When you first start playing Fate War, your kingdom is a small settlement surrounded by fog. The main storyline follows Baldur and his comrades as they search for shelter, which becomes your kingdom. From here, your biggest task as a beginner is to clear the fog, reveal new territories, and advance the storyline quests.

Conquering territories is the foundation of your early growth. Each new area unlocks valuable resources, heroes, soldiers, and buildings—making this one of the most important parts of your first month.

Why Territories Matter

Territories aren’t just map expansions. Each new zone provides:

  • Resource Nodes: Farms, Lumber Mills, Mines, Quarries, and more. Upgrading them is essential for steady growth. 👉 Learn more in our Resource Nodes Guide.
  • Workers & Soldiers: Peasants and troops rescued from territories immediately boost your economy and army.
  • Special Buildings: Witch Huts provide massive one-time resource boosts.
  • Chests & Rewards: Defeat the monsters guarding territories to open reward chests on the map.
  • Story Progression: Advancing quests unlocks features and keeps your development balanced.

👉 Tip: Don’t just build randomly. The quests are designed to give you the resources needed for the stage you’re in. Skipping them can leave you stuck without enough resources.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Ignoring the main story: Some players focus only on construction, thinking they can outpace the storyline. This often leads to a resource bottleneck later.
  • Spending all resources too early: Building ahead of quests can drain your economy, leaving you unable to complete new territory unlocks.
  • Neglecting daily tasks: Quests are vital, but so are daily rewards—they give you stamina, speed-ups, and gems that accelerate storyline progress.

Beginner Strategy

  1. Follow the quests closely – They are designed to guide your progress.
  2. Finish daily tasks every day – This ensures you have enough stamina and resources for storyline battles.
  3. Balance buildings with territory expansion – Don’t max out buildings before advancing; stay in step with the story.
  4. Save troops for storyline battles – Weak armies can stall your progress. Train consistently.
  5. Use Call to Arms smartly – Since this event cycles tasks every 3 hours, wait until tasks match your current storyline action (like research or training) to get extra rewards.

Pro Tips

  • Batch progress: If you’re strong enough, push through multiple territories in one session while your buffs are active.
  • Resource planning: Before unlocking a territory, check what’s required for the next quest to avoid shortages.
  • Fog clearing pace: Don’t rush blindly. Always secure rewards and workers in each unlocked territory before moving on.

First-Month Goal

By the end of your first month, aim to:

  • Unlock the majority of the 33 territories.
  • Secure Witch Huts for big resource boosts.
  • Build a steady economy from new peasants and nodes.
  • Keep storyline and construction balanced.

Your storyline and territory progress set the foundation for your long-term growth. If you manage resources wisely and avoid the early mistakes, your kingdom will stay ahead of the curve.
