Building the Barracks, Flame Mage Camp

[Name]: Wilderness Territory

[Level]: One

[Faction]: Human

[Affiliation]: Gondor Dynasty

[Identity]: Northern Frontier Territory Lord

[Durability]: 1000

[Prosperity]: 200/1000

[Population]: 100/100

[Building Slots]: 20

[Castle Buildings]: Hero Altar

[Influence]: 100

[Resource Territories]: 0

[War Territories]: 0

[Wonder Territories]: 0

[Upgrade Conditions]: 1000 units of Gold Coin, 1000 units of Stone, 1000 units of Wood, 1000 units of Food, 1000 units of Ore, and Prosperity reaching 1000 points.

After completing the naming, the territory's panel also changed.

Building display was added.

This meant that new buildings could now be constructed in the territory.

Currently, his territory's influence was only 100 points.

The maximum number of buildings that could be constructed was 20.

To increase building slots, he needed to expand the territory's range and increase its influence.

However, for the time being, Fang Yuan didn't need to worry too much about these things.

Twenty building slots were enough for his current needs.

He turned his attention to the upgrade conditions.

Gold coins and the four major resources were all 1000 points.

For his current self, this was merely a drop in the bucket.

Prosperity wasn't difficult either.

Prosperity would increase simply by constructing new buildings.

And new buildings only required Building Cards.

For a Lord to construct new buildings, they must have Building Cards.

Each Building Card corresponded to one building.

After using one, to build it again, they would have to obtain a new Building Card.

Therefore, during the early stages for any Lord, development was extremely difficult.

Typically, a Lord would start with only two buildings:

The Main City and the Hero Altar.

To obtain more Building Cards, there were only two ways.

One was to buy them at the market, but one could only buy White Basic Building Cards.

These buildings were not very useful.

Especially the military buildings within the White Basic Building Cards.

The units they produced had weak combat power.

Generally, with such low-level troops, one could barely even expand their territory.

They would most likely be wiped out instantly.

So, many Lords chose the second option.

Two: Have a powerful player guide them and join a Lord's Guild.

The Guild would provide an early-game building gift package.

Choosing this method often came with many harsh conditions.

Such as having to serve the Guild for a certain number of years, or having to provide soldiers for the Guild's wars without compensation, and so on.

Freedom was very limited, and one could basically only develop within the Guild for their entire life.

Most of their own gains would also be taken by the Guild's upper management.

It was quite oppressive.

No one would willingly join a guild unless absolutely necessary.

Fang Yuan's mind recalled knowledge about building cards.

At the same time, he looked into his inventory.

"Fortunately, my luck is good!"

"Two achievement rewards."

"Not only did I get four White Basic Building Cards."

"But also two Purple Rare Building Cards!"

Six building cards lay in Fang Yuan's inventory.

Four of them were Random Basic Building Cards, and two were advanced building cards.

[Name]: Random Basic Building Card

[Use]: Upon opening, randomly obtain four White Basic Buildings.

There wasn't much to say about basic building cards.

They were all low-level building units.

Such as watchtowers, walls, sentry camps, and so on.

The highest level was only five. To upgrade further, one would need high-quality building blueprints.

However, even if upgraded, their combat power wouldn't be very high.

Of course, white buildings weren't completely useless.

When the territory needed to be expanded, white buildings served as the best cannon fodder.

The consumption would be very high.

But currently, their use was limited.

What could quickly enhance 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

[Use]: Upon construction, produces the rare unit, Flame Mage.

[Name]: Wolf Hunter Camp

[Quality]: Purple Rare

[Use]: Upon construction, produces the rare unit, Wolf Hunter.

Compared to the white building cards.

Advanced buildings, besides having higher levels.

The combat power of the units they produced was incomparable to these low-level buildings.

A level one purple unit could easily destroy an army composed of a full complement of level five white units.

And if these purple units formed an army.

Led by a hero unit on an expedition.

They could maximize the combat power of the hero unit.

Furthermore, the prosperity added by purple buildings was five times that of white buildings.

This meant!

The 1000 prosperity points required for his upgrade.

Could be easily met by two purple buildings!!!

Fang Yuan looked at the two building cards in his warehouse.

He thought to himself, "It's just right to build them and complete the upgrade requirements."

