NovaKingdoms Guide
The essentials for growing a kingdom and surviving a fast-paced round.
How rounds work
NovaKingdoms is a real-time strategy game. The active round advances every ten seconds, so construction, exploration, training, income, and population continue while you play. A round lasts 690 ticks, followed by a short cooldown before the next round.
Your sector
Launch rounds contain two sectors, each able to hold any number of kingdoms. Use Sector View to compare land and networth, then open the War Room or Intelligence Agency directly from a rival's row.
Build momentum
Balance land, money, power, population, military, and probes. Your combined economy and forces determine networth. New kingdoms begin under temporary protection, giving you time to explore, build, and train.
Attacks and your war leader
Every kingdom has one war leader, who is sent automatically whenever you attack. The leader and surviving army return after exactly 12 ticks, or two minutes. Distance, map coordinates, sector, and planet type do not change this timer, and you cannot launch another attack until the war leader returns.
