Quick start

A five-step path from one gold click to your first prestige.

  1. 1

    Click the castle, then buy click power

    Your first gold comes from the keep. Spend early gold on click-power upgrades before you dump everything into population. The [getting started](/guides/getting-started/) page shows the opening ladder.

  2. 2

    Hire peasants for idle gold

    Population becomes peasants in the fields. Once idle gold outpaces clicks, expand the fog and unlock the monastery. [How to play](/guides/how-to-play/) covers the building order.

  3. 3

    Unlock stone, then wood

    The guild produces stone; wood arrives later and is usually the bottleneck. Follow [resource priority](/tier-list/resources/) so you do not starve the harbor.

  4. 4

    Sail, trade, then prestige

    Expedition ships buy discovery. Trade hegemony buys influence. When the monument appears, open the unlock tree instead of clicking it by accident — see [how to prestige](/guides/prestige/).

  5. 5

    Plan the next run

    Spend prestige on production that hurt this run (often wood) plus quality-of-life like Royal Servants. Use the [prestige planner](/tools/prestige-planner/) and the [first-hour checklist](/tools/first-hour/).
