Success inThronefallgreatly hinges on your ability to efficiently manage both your army and theeconomy. While building a strong military is important to protect your kingdom from progressively more challenging enemy forces,raising enough gold is also equally important to upgrade the military and vital defense structures of your kingdom.
Knowing how to consistently generate gold is key to both bolstering your kingdom’s defenses andupgrading key structures to their maximum potential.Here are some of the most efficient ways to build a prosperous economy inThronefall.
Focus On Building Residential Buildings
Residential buildings generate one gold per night, and upgrading them increases their gold production by 1. Early in the game,it’s best to focus on building multiple level 1 houses and upgrading the Castle Center to level 2. A level 2 Castle Center allows you to pick one special perk, including theBuilder’s Guild perk that automatically upgrades all level 1 houses to level 2.
Please note that any residential structure destroyed in battle will not produce any gold the next morning, so protecting them from enemy forces is equally important to sustain a consistent gold income. However, theResilient Residences perk allows even destroyed houses to produce gold the morning after a battle.
Build Gold Mines When You’re Running Low On Gold
Gold mines work differently from residential structures in how they generate gold. Gold mines initially produce 8 gold per night, but the output declines by -1 gold per night for the rest of the level. Building a gold mine just when you’re running out of gold can be a game saver, as they are an excellent source of high income, and should be treated as a backup source of income during tough economic situations.
Sincegold mines generate high gold output in the first few days after they are built, relying on this feature will allow you to overcome potential economic crises and quickly bounce back into the game.
Build Harbors Early
Some levels inThronefallwill provide you with an option tobuild Harbors to generate additional income.Harbors start with zero boats and acquire one boat each night, to a maximum of five boats. Gold income from Harbors is tied to the number of boats in the Harbor.
However, you can double this income by upgrading the Harbor for the second time. Harbors are a great source of gold income, andit’s recommended to prioritize building them in levels where there is an option to build one. TheBig Harbors perk increases the capacity of boats that a Harbor can hold from five to seven, and increases the building’s maximum health by 100%, but they also cost 3 additional gold if you choose to upgrade them to level 2.
Pick The Right Perks
InThronefall, you can pick five perks when starting a map. Perks are an excellent way to tailor your gameplay experience on a map, such as by improving defenses, bolstering your character’s health and damage output, and even increasing gold production.
Here are the four best perks available inThronefallthat will boost your economy:
If you’re still early in the game, you might not have access to some of these listed perks. You unlock perks by naturally progressing through the game.
