Stronghold Guide

“Tell me about yourself, and I’ll do my utmost to serve you with all the knowledge I’ve gathered.” - Maester Barneby

A Stronghold is the center of your capabilities in Dragonfire. This is where you can customize, build, upgrade, and train. Not only that, this is where your dragons lie, awaiting to be sent out to conquer new territory in your quest to conquer Westeros.

In this guide, we'll be going over all of the buildings currently available in your Stronghold, from your Throne Room to the Barracks, Upgrades, and the Dragon Pit.

The Throne Room

The Throne Room is where your player profile is located. You can view your Faction, personalize your name and portrait, and select your Great House. Once you select your 'History' and 'Ambitions', this will create your unique backstory.

Here you can personalize your Banner, this sigil will represent your marches while on the tile map.

Once you have your desired selection, tapping the 'Save' button will store the information on your profile and make it publicly available for other players to view.

In addition, the Throne Room is where you can access your Settings. 

On the left side panel, you can find your World ID, the server you are playing on as well as your Build Number, which informs you of the version of the game you are running on your device. 

Submit a ticket to our Support team by tapping the ‘Support’ button. This will directly link the account to your email address.

Upgrades

The Upgrades panel is where you can make enhancements to your stronghold, troops, and dragons. Doing so may improve the amount of troops you can train, the amount of resources a stronghold can produce, the amount of army slots you can use, or the amount of troops a dragon can lead.

Infrastructure

Upgrades in the Infrastructure tab will focus on enhancements to your stronghold. This means upgrades to your Barracks, to train and house larger armies, or upgrades to your resource production. 

• Granaries will provide additional Food.
• Quarries will provide additional Stone.
• Lumber Mills will provide additional Wood.
• Foundries will provide additional Iron.

Upgrading the above will allow you to produce more resources over-time until you reach your maximum capacity. When that occurs, your Storehouse  allows you to increase that capacity to hold more resources than before. 

Make sure to train toward Rapid Recruitment as quickly as possible, as you will be able to train more troops per second, allowing you to quickly replenish troops once they perish on the tile map.

War Tactics

Upgrades in the War Tactics tab will focus on enhancements to your troops in combat. Here is a list of some of the upgrades that are available.

• Army Expansion unlocks additional army slots.
• Swift Stride will speed up all army march times.
• Relentless Assault will increase your army’s damage to non-player armies.
• Stalwart Defense reduces damage your army takes from non-player armies.
• Cavalry, Archers, Spearmen, and Shieldbearer Attack increases the damage dealt for armies using the appropriate troop type.
• Combat Training will increase how much experience your dragons gain in battle against non-player enemies.
• Cavalry, Archers, Spearmen, and Shieldbearer Defense reduces the damage received for armies using the appropriate troop type.
• Siege Precision increases the amount Siege Damage your armies deal.
• Rapid Reposition will allow players to reinforce garrisons faster and march quicker to them.
• Ruins Reinforcement will allow players to garrison additional armies in ruins.

Dragon Care

Upgrades in the Dragon Care tab will focus on enhancements to your dragon's army capabilities. Here is a list of some of the upgrades that are available.

• Dragon's Army increases how many troops each dragon adds to your armies.
• Might of Valyria increases every dragon's strength.
• Wisdom of Valyria increases every dragon's intelligence. 
• Conqueror's Instinct enhances every dragon's Instinct.
• First Flame enhances every dragon's initiative.
• Hunter's, Sentinel's, Warrior's, and Champion's Attack increases the damage dealt by dragons of the appropriate breed.

Hunter's, Sentinel's, Warrior's, and Champion's Defense reduces the damage received by dragons of the appropriate breed.

NOTE: Stronghold upgrades reset at the start of each new campaign, so take advantage and attempt different strategies to prepare for the next

Barracks

The Barracks is where you can train and store troops to use on the tile map. These troops are generic, and once you assign them to an army you will be able to determine which troop type you would like them to be.

This panel will display the troops you have, the troops you’ve stored, as well as the cost and time to train additional forces.

Armies

The Armies tab is where you can create armies to send out on marches into the world of Westeros. Tapping the ‘Create Army’ button will send you to the ‘Army Builder.’ Once there, select your dragons, troops and build your army to your specifications.

Dragon Pit

The Dragon Pit is where you can view the dragons you have collected from the Hatchery. In the right side panel, you can view a Dragon's rarity, breed, troop affinity, Star Rank progression, Reign level, Habits and unique Command. In the left panel, you can view all of the dragons you have collected and those you have left to discover.

• Dragon Rarity reflects the Hatchery drop rate. This, in turn, will affect a Dragon's maximum power and overall impact in combat.

• Star Rank is a progression system that can be upgraded by collectingDragon Relics in the Hatchery. The higher Star Rank your Dragon is, the more powerful they are. Star Ranks increase a dragon’s stats and unlock new skills, called Habits. Star Ranks are retained between Reigns.

• Regin Level is increased by using dragons in combat, where they will gain experience based on the number of enemy troops killed. Increasing a dragon's Reign level will help them fight against higher-level tiles and enemies. Unlike Star Rank, Reign Level will restart at the beginning of each new reign.

Market

The Market is where you can purchase and exchange items for preferred goods!

Tap the ‘Resources’ tab to exchange gold for Food, Wood, Stone and Icon. You can also exchange one resource for another, after all the center you keep may benefit from a little local bartering.

Tap the ‘Relic Shards’ tab to exchange Dragon Shard Dust for Dragon Relics and Dragonbone Keys. Dragon Shard dust can only be obtained when you receive relics from dragons you have already upgraded to their maximum Star Rank.

Tap the ‘Gold’ tab to exchange relics and Dragon Glass Keys for Gold.

Relocation

Your stronghold has the ability to relocate to a different location on the tilemap. Whether it's to gain higher level resource tiles, or reduce march and reinforcement times, as you slowly expand your influence you will need to move forth to take appropriate action.

Be warned, you can only relocate your stronghold every 2 days. If successful, all marches will be recalled to the new stronghold location. 

Note that allied faction members cannot block a player's new relocation, but enemies can. Proximity to where you are fighting provides a lot of advantages, but can put your stronghold in the sites of your enemies. If an enemy conquers a tile you need to relocate before your relocation march arrives, the relocation will fail. Thankfully, no cooldown will be used and you can attempt to relocate again.
