Hello Everyone, my name is Commodore Boris. I've been playing Rise of Kingdoms for about 3 years, and have experienced a lot of what this amazing, chaotic, fun game has to offer. From little things you can do to improve your experience, to planning all out battle tactics, we will cover the big and small here on my channel. But most importantly, we will have fun doing it. That means I want to hear from you all as well. What things work for you? What things don't? What things should I talk about? Ultimately my goal is to provide a space where players can talk, strategize, and communicate to better each other and to help everyone achieve victory. Finally, just remember, good luck, fight well, and I will see YOU on the battlefield.

Daily Uploads at 14h UTC on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday!

Hey everyone!

Unfortunately due to time constraints and the loss of my voice, I will not be able to make a commander swap video for today's long format. I will try to make something regarding it later this weekend, but for the sake of convenience, here is a rough breakdown of how you should process this event:

1. Determine the number of Scrolls you will buy. You can get up to 240, but that involves pack purchases. 120 can be bought for 12k gems, and then another 120 can be bought via packs. Since you only have 2 swaps you'd only need all 240 if you are taking 2 1111 commanders to max. If you are planning on buying to max of 240, it's pretty straightforward, but not necessary to expertise 2 commanders (see below)

2. Find your target commanders to max. My recommendation is to max the commanders that best fit your current role or commanders you are actively working on. Note that in progress commanders who are more than 1111 but less than maxed are cheaper, and star level can reduce ticket cost (4/6 star and level 30/60 of same skill rank in skill 1 is cheaper than 1 star and level 10 when being swapped with the same maxed commander since technically you have more unlocked skills). HUGE RECOMMENDATION: if you can spare the materials to max them out or go to all 4 skills unlocked before swap do it, it's totally worth the extra materials 🙂

3. Find your target march to reset. Find unused expertised commanders for this, but if you don't have those available either swap your weakest marches of the same troop type/role, or as close to max as possible commanders you don't use to keep your available marches at the same level or better. Note that 5551 to 5555 is 310 gold sculptures so if you aren't going to swap to max that's something to keep in mind.

5. Recommendation: if you have 2 expertised commanders you don't use, take your 2 planned max commanders to 4 star, level 30, and then 5111 (costing 50 gh), swapping both to max would cost 36 tickets each for a total of 72 tickets, 7200 gems, and would only cost a total of 7200 gems 🙂. Only works if both commanders are 4 star plus. Alternatively 2 star level 10 at 5100 (or instead of 50 sculptures use 30 to go 3111 with all four skills unlocked at four stars) will cost 72 if you are short on level up materials, and would then be 98 tickets/9800 gems if you wanted to do one 5111 and one 5100/3111 to fully maxed 🙂.

Side note too for spenders: buying 2 packs at 12 each plus buying max would be 144, which is 2 72 investments to swap. You could upgrade to 4 stars, unlock all 4 skills, go to 3111 and swap both from 3111 to max for 72 each, 144 total. All 4 skills must be unlocked for this though.

Use this as a framework for your planning and choose carefully! You do have time so no need to urgently rush it today, just think it over and compare 🙂

Happy hunting!

And finally, we have our winner! In a close match, Zenobia closes out our tournament as the best garrison in Rise of Kingdoms, and the Cinderella story of flavius has come to a close. This has been a really fun and awesome way to engage you guys, and I'd love to do more tournaments like this in the future, and more are likely to come, so stay tuned, and feel free to suggest your own tournament ideas below!

And now for our main event, we have the championship, 2 garrisons enter, but only one can be crowned champion! First, we have Zenobia, who has dominated every match, as she should as the Meta Garrison monster that she is and the established competitor. And in the other corner, we have the upstart infantry commander Flavius Aetius, who has come out of the blue to upset the channel favorite Theodora to put himself into this final match. Voting will begin now and go until Friday at 16 UTC (11 a.m. Eastern) after which a victor will be crowned, so place your votes, and who will win?
