Upgrading Your

Civilization’s Units

You can use upgrades to gather Food faster, add hitpoints,

increase the rate of trade, and so forth. Each upgrade,

however, has its price—typically, Food, Wood, Coin, or a

combination of resources. The Command panel displays

the upgrades available to you at any given time.

While most units have upgrades, the upgrades available

to you depend on both your unit and your civilization.

To upgrade a unit

1. Select the building associated with the unit you want

to upgrade. The Command panel will display the

upgrades currently available to that unit.

2. Make sure you have enough Food, Wood, and Coin

resources for the upgrade.

3. Click the

Upgrade button for that unit in the

Command panel.

Protecting Your Villagers from Attack

Attacking villagers is a highly effective way to impede the

gathering of Food, Wood, and Coin, which can devastate

an economy, so it’s important you protect your villagers

when they come under enemy attack. One of the best ways

to do this is by garrisoning them in your Town Center.

To garrison speciﬁc villagers

1. Select the villager or villagers you want to garrison.

2. Click the

Garrison button at the lower-right of

the screen.

3. Click your Town Center.

The selected villagers will disappear into your

Town Center.

To put garrisoned villagers back to work

1. Click the Town Center.

2. Click the

Garrison button at the lower-right side

of the screen.

The garrisoned villagers emerge from your Town Center

and resume gathering Food, Wood, and Coin.

To garrison all your villagers at one time, click the Town

Bell button. Click it again to have all your villagers leave

the Town Center.
