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 and Units


Some powerful reinforcement is on the way to the Elven and Dwarven warriors of Arkheim. Beginning with S11, 2 new Warlords and 2 new Units will be introduced!




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…

New Tower Influence






During the server round S8, we have realized that due to the current way of how influence is spread, towers in construction were way too difficult to stop. That's why we needed to introduce a hotfix back then [URL:https://forum.arkheim.com/forum/index.php?thread/1174-hotfix-tower-influence-08-04-21/], which was only a temporary solution. Now, after a thorough rework of the way influence is spread, we are happy to present you the newest Dev-Diary including a detailed…

You thought you know the depths of the Dungeon? Think again...

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…

Warlord Battle Mechanics







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…

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…

Warlords & Troops





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, Cavalry or…

The Items of Arkheim


No Warlord should go to battle naked. You can equip them with items that give your Warlord bonuses of different kinds. They may increase the initiatives of a particular troop-type, increase attack or defense values, increase the percentage of XP you gain during a battle or increase certain probabilities, for example, the probability to deal critical damage, resurrect troops, or poison the enemy’s troops. Equip your Warlords wisely. A bow increasing the strength of…

We make War that we may ascend in peace


- Misquoted Aristotle


War & Peace:
Diplomacy is key to success in Arkheim. Look around you on the map and you will see dozens of neighboring Realms. Each of them has its own goals, strategies, and intentions, just like you. Can you benefit from each other? Or are you standing in each other's way? In a world where you can't know what other Realms are up to, it's important to have allies who can cover your back and help you fight mutual enemies. You…

Congratulations to the Realm Silver Vales for winning the S3 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 Silver Vales, and congratulations on winning the S3 round! How did you come up with the name Silver Vales?

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.…
