Resources are the backbone of your foundations as an empire in Empire City: Build and Conquer. The game pushes you constantly to farm more of them, and keeps you on this job for a long period of time. See, resources are required to build anything in the game, from the core buildings, all the way to training men for the army. Each resource is crucial and paves the way to expand your empire. We have crafted the perfect guide for beginners who are in desperate need of these resources.

What are Resources in Empire City?

Like we said, a resource is essentially a form of raw material which is used to build anything in Empire City: Build and Conquer. This includes all residential buildings, military buildings, public buildings, waterworks, craftsman buildings, and decorative amenities. Resources play an important role in crafting your city. In fact, the entire game revolves around these resources. You will need to painstakingly wait for specific durations of time while these resources take their own time to build up. Let’s learn how you produce different types of resources.

Key Resources in Empire City: Build and Conquer

By the term “key” resources, we mean the raw materials which are the most basic. Essentially, these are the building blocks of anything meaningful in the game. Now, like any city-builder, you unlock these resources one at a time. This actually helps you learn more about their use cases, so that you are prepared beforehand. Usually, key resources are the only roadblock. Once you have a good flow of resources going in and out, you will realize that building is actually easy. The key resources in Empire City are as follows.

Stone

Stone is the most basic raw material in Empire City. It is abundantly used to construct buildings, as well as to make other types of resources. For example, it is mixed with water to make a clay mixture. This clay mixture is the foundation of any building, especially in the early game. More on this later. Now, there are a variety of ways to get your hands on Stone. The best and primary way is to simply build the Stone Quarry. Line-up the stones in this quarry to start producing them.

The production rate is slow at the start, but can be upgraded as you level up. Stone Quarry is also the very first resource building the tutorial will teach you about. Hence, you can get used to it pretty quickly. Just make sure to keep filling out stones whenever you run out of them in the queue.

The next method is by directly receiving stones via completing quests and challenges. These quests refresh on a daily basis. Meanwhile, the starter main quests also offer stones that are part of random resource chests. You receive a ton of these chests, and it’s recommended you open them as soon as they come. The last method to directly obtain stones is via watching in-game advertisements. Yes, Empire City runs ads, but they are optional to watch. If you are in need of some quick stones, consider watching an ad.

Water

The lifeline of every living being, as well as a catalyst to several processes, Water is very crucial. It is introduced as a key resource early on in the tutorial as well. You need water for all purposes in the game, be it to make other resources, to quench the thirst of the population, and to keep the empire running steady. You can get water from a variety of buildings. In fact, there’s a whole section of buildings for it in the game! Different water buildings unlock at different levels, so make sure to grind your account.

Food

Food is an equally important resources as Water in Empire City: Build and Conquer. After all, the purpose of you in the game is to build an empire from scratch. That feat requires a ton of military prowess and forces. Who will feed these military personnel? That’s right, as their leader, that duty falls on you. Apart from being used to training more army personnel, it is used in other purposes like creating tasty dishes. Food can be earned by constructing different buildings in the game such as Vegetable Tent, Farm, Windmill, Barn, and Latifundium.
