Name: Wilderness Territory Level: Level One Faction: Human Power: Gondor Dynasty Identity: Northern Frontier Lord Durability: 1000 Prosperity: 200/1000 Population: 100/100 Building Slots: 20 Castle Building: Hero Altar Power Value: 100 Resource Territories: 0 War Territories: 0 Miracle Territories: 0 Upgrade Requirements: 1000 gold coins, 1000 units of stone, 1000 units of wood, 1000 units of food, 1000 units of minerals, and prosperity reaching 1000 points.
After naming it, the territory's panel changed as well.
A new building display had appeared.
This meant that new buildings could now be constructed in the territory.
His territory's current power value was only 100 points.
He could build a maximum of twenty buildings.
To increase the number of building slots, he needed to expand the territory and raise its power value.
For now, however, Fang Yuan did not need to consider that.
Twenty building slots were enough for his current needs.
He turned his gaze toward the upgrade requirements.
The gold and four major resources were all set at 1000 points.
For him at present, that was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
Prosperity was not difficult either.
He only needed to construct new buildings to increase it.
And new buildings only required Building Cards.
For a lord to construct a new building, he naturally had to possess a Building Card.
Each Building Card corresponded to one building.
Once it was used, obtaining another Building Card was the only way to build the same structure again.
That was why, during every lord's novice period,
development was extremely difficult.
Most lords started with only two buildings.
The main city and the Hero Altar.
There were only two ways to obtain more Building Cards.
The first was to buy them from the market, though only White Basic Building Cards were available there.
Those buildings were not very useful.
This was especially true of the military buildings among the White Basic Building Cards.
The combat power of the units they produced was pitifully weak.
Using such low-level troops, one could basically forget about opening up new territory.
The chances of dying horribly were extremely high.
Therefore, many lords chose the second option.
The second was to have a powerful lord lead them and join a lord's guild.
The guild would give them a generous early-stage building package.
Choosing this method often came with many harsh conditions.
For example, they might have to serve the guild for a certain number of years or provide soldiers for the guild's war expeditions and territorial development without compensation.
Their freedom would be extremely limited, and they could basically only develop within the guild for the rest of their lives.
Most of their gains would also be taken by the guild's upper echelons.
The exploitation was severe.
Unless they had no other choice, nobody was willing to join a guild.
Fang Yuan recalled what he knew about Building Cards.
At the same time, he looked toward his inventory.
"Fortunately, my luck is pretty good!"
"Two achievement rewards."
"Not only did they give me four White Basic Building Cards."
"They also gave me two Purple Rare Building Cards!"
Six Building Cards lay in Fang Yuan's inventory.
Four of them were Random Basic Building Cards, while the other two were advanced Building Cards.
Name: Random Basic Building Card Function: After opening, randomly obtain four White Basic Buildings.
There was nothing much to say about basic Building Cards.
They were all low-level building units.
For example, watchtowers, walls, sentry camps, and so on.
Their maximum level was only five. To continue upgrading them, one needed high-quality building blueprints.
But even after upgrading them, their combat power would not amount to much.
Of course, White Buildings were not completely useless.
When opening up territory, White Buildings made the best cannon fodder.
The consumption would be extremely high.
They were simply not very useful at the moment.
What could rapidly increase his combat power right now
were the two advanced Building Cards.
The Flame Mage Barracks and the Wolf Hunter Camp.
Name: Flame Mage Barracks Construction Card Quality: Purple Rare Function: Produces the Rare Unit Flame Mage after construction. Name: Wolf Hunter Camp Quality: Purple Rare Function: Produces the Rare Unit Wolf Hunter after construction.
Compared to White Building Cards,
advanced buildings not only had higher upgrade ceilings,
the combat power of the units they produced was also far beyond that of units from low-level buildings.
A Level One Purple Unit could easily wipe out an army made up of max-level White Units.
And if these Purple Units formed an army
and set out under the command of a Hero Unit,
they could bring out the combat power of the Hero Unit to the greatest extent.
At the same time, the prosperity provided by a Purple Building was five times that of a White Building.
In other words,
the 1000 prosperity points he needed for his upgrade
could be easily fulfilled by two Purple Buildings!!!
Fang Yuan looked at the two Building Cards in his warehouse.
