Congratulations to the Realm of Cthulhu for winning Alvorsted (S18)!

We in the Arkheim team wanted to sit down with the winners for a moment and ask a few questions on how their game round progressed.





Where does the name Cthulhu come from?


We had a discussion about it before round started. We wanted some subtle connection with old mythos, that would be strong and powerful.
You can never be certain that you win, so there was a degree of responsibility in taking big name.
Contrary to an…

What are our intentions behind the Concept?
The current Endgame has a few issues and missed opportunities we want to improve on. One of the most important points is to let the top Realms enjoy the full time of the endgame with the strategic most interesting content: The fight for Towers and Orbs. The weakest Realms in contrast get a clear and realistic goal they better can act on: Surviving on their island as long as possible. Also, we want Eternal Orbs not to be an alternative winning…

Congratulations to the Realm of Epoca for winning the launch server Alvorsted (S13)!

We in the Arkheim team wanted to sit down with the winners for a moment and ask a few questions on how their game round progressed.



How does it feel winning the launch server Alvorsted (S13)?

I feel satisfied. And very proud. I was able to assemble this team within a day and a half.

Sad that it’s over.

Exhausted.

Can’t wait for Alvorsted (S16), but I need a good team.…

Two new Warlords are joining the rows of Arkheim's armies. And with their arrival, a new era begins.




Dear Ascendants,


more content is nearing the shores of Arkheim and as usual, we would like to hear your feedback about the current development concepts that are work in progress. We would therefore like to invite you once again to a Discord-Dev-Talk with our game designer DarioR. Join us on Discord [URL:https://bit.ly/Arkheim_Discord] on Friday 26.11.21, starting at 4:00 PM CET to give…

Ever wondered what the War Potential values in the statistics actually mean?






The ‘War Potential’ does not only indicate the total strength of a player’s army, it is also
an important factor for the calculation of the XP and Soul Energy gained in PvP battles.


What is War Potential?
War Potential is a value indicating how much war power there is available and ‘in stock’.
It includes the power of the troops that are attached to the Warlords but also those that are in Town and not attached.…

Congratulations to the Realm Beerholders for winning the S10 round of Early Access!

We in the Arkheim team wanted to sit down with the winners for a moment and ask a few questions on how their game round progressed.



Where does the name Beerholders come from?




That's the pet name we give to the leeching/empowering Warlords walking alone with one single lowest-tier infantry unit as their company. Someone needs to be holding that beer when things get serious, right?


It is also a tribute…

Daily Quests & Login Bonus



Just came back from the Dungeon when someone yelled
"5 POINTS TO THE GENTLEMAN WITH THE BLOODY ARMOR AND THE DEMON SKULL ON HIS PIKE!".
Must be some kind of new motivational program ...




Apart from the regular quests you have in your quest-book, you can also get rewarded every day for meaningful actions you do on daily basis. Those actions (daily quests) will give you points. When reaching a certain amount of points, you get different prizes such as Resources,…

New Warlords
For the late game, one Dwarven and one Elven Warlord will be unlocked with Level 108. These are not Premium Warlords and are therefore accessible for everyone.

Fighting the Goblins

There are various types of units in the world of Arkheim, and each unit type has its own bonus. Knowing the unit bonus helps select which targets to attack with an optimal army. In this guide, we will explain how to fight Goblins with so-called anti-goblin units. Thank you, Psyche, for the original Italian guide! [URL:https://forum.arkheim.com/forum/index.php?thread/1259]

What are these Anti-Goblin units?
Some units have a specific bonus against Goblins and offer you a…

Tower Influence Rules






How is Influence spread?


Each constructed Tower or Portal spreads influence around it. This influence is strongest nearby the Tower or Portal and declines with more distance. The influence of two or more Towers of the same Realm adds up.



How is Realm the territory distributed?


The territory of a Realm reflects the area in which it has more influence than all other Realms. This is done by looking at each individual field and checking which Realm has the most…

Congratulations to the Realm ITF for winning the S7 round of Early Access!

We in the Arkheim team wanted to sit down with the winners for a moment and ask a few questions on how their game round progressed.


Congratulations for another win! Who were your heroes this round?

Khrawn! The crowd cheers in unison. Jokes aside, we had a few individuals doing very good as well as keeping the team together whenever Khrawn was "at work" or whatever that means.

To name a single or a few people who did…

PvP Fighting Sequence







Warlord Pairings and striking order
If a group of Warlords from the attacking Realm meets another group of Warlords from the defending Realm, the Warlord pairings are defined by the total fighting strength of the Warlords. The Warlords with the highest fighting strength on each side face each other first, then the second-highest, and so forth.


Slot attack order
Each Warlord has 3 troop slots. When a battle begins the troop slots are being sorted so that for each…

Low chants can now be heard from this towering construction.
Proudly emblazoned is a gem, eerily similar to the Arks of Arkheim.





The Goblins have had enough of being constantly ambushed by the new habitants of Arkheim and decided to unite!
Starting S7, you will encounter several NPC Realms on the map: The Goblin Realms.


In the mid- and late game, battles on the lower islands may become arduous at times as gaps between Realms become bigger and bigger. With the introduction of Goblin…

Congratulations to the Realm ITF for winning the S4 round of Early Access!

We in the Arkheim team wanted to sit down with the winners for a moment and ask a few questions on how their game round progressed.


Hello ITF, and congratulations on winning the S4 round! How did you come up with the name ITF?


Originally ITF came from TTF, which came from another game called Talibri, which meant Talibri Trade Federation, which later when they expanded into other games became the Intergalactic Trade…

Warlord and Troops Mechanics





Who are the Warlords?
Warlords are the chiefs of your armies. You command your Warlords and lead them to battle, together with their troops. No Warlord is like another. They all differ a lot from each other. Not only by their name, appearance, personality and leisure activities, but also by their attributes, troop-slots and skills on the battlefield. Here are the most important factors you should look at when choosing your Warlords:
Troop Slot Type (Infantry,…
