What is a Nobleman?

A Nobleman can reduce the loyalty of an attacked village. If the village’s loyalty drops to 0 or below, the village is conquered, and you take ownership. Each village starts with a loyalty of 100, which resets to 25 after it is conquered. The reduction in loyalty by a Nobleman is randomized—usually between 20 and 35 points per attack—but can be influenced by certain items or Paladin skills.

A Nobleman attacking alone usually dies due to the base defense of a village, so you should always send troops along with it. However, sending multiple Noblemen in the same attack will not affect the loyalty decrease, as the reduction remains randomized per attack regardless of the number of Noblemen sent.

Creating and Using a Nobleman
To create a Nobleman, you need:

• 40,000 Wood
• 50,000 Clay
• 50,000 Iron
• 100 free farm space

A Nobleman travels at a speed of 35 minutes per field and has no carrying capacity.
To create a Nobleman, you must first build an Academy. The number of Noblemen you can create depends on the number of gold coins you own. Gold coins are stored globally in your Academy and are not lost when you lose a Nobleman or a village.

Note:
The more villages you conquer, the more coins you'll need to mint when you want to create your next Nobleman.

• 1 coin is needed for the first Nobleman,
• 2 additional coins for the second,
• 3 additional coins for the third, and so on.

Special notes about Nobleman

• Disappears upon nobling: When a Nobleman successfully nobles a village, it disappears, and you must mint more coins to create another one.
• Nobling your own village: You can noble your own village (e.g., to reset its loyalty to 25). In this case, the Nobleman is lost, but you do not need to mint additional coins as your total number of villages has not increased.
• The mortality depends on Infantry losses (e.g., 1 Nobleman dies if half of the Infantry is lost, and if there are 2 Noblemen in the attack, 75% of Infantry has to be lost to lose them both).
• Influence of World Settings:
  • The price of Noblemen can be lower on older worlds due to automated settings, especially for most victory conditions.
  • The range and speed of Noblemen can vary depending on world settings.

By understanding the mechanics of Noblemen and customizing your strategies, you can effectively expand your village empire.
