Reading through the forums lately, it seems some people are a bit confused about the way kingdoms are levelled now, so I thought I’d write a simple guide on the subject, using Zaejin as an example. [image] Looking at a kingdom now, you can see three informations: the name of the kingdom, a number of stars and a shield with a number. [image] Stars represent your kingdom POWER. Power increases your earnings, your tribute chance and quantity, and potentially doubles t… 2600 points How do you increase your kingdom power? Power is increased through kingdom experience points. Three components are used to give said xp: units, unit levels and traits. Each kingdom supposedly consists in 8 units. Each unit you own grants you 50 point, up to 400 xp points total. Each unit level grants you 10 points, and each unit can be levelled up to 20 (Mythic), up to 1600 xp points total. Each unlocked trait on a kingdom unit grants you 25 points, up to 600 xp points total. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/yes-i-need-arcane-stones-but-why/6173)._
