Objectives and their point rates
Each objective pays a fixed rate per unit of effort, up to its own cap — so there is no way to carry a stage on one activity alone, and no way to be locked out by lacking one. This stage's ceiling is 1,760 points.
| Objective | Metric | Points per unit | Cap | Units to cap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Orders completed | buildings_upgraded | 120 | 960 | 8 |
| Stores gathered | resources_gathered | 0.02 | 800 | 40,000 |
Milestones and rewards
Three milestones sit at 40%, 70%, 100% of your personal cap for the stage, each paying out once.
| Milestone | Your points needed | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| 1 — 40% of cap | 704 | Food 4,000, Wood 4,000 |
| 2 — 70% of cap | 1,232 | Stone 3,000, Iron 3,000, Gems 30 |
| 3 — 100% of cap | 1,760 | Gems 80, Research 200 |
The shared boon
The realm's masons have found their rhythm — +15% construction speed. It lands only if the entire realm banks 400,000 points during the stage — which is why the correct play in the first week is to want strangers to play well. It is the only week that will ever be true.
