Your keep

Plots, New Building, upgrades, the single build queue, and speed-ups.

Last updated 29 October 2026

Tap Open Keep to enter your walled city. Here you place and upgrade buildings.

Plots

Buildings sit on plots. You have 13 plots, but some are locked until the Keep is high enough.

Each building type has a limit on how many you can build. See the table in Buildings for the exact limits.

Building something new

1. Tap an empty plot.
2. The New Building list shows every building, its cost, its build time and what it requires. Requirements show green when met and red when not.
3. Choose one and confirm. The cost is paid immediately and the building starts at level 0 while it is under construction.

You start with only the Keep. Farms, lumberyards and quarries do nothing until you build them.

Upgrades and the one build queue

You can have 1 construction or upgrade running at a time. If you try to start another you are told the queue is busy. Training troops uses a separate queue, see Units and training.

Most buildings need a minimum Keep level, so the Keep is the gate to everything else.

Speed-ups

You can finish a running upgrade early by spending Cedar Marks. The game always shows the price first, then asks you to confirm. One mark covers 600 seconds of remaining time.
