I’m a wealthy duck with souls and traits lol
The hourly tribute adds up quick, I even set an hour timer to hop on and grab it while watching tv. 1 star doubles tribute, 3 stars doubles tribute chance. 5 star is more end game for the extra +1 stat.
14 traits is key, it let’s 7 troops 3 star and 9 troops 5 star when all at level 20. Occasionally there are troop refunds and I respec them.
I probably average 4 kingdoms giving tribute, think my highest was 9.
14 3 star
5 5 star
Rest 1 star, all level 10
