How to play Social Empires: Guide & Codex

What is Social Empires about?

It is a strategy game: you build houses and farms, send villagers to gather resources, train troops and stand up to the trolls. As you grow, dragons, heroes and fortresses join in.

The server saves and checks your progress (resources, buildings, troops and quests), so your village is the same in any browser.

The first steps, in the same order the game teaches them.

1. 

   Train villagers

   Click the Town Hall and choose Train. Villagers are the ones who gather resources: without them, your village produces nothing.

2. 

   Put them to work

   Select a villager and click a crop to produce food, or a tree to get wood.

3. 

   Collect and build

   When the food is ready, an icon appears: click it and it's added to your storage. With what you gather, you build more houses, a mill or barracks.

4. 

   Raise an army

   Barracks train infantry, archers, cavalry and siege machines. The higher your level, the more options open up.

5. 

   Withstand the attacks

   Trolls camp nearby and attack every few hours. Your towers and troops decide how each attack ends.

6. 

   Choose your first draggy

   When you finish the tutorial you get a dragon nest and pick one draggy out of three. After that, every level gives you a new title and unlocks buildings and troops.
