Guilds are buildings that are essential to create items and skillpoints and even more when conducting your spell research early in the game.

Effects

  • Guilds provide the same population space as wilderness, namely 10.
  • Guilds take considerable geld upkeep to maintain
  • Guilds also generate magical items at random intervals.
  • Guilds provide a bonus to skill acquisition time (tested across all servers).
    • This is capped at 5% of your land. Building more guilds does not influence skill generation.

Usage

  • Early in game: try to maintain more than 1000 guilds to speed up research
    • If you have trouble upkeeping the high amount of guilds on small land: sell the items!
    • Guilds build quite slow. For efficiency, after exploring, first build workshops one-turn-by-one-turn to a few hundred (and also build some towns and farms to upkeep stuff) -- thereafter build remaining wilderness to guilds, -- thereafter destroy 25% workshops and build that wilderness also with guilds.
  • Thereafter: try to maintain 5% of your land as guilds, to generate skill points efficiently
