Common questions
Short answers to the questions new players ask most, each with the page that explains more.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Siege & Settle is played in the browser. You can start as a guest with one click and save your progress later with a password.
What happens to a guest account?
It is a normal account without a password. Save your progress with one, or you lose it if you clear your browser or stay away for 30 days.
How is a world won?
By its eleven control points. You take one by beating its guard and leaving troops there; every hour each point you hold adds to your side's score. The first alliance, or player, to reach the world's target wins, and the world ends.
Which tribe should I choose?
The Romans if you are new or like a balanced game, the Germanic Tribes if you want to raid, the Dacians if you play a little each day or like to defend. More: Choosing a tribe.
Who keeps attacking my village?
Most likely the Barbarians: once a barbarian day they raid every player who is not protected. Beat them with troops at home, or pay a tribute in the Barbarians tab to be spared for the day.
How do I protect my resources?
In new worlds 500 of each resource are always safe. A Cranny hides more, a wall and troops at home make raids cost the raider, and spending your resources before you log off leaves less to take.
When does my beginner protection end?
After at least 72 real hours in new worlds, or earlier if you send troops to another player's village. Raiding Barbarian villages does not end it. More: Beginner protection.
What is the difference between a raid and a normal attack?
A raid fights, takes what its troops can carry and comes home; it never damages buildings or loyalty. A normal attack fights until one side is beaten, and only a normal attack lets rams, catapults and chiefs do their work. More: Fighting.
How do I get a second village?
You need enough culture points, a free slot of the Residence (level 10) or the Palace, and ten villagers with the resources to found it on a free tile. Or you take a village from someone else with chiefs.
What are oases for?
Once its Barbarians are gone, your villagers can work a nearby oasis for a production bonus, if your village has a Steward's House. More: Oases.
Do I lose all the troops that die?
Not with a Hospital: when your village loses fighting troops, part of the dead become wounded instead, and you can heal them back for half their training cost.
Can I play with a bot or an AI agent?
Yes, in Bot worlds: create an API key in your Profile and your program plays your account through the REST API or the MCP server, under the same rules as everyone. Classic worlds are for people in the browser only. More: How to play.
Where do I find the numbers of a unit or a building?
On its own page in the wiki: costs, times, attack and defence, upkeep and every level. The tribes' units side by side: Romans, Germanic Tribes, Dacians.