"And also see!"

"What units these two purple buildings produce!"

Fang Yuan opened the construction panel and chose to use the building cards.

Next was to select the construction site.

Through the Lord's Mark, Fang Yuan could see the entire terrain of the territory.

Currently, the area protected by city walls was the Main City area.

It was about 30 mu.

Although the other places were also territories and had seven days of invincibility protection.

They did not have the protection of the Main City's walls.

Once the invincibility period ended.

They were easily attacked.

Fang Yuan thought for a moment.

It was better to be safe.

He decided to build these core buildings within the Main City's territory.

Immediately, he selected two locations within the Main City's walls.

When the virtual graphics of the buildings were placed, the building panel flashed with golden light.

"Ding, consumed 5000 gold coins and 5000 resources (four types), you have constructed the Purple Rare building, Flame Mage Barracks!"

"Ding, consumed 5000 gold coins and 5000 resources (four types), you have constructed the Purple Rare building, Wolf Hunter Camp!"

"Ding, during the novice period, construction time is accelerated to 0."

"Ding, you have obtained the Level 1 building, Flame Mage Barracks, Prosperity +500."

"Ding, you have obtained the Level 1 building, Wolf Hunter Camp, Prosperity +500."

"Ding, the Main City has met the upgrade requirements, currently can be upgraded to Level 2 Main City."

As the continuous notification sounds fell.

Fang Yuan looked outside his Main City's castle.

Two buildings had already been erected on the territory.

"The Mage Barracks looks like an academy, it should be a ranged unit."

"The Wolf Hunter Camp looks like a hunting ground, this one seems to be melee, perhaps a versatile unit that can do both ranged and melee?"

"No more guessing."

"Let's just open them up and see."

Fang Yuan eagerly opened the panel for the Flame Mage Barracks first.

[Name]: Flame Mage Barracks

[Level]: LV1

[Quality]: Purple Rare

[Durability]: 500

[Prosperity]: +500

[Curio]: None

[Output]: Tier 1 Flame Mage (A Purple Rare ranged fire magic unit that masters flame-based spells. Each unit consumes 5 population, 500 gold coins, and 500 food.)

Seeing the panel.

Fang Yuan thought to himself, "Just as I suspected!"

"It's a ranged unit, just like I guessed."

"And it's a fire mage."

As far as Fang Yuan knew.

Fire mages dealt very high damage.

The Flame Mage should be a high-damage unit.

This could be seen from its skills.

Fang Yuan clicked to view the Flame Mage's unit panel.

[Name]: Novice Flame Mage

[Level]: Tier 1

[Quality]: Purple Rare

[Combat Power]: 500

[Spell Power]: 50

[Health]: 500

[Mana]: 500

[Loyalty]: 100 (All units start with maximum loyalty)

[Skills]: Chain Fireball, Novice Fire Elemental Summon, Flame Chain.

After seeing the panel.

Fang Yuan wasn't too surprised.

Because he had already been shocked by Lilith's panel before.

Of course!

However, it couldn't be said that Flame Mages were weak!

Not only were these units not weak.

They were even excessively strong!

Never mind that they only had 50 base magic power.

And only three Tier 1 skills.

Chain Fireball could only launch five small fireballs to attack enemies, with only a 10% stun chance.

Novice Fire Elemental Summon could only summon one Fire Elemental with 250 combat power at a time.

Flame Chain was a control skill, but it only lasted for one second and the damage wasn't high.

But!

These were mass-producible units.

One unit might not seem strong.

But what about fifty?

A hundred!

Or even more outrageously, A thousand!!!

Quantity leads to qualitative change.

A 10% chance would also become 100% under an absolute number.

This was the difference between troop units and heroes!

Moreover!

If these Purple Units were led by a high-tier Gold Unit, Their combat power would double again!!!

This was why Fang Yuan felt Flame Mages would be very strong.

With this thought, Fang Yuan selected production, preparing to produce them.

But he received a prompt that his current population was insufficient.

A Level 1 Main City only had 100 population.

To increase it, he needed to upgrade.

Fang Yuan selected the Main City and casually clicked to upgrade.

At the same time, he looked at the Wolf Hunter Camp again.

"As expected!"

"It's a versatile unit!"
