensive operations and important positions.

Repair rates, limits and detailed activation conditions await the final in-game rules.

Mummy Army

An attack can leave a second wave behind.

Explore the mechanic
  • Troops lost while attacking a building can return as projections near the target.
  • Projections from multiple alliance members can form a larger Mummy Army.
  • After a delay, the army automatically launches a rally against the building.
  • Projected troops have reduced combat stats.

Projection ratios, delay, caps and exact stats have not been announced.

The same established unlock requirements apply to each hero. Select one to check your preparation. The season must also have released that hero’s Awakening; readiness does not unlock unreleased content.
