Resources are the materials with which you will build your kingdom. They are essential for nearly all gameplay activities - constructing buildings, hiring troops & heroes, unlocking & upgrading spells, and more. While you will start each game with a good amount of resources already in your treasury (depending on difficulty level) you will need to gather more to build and sustain your armies.
You find find resources in a number of different ways:
- As resource piles on the Adventure Map.
- Generated daily from captured mines, certain buildings constructed in your cities, and through certain artifacts & hero specializations.
- As a reward for visiting certain structures on the map.