This is perfect. I'll build them and fulfill the upgrade requirements.
And I'll see
what kind of units these two Purple Buildings produce!
Fang Yuan opened the construction panel and selected the Building Cards.
He then had to choose where to build them.
Through the Lord's Mark, Fang Yuan could see the terrain throughout the territory.
At present, the only area protected by walls was the main city.
It covered roughly thirty mu.
Although the other areas were also part of the territory and enjoyed seven days of invincibility protection,
they did not have the main city's walls protecting them.
Once the invincibility period ended,
they would easily come under attack.
Fang Yuan thought for a moment.
It was better to play it safe.
He would build these core structures within the main city's territory.
He immediately selected two locations inside the main city's walls.
When he placed the virtual building models there,
golden light flashed across the construction panel.
Ding, 5000 gold coins and 5000 units of resources (four types) have been consumed. You have built the Purple Rare Building Flame Mage Barracks! Ding, 5000 gold coins and 5000 units of resources (four types) have been consumed. You have built the Purple Rare Building Wolf Hunter Camp! Ding, during the novice period, construction time has been accelerated to zero. Ding, you have obtained the Level One Building Flame Mage Barracks. Prosperity +500. Ding, you have obtained the Level One Building Wolf Hunter Camp. Prosperity +500. Ding, the main city has met the upgrade requirements. It can now be upgraded to a Level Two Main City.
As the successive notifications rang out,
Fang Yuan looked outside the castle of his main city.
Two buildings now stood on the territory.
"The mage camp looks like an academy. It should produce ranged units."
"The Wolf Hunter Camp looks like a hunting ground. That one seems to produce melee units—or perhaps an all-purpose unit capable of both melee and ranged combat?"
"No need to guess."
"I'll just open it and take a look."
Unable to wait, Fang Yuan first opened the panel for the Flame Mage Camp.
Name: Flame Mage Barracks Level: LV1 Quality: Purple Rare Durability: 500 Prosperity: +500 Curio: None Output: Tier One Flame Mage (a Purple Rare ranged Fire Magic unit that has mastered flame spells; each unit consumes 5 population, 500 gold coins, and 500 food.)
Looking at the panel,
Fang Yuan thought, Just as I expected!
It matches my guess.
It's a ranged unit.
And a Fire Mage at that.
According to what Fang Yuan knew,
Fire Mages all possessed extremely high damage output.
The Flame Mage should be a high-damage unit.
That could be seen from its skills alone.
Fang Yuan clicked into the Flame Mage's page to view the unit's attributes.
Name: Novice Flame Mage Level: Tier One Quality: Purple Rare Combat Power: 500 Spell Power: 50 Health: 500 Mana: 500 Loyalty: 100 (all units begin with full loyalty) Skills: Chain Fireball, Novice Fire Elemental Summon, Flame Chain.
After seeing the panel.
Fang Yuan was not too surprised.
Because before this, Lilith's panel had already shocked him.
Of course!
But that did not mean the Flame Mage was weak!
Not only was this unit not weak.
It was even outrageously powerful!
It might seem like he had only 50 points of base magic power.
And only three first-tier skills.
Chain Fireball could only launch five small fireballs to attack the enemy, with just a 10% chance of stunning them.
Novice Fire Elemental Summon could only summon one Fire Elemental at a time, with 250 points of combat power.
Flame Chain could be considered a control skill, but it lasted only one second, and its damage was not high either.
But!
This thing was a mass-producible unit.
One might not look very strong.
But what about fifty?
What about a hundred!
And more crazily still.
A thousand!!!
Quantity could bring about qualitative change.
Under an absolute number, a 10% probability could also become 100%.
That was the difference between troops and heroes!
Moreover!
If these Purple Units were led by a high-tier Gold Unit.
Their combat power would double again!!!
That was why Fang Yuan felt that the Flame Mage would be so powerful.
With that thought, Fang Yuan selected production and prepared to start manufacturing.
But the prompt he received said that his current population was insufficient.
A first-level main city had a population limit of only 100.
To increase it, he had to upgrade.
Fang Yuan selected the main city and casually clicked upgrade.
At the same time, he looked toward the Wolf Hunter Camp.
"Just as I thought!"
"It's an all-purpose unit!"
