What are Quests?

The Quests are a relatively new game feature, they replaced the old tutorial. Players are presented with these quests and if they complete them, they are rewarded with things like troops, spells, resources and even culture points.

There are many many different quests, they are separated out into their type here. I.e. There is a whole group of quests that are just about getting you into the game, they are the "Tutorial Quests", there is a group of quests that are all about showing you how to attack and what not, these are the "Warfare Quests".

Advisors

Below you are able to see the advisors who give you the quests, there is no set rule regarding them and the quests, in that the red advisor doesn't do all of the "Warfare Quests". However there is a table below that shows that they are predominantly responsible for.

Image Role
Quests1.png The Red advisor is mainly responsible for all things to do with resources. Trading, building resource buildings etc.
Quests2.png The Yellow advisor is mainly responsible for all things to do with warfare. Attacking farming villages, building up your army etc.
Quests3.png The Green advisor is mainly responsible for all things to do with getting you off of your island. Build transports, conquer another city etc.
Quests4.png The Blue advisor is mainly responsible for getting you going. He handles almost all of the tutorial quests and does crop up every now and then with quests to generally aid you, i.e. many of the culture quests.
Quests5.png Still looking into it. :)

Quests

The quests are in chronological order within the groups, but the groups themselves are not. What this means is that within each group, the order is correct. You will move from one to the other in that order. However You could do the Tutorial quests and then the Warfare ones, it is all to do with which requirements you have met. It is also highly likely that you will be doing quests from many of these groups at the same time.

The Island's Farmers

Name Description Requirements Reward
Demanding and Looting Your island has a few farming villages, one of which is already subjugated. Here you can demand a regular tribute of resources.

Demand or loot some resources from a farming village on the map. 6 Swordsmen.

Recruiting The more farming villages you control on your island, the more troops you will need. You cannot conquer additional villages without additional troops.
